* ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (prototype): Stuart is seen teasing a puppy by squeaking and pretending to throw a ball. He continues until a group of dogs come in, and one of them barks at Stuart. Stuart then realizes he is being mean to the puppy and throws the ball, chuckling nervously, and the puppy goes after it, but the dogs instead start chasing him offscreen. Then, a chihuahua runs after the group of dogs, barking until it goes offscreen. This variant did not make it into the final movie for unknown reasons. This is also the first and so far only variant in which a minion does not look at the camera.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (final version) and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[NBC National IDs|NBC]] airing): The text is nowhere to be seen. Bob walks in from the right, scatting a tune. AfterJust a little whilethen, the text "MIN" and "ION" (perhaps not coincidentally, the word "Minion") turns on like a large neon sign and flashes briefly, while the light above the "I" in "MIN" glows. The rest of the text turns on the same way. Bob looks at the text and is amazed. He turns to the audience and shouts the company name twice before squeeing excitedly.
** A version that starts where he says the company name was seen on the shorts ''The Secret Life of Kyle'' and ''Minion Scouts''.
** There is also another version without the "ENTERTAINMENT" text. This can be seen on a trailer for ''The Secret Life of Pets 2''.
** On the first trailer for ''Minions: The Rise of Gru'', it starts where Bob squees.
* ''Sing'': Four minions are shown, Bob, Stuart, Mel and Kevin. Kevin plays a kazoo, then sings four "la" notes. He then sings the company name and Mel and Stuart sing with him in the form of a barbershop quartet, whilst raising their arms in the air, and their singing makes the text glow. Bob, who doesn't get the idea, screamssings the name within a crazy lookoff-key yell. His yell gives the text too much glow, causing "MIN" and "ION" to lose power and turn off. Bob sees what he did, looks at the screen, and says "Whoops!" as the other minions stare in disappointment.
** On the trailers and TV spots, we see Stuart, Kevin and Bob in the center laughing. Also, they looked pasted on the template rather than added in.
** The text is off. Bob turns a flashlight on and says the company name in a dark manner, laughing maniacally afterwards. The text suddenly turns on, scaring him away.
** The text appears above at first. Carl is seen in the distance, blowing a party blower to Kevin, who is close to the camera and annoyed by the blower. He then grabs the end of the blower, pulls Carl towards him and shoves him off-screen. He moves out, the text drops down to the centre and Bob is heard saying the company name.
** A spotlight turns on, revealing Bob, who gets joined by Stuart and Kevin. The camera zooms out as the minions notice some small eyes outside the spotlight, which frightens them. anotherAnother spotlight turns on, revealing the eyes to belong to Max, Gidget, Duke and Snowball from ''The Secret Life of Pets''. Behind them, they notice a sparkling yellow twist, and yet another spotlight turns on, revealing Gunter from ''Sing''. Suddenly, the spotlights turn off, and the camera pans to the Grinch from his self-titled movie, having pulled the plug to the spotlights. He connects it to another cable, turning on a giant neon sign shaped like his movie's logo off-screen. The camera zooms out to reveal it. Bob walks in from the left, and the sign turns into the text. The ''Toho Cinemas'' emblem drops in and bonks the Grinch on the head. As Bob says the company name, the emblem picks him up, and carries him off-screen, transitioning to the ''Toho Cinemas'' logo.
** The background, even the text, is covered entirely in snow, with snow also falling throughout. Stuart and Kevin are seen wearing Christmas outfits as they play with tambourines, while Bob plays in the snow, shouting out the company name as he catches snowflakes on his tongue. This is also seen at the start of the ''Minions Holiday Special''.

Minions & More 1=
* ''Puppy'': Tom is seen flying towards the left on a dark background, using cardboard box flaps as wings. He then stops in front of a large bright white light on the left. HeTom looksbecomes atfascinated by the light for a second, then decides to go towards it, and the light electrocutes him. He then falls to the ground and the camera quickly zooms out, revealing the large light to be the text and revealing dozens of other Minions who have done the same as Tom painfully groans the company name.
* ''The Dog Days of Winter'': Kevin, Stuart and Bob can be seen in front of a small gingerbread house with the text being seen on top of it while they stand in front of a blizzard wearing {{color|red}} and white scarves and shivering. The camera slightly shakes as the area around them rumbles, slightly startling Bob. It happens again, only stronger, which causes Bob to almost be swept away by the snow as Kevin pulls him back. They stand there for a bit as the area shakes once more, this time causing all of them to float and spin around the house. The camera then zooms back to reveal that the area and the Minions are actually part of a snowglobe being shaken by the young Grinch from his self-titled movie.
