Several of DreamWorks Interactive's earliest games opened with dark slapstick situations occuring to the Boy on the Moon in the opening logo, such as being massacred by dinosaurs from The Lost World: Jurassic Park; being restrained and thrown off of the moon by the toy soldiers from Small Soldiers; being attacked by dragons in T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger; and using a malfunctioning parachute in Medal of Honor games. This did not cause any drama from any branch of DreamWorks, even in spite of the DreamWorks logo being based on a real world child, and the animation branch of DreamWorks even provided assets to use in the animations.
