While I was watching Sunshine (2007), Rings (2017) & Beauty and the Beast (2017). I noticed that the movie starts right after intro of production logo without any cuts.

For example: Beauty and the Beast (2017), we can see movie started with still production logo visible.

the start of the 2017 live action version of Beauty and the Beast

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) starts with the mountain that is shown in the Paramount Logo.

The other Indiana Jones films use the same technique.

In Temple of Doom (1984) the logo dissolves into an image of a mountain cast in a gong. enter image description here

In The Last Crusade (1989) the logo dissolves into a rock formation in the desert.

enter image description here

In Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) the logo dissolves into an ant hill.

enter image description here

Obviously, Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first of these films.

    This was a great tradition used through all the Indy films, I believe

  • But was it the first movie to do so?

  • There are some candidates here, but I don't see any that actually proceed into the action of the film, as opposed to being self-contained gags during the logo:tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LogoJoke
