MGM’s Amazing Opening Image Was Never Real

This image was circulated on social media for a while under the guise of a behind-the-scenes shot of MGM’s introduction. Many individuals absolutely believed the snapshot to be true since it was convincing. The image displayed a lion that was attached to a device in order to produce the iconic roar that would open every MGM movie or animated short. While this image does not accurately capture the events that led to the introduction’s iconic nature, it does show an actual lion restrained in a veterinary clinic.
