@carygeorges there were several opening sequences as in 1963 there were shows pitched in the evening, morning and afternoon. television was still new to some, and the time slots were not as dedicated as they are today. the afternoon was considered for children, and this was rocky flying about a blue sky, and then a motorcade introducing the show. the evening beginning was bullwinkle doing some kind of high-step to the theme used in this copy of a 16mm print, but on a stage in a tuxedo.

Actually,'Ponsonby Britt' never existed,he wasn't a real person. Jay Ward and Bill Scott the producers of the series had to have an executive producer so they made one up.
I remember the sponsor I.D.'s, 'sygo'. In any event, both parts were usually shown together "seamlessly". Bill Scott insisted on no credits as a writer or "Actor"; Daws Butler's name was omitted because of his association with Kellogg's on the many Hanna-Barbera shows he provided voices for (Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear shilled for "Corn Flakes" {Yogi, "OKs" as well}, Snagglepuss for "Cocoa Krispies", et. al.)- that was considered a "sponsor conflict".
Actually, that was the FIRST part of the closing credits, 'pannon'- the show's title, with the names of the producers, the production companies, and the animation studio {Gamma} listed. Originally, that led into a 10 second closing sponsor I.D. {"Brought to you by the 'Big G' cereals of General Mills..."}, followed by the beginning of what's featured above....
It was Jay Ward & Bill Scott who collectively named themselves Ponsonby Britt. Note that in the original George of The Jungle series, Scott & Ward listed *their* names as Exec Prod, right unddr "Britt"(!)

In the 1960 'Fractured Fairy Tale', "Leaping Beauty", the King's aide is named "Ponsonby".
