Episodes/Character Pop-ups

Throughout Happy Tree Friends, the way the characters were introduced, and also the how title sequences and closing credits were displayed, evolved over the years.

Season 1
Internet Season 1's introductions involved every Happy Tree friends coming out of a bush, going through an animation, such as a gesture (a wave), and then going back into the bush and disappearing. Normally, before they appear, text saying "This Week Featuring...", and when all of the characters have finished, another piece of text appears saying "Almost there...", all this happening while the Happy Tree Friends theme song plays in the background.

The gestures the characters make while they are visibly are as follow:

Season 2-early Season 3
In Internet Season 2, all the characters are featured in a book. The book shows more characters as it flips pages. All the character are featured one by one on a page. The background is usually the same color as the character.

The gestures the characters make while they are visibly are as follow:

Rink Hijinks Pop-ups
Notice the character's lower halves are outside the background in their starring pages instead of inside and all backgrounds that are used for each character are all the same.

Late Season 3- Season 4
The starring intros began with the episode Wrath of Con. Starting in Something Fishy, there is also a featuring character card, which read "Featuring a few friends:" and has the characters on a playground. Starting in Brake the Cycle, the card instead says "Also featuring:".

Each character's starring pop-up features a rhyme or an alliteration that fits in with their personality traits.
