Analysis of Childrens Film Opening Sequence - Monsters Inc.

Title sequence, Introduces the company and credits of the production team that created this film. We found that the music behind the titles was very chirpy and cheery and created a happy tone to the film and set the genre of the film, making it accessible for children.

We also found that the initial title sequence (the first 3minutes) uses bright colours and introduces the type of characters in the film, the monsters and a key feature of the film was displayed, the doors of which the monsters traveled through to get to the human world, emphasizing their importance. Also the use of bright colours improves the cheeriness and accessibility of the film for children. this is shown in this screen shot.

After the initial title sequence (after the initial 3 minutes to the end of the sequence), the main characters and setting are introduced, Sully and Mike, and we see that they have a strong friendship. Also it shows their relation with their fellow monsters, as shown in the screen show below.

We can see that they are greeting their fellow monsters in a friendly manner. Also the lighting and colouring and cleanliness of this street in this section gives an impression that this is a friendly neighbourhood community and makes the audience have the impression that this place has no flaws, and the children who watch this are able to see that these characters are decent people through their bold bright colourings and particularly sully's fluffy shaggy hair, makes him seem like a nice monster.
