== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' and ''[[Kung Fu Panda]] '' have opening sequences that engage in [[Medium Blending]] to 2D animation.
Line 36:
* The [[Vincent Price]] comedy ''Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine'' had part of its opening credits animated by [[Gumby|Art Clokey]].
* ''[[Elf]]''
* ''[[Four Rooms]]''
* All three [[Dollars Trilogy]] movies have some form of animation for their opening credits. ''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]''' is totally animated, ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' has animated words on a live-action background, and ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly|The Good the Bad And The Ugly]]'' has a mix of animation and still photos with various filters applied to make them look somewhat hand-drawn.
* ''[[Freaked]]''
Line 46:
* ''[[It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World|Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World]]''
* Most of the ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]'' films.
* ''[[Juno]]'' (although it was more rotoscoped than actually animated).
* ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'', probably as an homage to ''Anatomy of a Murder'' and other noir classics.
* ''[[Labyrinth]]''. Notable as one of the first such sequences to be made with CGI. The animated barn owl that sweeps above and around the credits becomes a live-action one as the film proper starts, and not long after is revealed to be the shapeshifted form of the villain.
Line 55:
* The live-action version of ''[[Mr. Magoo]]'', naturally enough, uses the animated character for its credits.
* As does the film adaptation of ''Underdog''.
* ''[
* ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]'', in which [[Chuck Jones]]' animated credits overlap into the film proper as [[Robin Williams]]' character is revealed to be a voice artist working on (and subsequently fired from) the cartoon we've just seen.
* ''Nanny McPhee''
Line 61:
* ''[[No Deposit, No Return]]''
* ''[[One Crazy Summer]]'' is a semi-example: not strictly credits, and [[Justified Trope|justified]] by the main character being a cartoonist.
* ''[[The Parent Trap (1961 film)|The Parent Trap]]'' (the original, not the remake) features a stop-motion animation sequence during its opening credits.
* ''[[The Pink Panther]]'', whose titles spawned its own series of animated shorts, which themselves inspired a TV show (which, ironically enough, used live-action credits in its first season).
* ''The Private Eyes'', an early 1980s comedy starring Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
Line 67:
* ''[[Run Lola Run]]''
* ''Ruthless People''
* A deleted scene in ''[[Scooby
* ''[[Film/A Series Of Unfortunate Events|A Series Of Unfortunate Events]]'' has animated closing credits that run so long it's almost a mini-film in itself. And a creepily gothic one, too.
* ''[[Soap Dish]]''
Line 83:
* ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]''
* ''[[Bewitched]]''
* ''[[Blackout]]'', Bob Goen's first network game show.
* ''[[Bullseye (UK game show)|Bullseye]]''
* The late 1960s/early 1970s kids' fantasy series ''Catweazle''.
* ''[[Chuck]]''
* The mid-1990s sitcom ''Dave's World''.
* ''[[Densha Otoko]]''
Line 92:
* ''[[Even Stevens]]'', using [[Stop Motion]] plasticine versions of the actors
* ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (TV series)|Honey I Shrunk the Kids]]''
* ''[[Hustle]]'', possibly as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''Catch Me if You Can''.
* ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]''
* ''[[I Love Lucy]]'' (although these were replaced in syndication).
Line 105:
* ''[[My Three Sons]]''
* ''[[The Nanny]]''
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140804231611/http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/0095-The_No_1_Ladies_Detective_Agency The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency]''
* The 1970s [[Britcom]] ''[[On the Buses]]''.
* ''[[The Partridge Family]]''
Line 114:
* The UK children's show ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtymNiYlSD4 Super Gran]''.
* ''To Say the Least''
* ''[[
* ''[[Ultra Seven]]''
* ''What's My Line?'', in the late 1960s.
