Line 197:
* The [[Wartime Cartoon]] [[Looney Tunes]] ''Brother Brat'' opens with a stirring, graphically dynamic montage saluting women in the workforce exceptionally handling defense factory work - and it all leads to the big question of where to leave their kid while they're at the job. It's a setup for slapstick mayhem as Porky Pig babysits a terrifying infant.
* [[Tex Avery]] in his early years at MGM set up cartoons like [[Screwball Squirrel]] and [[Red Hot Riding Hood]] by opening them in the overly saccharine storybook style that had been the studio's stock in trade - before going utterly crazy.
** Tex doesn't waste time in ''"Batty Baseball." It opens with the title card then a good 20 seconds of cartoon mayhem on the baseball diamond before one of the characters stops everything and demands to know what happened to the MGM lion opening. The narrator apologizes and the MGM lion titles are shown.
* In Disney's ''[[Chicken Little]]'', the narrator tries to find an opening to the film, apparently because he was so sick of starting with "Once upon a time.." The opening he shows after he said he was sick of this is [[The Lion King|a familiar sunset]]. He then says "Eh, that was used already." He then goes with "Once upon a time..."
* The [[Pilot Movie]] for ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]]'' starts with several jet pilots taking off from an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean.
