Film Opening analysis

Straight away you see the recognizable of Disney to let the viewers know that this is a Disney made film.

We are also then introduced to the film title, The Muppets. This is not the same Muppets logo that is used on the film poster but one made to look old fashioned as it goes back in time.

We are then introduced to the main character of the film (Walter) with him narrating over a montage of his past and how he grew up, giving a background to the story.

During that montage we are introduced to the other main character Walters’s brother Gary, we are also introduced to the first of the opening credits. The actor’s name, as his name is first we see that he is the main star of this movie.

Next we are introduced to where the scene is set in Walter’s and Gary’s hometown, this is not however were the majority of the film takes place. It is only the beginning; this is good, as it does not give too much away.

This is a funny moment from the montage showing what a fun family film this is and gives us an indication that it will be like this throughout.

This is an important show as it shows Walter discovering the Muppets for the first time; it stays on this shot for a while to show their importance. There are also more opening credits of the executive producers.

This introduces us to all the other main characters in the film, the Muppets as a collective with Kermit at the front showing his importance.

This being the final shot of the opening scene shows the directors name like all film do.

Overall I believe this is a brilliant film opening as it has all the main components a film opening should, introducing all the character, setting the scene, not giving too much away, and the credits blend in with the scene and it doesn’t become frustrating sitting watching them all.
