This Pink Panther title sequence, by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, Inc. is effective because it provides entertainment before the film in the form of an animation that interacts with the text. The text maintains certain hierarchies, placing the starring roles and title as the largest and most interactive with the characters. It does not necessarily reflect the exact events in the film or even the style of film (live action vs. animation) but it does offer a lighthearted cartoon involving the film’s “mascot.” Audiences can enjoy and remember this sequence by its childlike aspects and its famous theme song. It is a very long title sequence that may not hold the attention of an audience, but I can see how it would function as a short cartoon and therefore hold attention.
