Coming Up With Opening Sequence For A Movie Can Be Quite Hard.
Haven’t you ever heard the saying? ‘First Impression Is The Last Impression.’ Well, turns out it applies to movies too. I mean if a movie started out boring, we would probably stop watching halfway even thought it might get interesting later.
The opening sequence of a movie can leave a lasting impression so it makes sense that filmmakers would want to spend time on this particular area. To celebrate the handwork of filmmakers we have compiled seven facts of our favorite Disney movie opening sequences that you might not know about.
