The film first starts with a blue screen and the iconic Disney logo appears which makes the audience already aware of the type of film they are watching. There is non-diegetic music playing behind the opening titles which carries on through the first frames, it’s quite dramatic which suggests some kind of mystery or journey for the characters to go on. The first title screen isn't very impressive, it’s a black screen with text written in white that helps with the storyline. It doesn't particularly fit with the theme of the film, this gives the impression that the film is cheap and badly edited. The first shot that we can see is a pan shot of the rainforest, which is introducing the setting, the camera then stops as a character is now in the shot. The camera then zooms to a long shot, this allows the audience to view the whole setting and the surrounding of the character so they know it’s a gloomy start to the opening. This creates uncertainty with the genre of the film as it slightly suggests it might be a comedy, however you can’t be sure just with the opening.

How is the iconic Disney sound used at the beginning and to what effect? Consider how specific target audiences are being drawn in by this. When considering the use of text, consider the suggestion being made by this particular phrase- what is being suggested about the nature of this story? How is it similar or different to other films from this production company?
