Can’t say it should be number one, but how can the opening scene to UP not be on this list?😮
And in rio we still don’t know what happened to his parents
I'm surprised, but glad, that Prince of Egypt topped the list. I feel like "Deliver Us" gets overlooked compared to its other songs, when it really does an amazing job setting things up.
Gosh this would have been so much better with less talking and more song-showing.. :/
The Prince of Egypt will forever have a special place in my heart
Well I am surprised to see Real in Rio from Rio make this list at number 9 I would argue it should have been rated higher but regardless it’s always a good thing when this film gets any recognition as that film is CRIMINALLY underrated.
“This Is Halloween” is my favorite.
You left out dare from transformers the movie
According to plan
It's a beautiful day
It's q rather nice day
A day for a glorious wedding
Me: what? How is Lion King No. 2? Nothing could possibly be better than the Lion King’s opening
Me when Prince of Egypt comes up: well ok except maybe that
Lion king should be number 1
Top 10 Dreamworks introductions
Little town, it's a quiet village.
“Great Spirits” from Brother Bear is definitely a qualifier.
I always cry, when I hear Deliver us. It's the best opening ever!
prefer he lives in you over circle of life
This is why I love Tim Burton, because his animated movies start off grey and dull, but as the movies progress ⚙️⚙️⚙️, the movies become colorful, joyful, and fun at the same time
I love real in Río ❤❤❤
The prince of Egypt’s opening is amazing and I love it. The animation in the movie is so amazing and beautiful. And the opening is just so emotional and amazing and I love the song so much. It was absolutely perfect
I’ve always loved the shrek openings. Especially in the 2nd movie accidentally in love. I love how it has so many different references in it. It just makes it so funny
I am asking where is "arabien night" from alladin?
The prince of Egypt ABSOLUTELY deserved it's number one spot!
Aladdin's opening song should appear too. Arabian Nights
Spirit's opening number " Here I am" by Bryan Adams should be at least an honorable mention. That is just such a sweeping song.
I always get goosebumps hearing “Bells of Notre Dame”. It’s so so beautifully written!
Not sure if someone else already made this comment or maybe I'm the only one, but I was expecting "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan. I love that song lol
Gotta throw in an honorable mention – Bryan Adams’ opening song in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is a gorgeous piece that brilliantly sets the stage and tone for the film ❤
Was waiting for Arabian Nights. Man, that intro was epic!
Missing(s): Dream Time from Dot and the Kangaroo
Cars 2
I want it put out there most of this list consists of dreamworks productions, and of this list all were amazingly written.
The opening song to Lion King II is pretty awesome too.
And I thought randy Newmon had a friend in you I guess not 😥
I like to think of This is My Idea as being the song where you see them fall in love with each other without ever realizing it or wanting it to happen. It's why as a preteen she is chasing after him and will even later is said to be flirting with the castle guards…. and why he is so bothered by her flirting with the castle guards. This is just my interpretation but would make the world of a difference for the rest of the movie if this is true.
When it comes to god-tier animation, you can't get much better than Prince of Egypt.
No "Arabian nights"?
ARE YOU F… SH … ME?!?!?!
It's more iconic than over the half of this list …
