Kingsleys post on Zathura opening title sequence :- research

Cooper initially approaches this title sequence in a retro sci-fi manner, and then seamlessly switches between live action and animated shots. The sequence is done very cleverly and it's  music certainly sets the tone for the rest of the movie. The music, composed by John Debney, paired with the excellent visuals sets the audience up for the adventure ahead. Cooper usually focuses on pairing they typography with the style of the film and Zathura is no exception. The typography works with retro style of the film. The credits are centred and easy for the audience to read, they stay on screen long enough to read but not long enough to detract from the experience that the title sequence provides.
