Bob Kurtz: "At that time, I had a designer working for years with me called Robert Peluce. For Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, we both wrote sequences. It's really his design on that one, and I directed. It was so much fun to do. I hate to say playful 'hurt gags'."

“For a film from 1992, a title sequence of three minutes is unusually long. Even though this opener is clearly meant to entertain the audience and make them laugh, as much as present the main credits."

Penelope Gottlieb's choice for a typeface with a bubblegum appeal is the perfect fit for this kind of animation that was designed to appeal to a large crowd.

Bob Kurtz, founder of the Burbank-based animation studio Kurtz & Friends, writes, designs and directs animated short films, title sequences and tv commercials. His first animated main title was Max Dugan Returns (1983). More recently, he completed the main title animations for The Pink Panther (2006) and Are We Done Yet? (2007)
