Today, the term animation is used broadly and encompasses a vast array of styles and technologies that are used to create the illusion of motion. Here, we focus on some really good examples of how animated characters are used in film title design. Not only do these title sequences list the main credits, they have animated characters that introduce us to the story of the film, or, in the case of end credits, retell the story of the film. Most animated sequences are made for live action movies.
