The Incredibles - Example of Opening Credits

This particular title sequence does not seem to follow the given order  of opening credits, the title is seen to come first which although seems unusual is used in many films. The sequence is also specially animated for the film.

This is the title of the film. Unusually used first instead of the name of the studio it was made in.  This is probably due to it being an animation.

The writer/director instead of production company. The production company doesn't seem to appear at all with in the opening credits.

Producer instead of a film by (insert name here). This could be due to a lack of famous director or due to the producer being more important in this select film.

Executive Producer instead of Starring. Usually in animation the names of actors are crucial in the opening credits but aren't seen in this sequence.

Music by instead of the title of the film. 

The story supervisor instead of featuring - in this shot you can also see how cleverly the credits are worked into the animation of the title sequence.

Film editor instead of casting.

Supervising technical director instead of music/composer, this is unusual to see in many films but due to it being an animation it is more commonly seen. 

Production designer is in the correct positioning in the title sequence.

Character design instead of editor, character design is an important factor that is seen in an animated film.

Supervising animators instead of director of photography, this is another important factor of an animated film. 

Directors of Photography instead of producer.

Art Directors instead of story. This is seen only in animation films.

Character supervisor instead of writer.

Hair and Cloth simulation supervisor instead of director. This is only seen in animation films.

Sets sequences supervisor is an addition to the opening credits.

Effects supervisor is an addition to the opening credits.

Rending supervisor is an addition to the opening credits.

Production manager is an addition to the opening credits.

Sound Designer is an addition to the opening credits.

Many of the additional opening credits are due to the film being an animation, there are far more technical elements that need to be credited therefore many of them take a spot in the title sequence that you would usually expect to see a different credit in. This is the key difference between animations and other films. Animations require more technical help and so they credited in the opening sequence where as usually technical help is credited in the closing credits.
