The intro to the great movie "The Third Man" is incredibly lame. It's an awfully long close-up shot of a zither being played, while the names of the actors slowly fade in and out. Back in 1949 when this movie came out, the discipline of animated movie titles didn't exist.

Since then, animated movie titles have been invented that's how I came in a position to make one. I wanted to keep the mysterious aura of a film noir classic and add my personal touch to it.
