early title sequenceby *thurop

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Other

This is a mock-up I did for the opening title sequence, for the Flapjack pilot (which hasn’t aired). The network didn’t want to do an opening title sequence for a pilot, so I stayed up all night making this mock-up and writing the song, to try to talk ‘em into it. It worked!

I spent 2 or three months of 16-18 hour days building the opening title sequence (with no pay). An amazing stopmotion studio called Screen Novelties helped me animate it. I love them. Dan Cantrell helped me with the music. I love him. We were all super-proud of it. Then the studio made us cut the length in half. And that’s the one you see today…

Its probably better to have a short one, but I always feel like its missing something. We even showed how Flap and Bubbie came across captain K’nuckles…

Bubbie:
One evening as the sun went down,
And the peaceful sea surrounding

Flapjack:
Up came a pirate splashin’
And he said…

K’nuckles:
Hey, I’m not drowning!
I’m headed for a land that’s far away
Where adventure waits on dry-land
So come with me, we’ll go an’ see
A place called “Candied Island”

Bubbie:
Who needs Candied Island?
Its safer at the Docks

K’nuckles:
But there ain’t no streams of sodey-pop,
Ta go tricklin’ down the rocks…

Bubbie:
It’s dangerous and risky!

K’nuckles:
But adventurous and free!

Flapjack:
Adventure, that’s the life for me!

K’nuckles:
Theres Lollipop trees and a lemonade sea!

Bubbie:
Doesn't sound very good to me...

Chorus:
The Misadventures of Flapjack!!!
