The genre of monsters Inc is a hybrid of both animation and fantasy. It is an animation because it uses CGI to make the movie. You also know that is a fantasy movie because after the title sequence it opens up to a normal kids room. A fantasy film is defined by starting off with reality then changing into things that seem less real as if in a dream. It also uses creates that are made up (monsters) which adds to the emphasis on the genre.
Within the title sequence, you get to see the credits and media companies. Walt Disney is one of the companies involved which adds to the genre because Walt Disney and comedy are closely linked together. This is also true for Pixar because they have a strong reputation for animation. The opening sequence to monster Inc challenges traditional opening sequence conventions because it doesn't introduce you to the main characters of the movie until the very end of the title sequence. The use of a theme tune is based around the images on screen which makes it flows well. again challenging traditional film conventions because it doesn't introduce you to a narrative until the title sequence ends. It also doesn't establish the scene until after the title sequence.
There is a big contrast between the end of the title sequence and the start of the movie because the titles are bright and colourful which is generally associated with children's films whereas the opening of the film is dark and portrayed as scary which conflicts with the target audience of children. The narrative of the film isn't introduced until quite far in to the film where the elements of comedy are added in.
