A History of the Title Sequence is absolutely fantoosh! Done in such a respectful and clever manner, it made me want to go and watch all of their work again. Stephen Frankfurt's title sequence for 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is my personal favorite so I got a tad giddy when I saw Scout's crayon. Richard Greenberg and Kyle Copper's parts were also nicely handled.

Stunning work.

Finally made the time to sit down on a comfortable chair and watch these. Amazing. All of them.
