- The visual aspects of the opening consist of brightly coloured doors and monsters to help attract young children, this also foreshadows that a door will play a key part in the film.
- In terms of the titles there are only 6. This could be because its a children's film and they wouldn't be interested in the titles however it could also be because it is an animates film so there are no particular actors, just voiceovers in the film.
