Extra Research: Adventure Genre

I have looked into the Adventure genre to get a better idea of different genres opening sequences.

Madagascar is an animated adventure following the lives of four zoo animals who want to leave and spend their lives in "the wild". They are then shipped to Madagascar by accident where the adventure unfolds.
The opening sequence begins with the film company's name and opening credits- like every other children's film genre we have researched into. The film then begins with choir music as the character is dreaming about being out in the wild. This alone gives us a brief idea of what the genre is as the character is already having some sort of adventure. It also instantly shows us the main characters in the film and this means it doesn't take to long to get going. When the character is in the zoo after dreaming we find out the main narrative as we realise the character is not where he wants to be and that he will somehow find his way out of the zoo. The fact we know they are in a zoo gives us a good indication of the location to. With all this information foudn out in the first couple of minutes the narrative looks exciting and the audience will begin to wonder what happens next. This is a usual convention of an Adventure genre as the film begins to unfold from the very beginning.
