Suddenly, a "L" appears, and as the camera pans to the right, letters such as "I", "T", "T" and the next proceeding letters follow, although parts of the letters are covered by the clouds. We then swoop past a whole bunch of several clouds, engulfing the screen. They then revolve away to reveal the text "Little Witch" with "Pictures" appearing underneath with lines on the left and right of it respectively, and the text is set by the dark of night with clouds to accompany it.
