This is due to multiple reasons. A shorter intro costs less money to produce, a shorter intro leaves more time for the show, and a shorter intro leaves more time for advertisements. With cartoons, the decrease in intro length is in direct correlation with the increase of {{Quarter Hour Short}}s. More and more cartoons are becoming 15-minutes long instead of 30-minutes long, which leaves less time for opening sequences.

Traditionally, TV shows have {{Title Sequence}}s. These intros tend to last at least 40 seconds, with lengthier ones going on for almost 2 minutes.
Starting with the early 2010s this trend has changed, at least on American television. Cartoons and live action shows both began shortening their intros.
This is due to multiple reasons. A shorter intro costs less money to produce, a shorter intro leaves more time for the show, and a shorter intro leaves more time for advertisements.

* The intro to ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' is roughly 20 seconds long and is much shorter than its predecessor ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. This is due to it including the "Earth, fire, air, water..." portion of the intro but no long narration about the plot of the series, like ''Avatar'' had. An [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5swbvh7LMM extended intro]] exists that is over 1 minute long.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'''s intro is about 20 seconds long. In contrast, the previous ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' cartoon from a decade prior had a 1-minute long intro.
