* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'':
** The first season's opening begins with Star misusing the Wand, resulting in her stern-faced parents shooing her away to Earth. She appears right by Marco, who is practicing karate (revealing he is an ActionGuy and Star's best friend). The pair then runs off to have fun by hopping between dimensions (a mischievous Pony Head opens a portal with the interdimensional scissors for them) and meeting all sorts of creatures. When they land at Tom's, Star runs away in disgust from Tom's attempt at winning her. It follows with Star summoning weird spells to face off against Ludo and his monster minions. Then, they reunite with the rest of the cast in a final shot.
** The second season's title sequence parallels the first as a way to make the changes in the status quo stand out. Star still starts out in Mewni but so does Marco (highlighting his rising importance) and, when they use the interdimensional scissors to go to other dimensions, their interactions with the cast are different. There's a gag about them interrupting Star's parent's breakfast, Star hugs Pony Head, and Star vibes off with Tom (he's on the path of being Star's RomanticFalseLead). Their run through Mewni has Mina and Kelly. There's also foreshadowing of antagonistic characters of utmost plot importance--grumpy Miss Heinous and mysterious, crystallized Queen Eclipsa. Star does attack Ludo again but, this time, he has green eyes as he's being possessed by Toffee. The cast shot is more compact, implying Star, Marco, Pony Head, Tom, Kelly, and Janna are some sort of team now.

Fairly common in {{animation}}, but rare otherwise, probably due to the cost of creating such footage. Might overlap with AutomobileOpening, where the character explores the setting while driving a vehicle; with DancingTheme, if the character dances along the way; or with CreditsRunningSequence, if it's running. Compare and contrast IntroductoryOpeningCredits, when the characters' names are displayed, and ThemeTuneRollCall, when the theme tune roll calls the cast.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': The Joint Training Arc's opening starts with TheProtagonist Izuku running to meet his classmates, followed by various shots of all members of Class 1-A preparing and stretching for their mock battle training. The teams they'll be divided into are shown grouped together, from a {{pan}}ning to a TeamPowerWalk. The camera then shifts to focus on the teachers--showing Vlad King and Eraserhead's contrasting personalities, Midnight's goofier, more easy-going one, and All Might's hesitant but proud disposition. We then get to see Shinsou walking alone, an EstablishingTeamShot of Class 1-B, Class 1-A (again) attacking, One for All's vestiges greeting Izuku, Hawks plus Endeavor in a split-screen shot (they'll work together in this arc), and Mirio looking after Eri.

** The anime's first opening starts with an introduction of Team 7's dynamics. Naruto's exuberant personality is shown by him performing a stunt on a roof. He lands in front of Sasuke and Sakura, who look amiably at him and respectively hold a BadassArmFold and a CoyGirlishFlirtPose. Then, Kakashi appears walking on some street wires. After some individual shots, the scene changes to the team effectively fighting a small army of thugs, displaying not only their ninja abilities but also the fact that Kakashi is protective of his students (he carries Sakura to safety) and that Sasuke and Naruto are best friends (the two bump fists after the battle). It's a {{downplayed example as Team 7's actual dynamic is less than functional most of the time. Furthermore, the opening excludes half of the arc's cast (Zabuza, Haku, Iruka, the Hokage, Mizuki, Ichiraku, and Ayumi).
