First lines in animated films

"On the night of September 21, 1945, I died."

"Past the place that you come from, far beyond what you've seen, is a town like your town, if your town was a dream. Only it's not a dream or a hoax or a ruse. It is Christmas in Who-ville, the home of the Whos."

"Space. Some call it the final frontier. Others call it the moon's playground. All I know is it's a great place for tellin' stories. But I'm gettin' ahead of myself! This story starts in the biggest city out there, aptly named Big City, where an out of place country family of meager means is about to have the adventure of a lifetime."

"Sophie? We just closed the shop, you've done enough. Why don't come out with us this time?"

"How's my hair?"

"I must say I'm honored you've chosen to spend your valuable Saturday night with me. What happened? Tom's parents send him off for more forty-watt bulbs?"

"Well, students...I certainly appreciate your help in cleaning out the classroom for the summer. It almost makes me forget that most of you didn't learn a thing all year!"

"Oh, no, Mr. Spacely, that's my throat you're strangling!"

"Uh, you better have a look at this, sir."

"Hey look, guys! It's the word "start"!"

"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines...Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. They left the house at half past 9:00 in two straight lines in rain or shine. The smallest one was Madeline. Fresh snow had fallen through the night. All of Paris was under white. The girls waited, shivering, at the gate. It wasn't like Miss Clavel to be late. Now what is that sound they hear? Something is amiss, I fear. Miss Clavel, it seems, has caught a cold. Now, let this narrative...Unfold."

"Lupin, are you trying to obtain eternal life, like Dracula? Sorry, but everything has an end!"

"Another village destroyed. Let's go. Soon this will also be consumed in the Sea of Decay."

"Come on, come on!"

"Behold, the King of the Koopas!"

"You almost had it, Kelly. Here, let me show you."

"Okay! Ready, Freddy!"

"What's wrong, Kelly?"

"Long ago and far away, in a village high on a mountaintop, something amazing was occurring. At the very same moment, two identical baby girls were born! One, a baby princess. The king and queen were overjoyed. Princess Anneliese would have only the finest. The second baby girl was named Erika. Her parents loved her every bit as much as the king and queen loved the princess, but they worried. They were so poor. How would they be able to care for their little daughter? Many years passed. The princess learned her royal duties, while Erika worked long and hard as a seamstress for the spiteful Madame Carp. With lives so different, it wasn't surprising that the princess and the pauper never met. But fate decreed they would. [opening title] It all started at the royal mine, where the miners informed the queen the gold had run out. The widowed queen was shocked. The kingdom was now bankrupt. How was she going to take care of her people? If only she could call on her trusted adviser Preminger, but he was away on a long journey. She needed to do something quickly to save the kingdom, but what? And then it struck her. Nearby lived a rich young king who was seeking a wife."

"Just through the rainbow, from the world we know, lies...Fairytopia."

"Annika? Happy Birthday!"

"Just through the rainbow, from the world we know, lies...Fairytopia. In this land there lived a fairy named Elina, a fairy without wings. More than anything Elina wished she could have wings and fly like everyone else. But when the evil Laverna, twin sister to Fairytopia ruler: The Enchantress, released a sickness into the air that killed the plants and took away the fairies' power to fly. Only Elina had the strength to leave her home and look for help. She took her puffball, Bibble. And sought me, the Guardian Fairy Azura. But when I was kidnapped by Laverna's henchmen, Fungi. Elina knew she had to stop Laverna on her own. On their way to Laverna's lair, Elina and Bibble received help from several new friends. But in the end, Elina had to face Laverna on her own. And though Laverna offered Elina what she wanted most in the world... Elina stood up for what was right and fought back against Laverna, saving Fairytopia. Even though it meant she wouldn't get her wings, or so she thought. For back at the Magic Meadow, the Enchantress herself came to Elina and to thank her for her bravery, the Enchantress bestowed the most wonderful gift imaginable - Elina's very own wings."

"Wow...that was an impressive band practice."

"And so, as a chief emissary of the majestic kingdom of Bulovia, which is known for its abundance of pears, potatoes and peasants, I am authorized by my courageous king and my magnificent queen to hereby invite the princesses of King Randolph to a royal gala. We have invited princesses from far and wide to this extraordinary ball."

"Just through the rainbow, from the world we know, lies...Fairytopia. This land of peace and harmony is ruled by the gracious Enchantress, and her Guardian Fairies. Yet, when the Enchantress's evil sister Laverna poisoned Fairytopia with a sickness that took away the fairies' power to fly, she was able to kidnap all seven guardians. Even the Enchantress fell under her sister's spell. All would have been lost were it were not for the efforts of Elina, a wingless fairy who was unaffected by the sickness. Thanks to Elena's bravery, Laverna was banished to the Bogs of the Hinterlands. And Elina was rewarded with the greatest gifts imaginable: a necklace from the Enchantress herself, and her very own wings. Elina loved her new wings. But later, when her friend Nalu the Merprince was kidnapped by Max, Laverna's top Fungus, Elina faced a difficult choice. Yet, to save her friend...she did exactly that. Elina and the mermaid Nori rescued Nalu, and discovered a True Self Berry that helped Elina regain her wings. The berry had quite a different effect on Laverna. Elina went home to the Magic Meadow, happy to return to a simple fairy life...or so she thought."

"What a night! What a storm!"

"Bibble, what are you doing?"

"I really like that, Teresa. And for the bridge, let's try E-flat for two bars, then D-flat then back to A-flat."

"Kelly? Kelly! Kelly! Kelly, where are you?! We're late!"

"Look at that!"

"En garde, monsieur scarecrow!"

"Well, it's another beautiful day down here in Malibu. These girls are really throwing it down out there today!"

"And this is the bedroom I've prepared for you."

"Tracey Clinger here, at the premiere of Barbie's latest movie, where top stylists Taylor and Carrie are sharing their secrets for dressing a superstar. Taylor? Carrie?"

"Emily! I hope you're doing your homework and not just watching that parade!"

"Has anyone seen my pink sparkly coat?"

"Welcome back to Good Morning Oceana! Today, we're celebrating the one-year anniversary of Princess Merliah's arrival to our underwater world!"

"Isn't she great, Vanessa?"

"Dakotah, arms! Casey, where are you looking? Gabrielle smile! And a one two three and three and four! Head up Casey watch the audience! Now on the beat! Perfect! Head direction girls lean you're arms and a two a three and four!"

"Once upon a time, in the land of Flutterfield, there lived a Butterfly Fairy named Mariposa. She was the smartest fairy in the land. She read every book she could find. And the dashing Prince Carlos also shared her love of reading. Then, one day, Mariposa discovered that the magical lights in Flutterfield were growing dimmer. These lights protected Flutterfield from the Skeezites, monsters who eat Butterfly Fairies. The lights were going out because Henna, an evil Butterfly Fairy, had poisoned Queen Marabella, and it was the Queen's magic that made the lights shine. So, Mariposa and her friends flew to the Bewilderness on a quest for an antidote. But along the way, they faced peril and danger of all kinds. When they finally arrived at the Cave of Reflections, Mariposa proved her courage and earned the antidote. When she did, her wings grew larger and even more beautiful. Mariposa and her friends returned to Flutterfield to discover the Skeezites attacking the Royal Palace. Mariposa gave the antidote to the Queen, who was instantly healed. The magical lights returned, forcing Henna and the Skeezites to flee. Queen Marabella hailed Mariposa and her friends as heroes, which they are to this day."

"Ah! We made it."

"With the power vested in me by nobody in particular...I hereby crown you Princess Kuda, ruler of the seven seas."

"Princess Alexa? Princess Alexa? Princess Alexa, are you in there?"

"Whoa! Whoo-hoo! Whoa. Whoa! Whoa! Yeah!"

"We're almost there, princess!"

"Are we there yet? I've already finished these puzzles twice. Frontwards and backwards."

"Once upon a time, in a distant galaxy...the stars would twinkle and twirl in the sky...keeping the galaxy in bright harmony with their light...but an ancient prophecy told of a time when the harmony would be broken. The stars and planets would slow their dance, and disappear...leaving a galaxy of darkness. Yet, there was hope...as the prophecy also foretold of one who could also restore harmony to the stars. One with the heart of a leader. Mm, not him. Or him...but try telling a king that. Even though the king had tried ,and failed many times over, he was certain he was the one who would return the stars to their shimmering glory. He just needed a little help...so he recruited a team with special skills to join a mission to save the stars."

"Are you excited, Rookie? We're almost there!"

"You guys ready? I finally finished the level I was working on. Can't wait to see what you think!"

"This old world is filled with wonders, but to me, there's no place more wonderful than a farm in springtime, when the sun is just lifting on the skyline. The air is so sweet, and everywhere you look, little miracles are happening. Buds swell into blossoms, eggs hatch, young are born. Everything's off to a fresh start, and life is good and busy and brand-new. Around a barnyard, big families are a blessing. The more, the merrier. Root and grunt, push and shove, room for everybody. Well, everybody except the runt. John Arabel had been up since daybreak. He'd seen size of the pig, and he wasn't looking forward to what had to be done."
