The bubbly music immediately gives away an idea that this is either going to be a musical or a romantic comedy. Seconds into the sequence we realise that this is going to be about school life, as the radio says "first day of school". The sequence has been animated but it includes a lot to do with the film, such as the cars, T-bird jackets, Rydell flags and the hair wax. It also gives us an idea on the type of characters they are such as the first character caring about the way he looks and his hair, whilst the next is surrounded by animals like snow white, this shows us that she is going to be kind natured. I think that using an animated sequence was very successful as it makes the audience excited to meet the characters.
