X-Men '97
The 1992 series' opening rebuilt shot for shot in modern animation — a revival that understood the titles were the thing people actually remembered.
X-Men '97 opens with a main title sequence of 76 seconds.
At 76 seconds, it opens well above the 58-second median for animation sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Disney+ in 2024, when Andor, Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life and Monsters at Work were also on the network.
