Did Flubber start out animated? (the original)

Cry of the Banshee, the Vincent Price flick, has an opening animated by Terry Gilliam before he made a name for himself as a Python.

I seem to recall that How to Beat the High Cost of Living had an animated opening.

I remembered another one....

"Loverboy" starring Patrick Dempsey had an animated opening.

who could forget the classic "Honey I shrunk the kids" animated opening.  I loved that opening when I was a kid.  Did the others start off like that as well? I can't remember.

Four Rooms, the Tarantino collaboration also had an animated opening....with extremely annoying music.

The only film that comes to my mind right now is Frogs, but the only animation was at the end of the film and it was like 2 seconds long! Sitting through that piece with a hangover was the biggest waste of 2 big ones in my life.

To answer some questions:

Bernie, yes, as far as I can remember "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" had an animated opening.

Susan, yes, to "The Absent Minded Professor," as well, which I think is the film you mean.

Darkautumn has mentioned the animated opening to "The Fearless Vamprie Killers." What some people may not know, is that the film did not originally start that way. Only when  the film was taken out of the hands of the director and cut for American distribution, was the animated opening added. Now that the film has been re-cut, more to the tastes of the director, the animated opening has been dropped from the film.  Which is one way of telling the difference between the versions.

And let us not forget Disney's "True Life Adventures." Most of which opened with an animated paintbrush painting an animated world.

Didn't  The Rocky Horror Picture Show open with some sort of animation, after the lips, I mean?
