SCAD INSPIRE 2008: AWARD WINNER
BDA STATE OF DESIGN: BEST OF 2007 SHOWCASE PIECE

"The gorgeous, kinetic opening credits feature an animated brilliance and sense of humor."
-FILM JOURNAL

"You know exactly what kind of film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is going to be as soon as the opening credits begin to bounce around—at least for the most part. This opening sequence is playful and enjoyable to observe, much like older children’s films. It’s nice to see someone having fun with a title sequence rather than thinking there’s a strict format to comply with. This opening puts the viewer in the right state of mind for the events about to unfold."

-IMDB

"Everything about the film is playful—from its opening credits ("Supposedly a film by Zach Helm") to its closing credits (where every character, no matter how minor, has both a name and a description)."

-THE MOVIE CHICKS

-DESIGN RELATED

"In the title sequence for Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, retro illustrations, cutout found elements, bold fields of color and about a dozen different typefaces all collide to create a motley mash-up that’s surprisingly fun to watch. Everything is held together by artfully balanced compositions and harmonious palettes that underscore each vignette’s motif."
-MOTIONOGRAPHER

"The movie is excitingly designed, starting with terrific cartoon titles..."
-SIGN ON SAN DIEGO

"The opening credits are delightful and most entertainingly magical this year, reflective of the old style credits of the PINK PATHER with a modern twist."
-IMDB

"a pop-art pastiche reminiscent of “Yellow Submarine,” “Monty Python,” and the art of Pulitzer-winning poet Richard Wilbur in his “Opposites” poetry series for children."
