In our last post, we looked at the "Men In Black: The Series" opening. It featured custom-created animation and original music for a modern-day animated science fiction series.
And now for something completely different.
British comedy group Monty Python became well-known in 1969 due to their television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Running for a total of four seasons, the show featured live action comedy sketches by the group's members.
However, the show's opening featured animation by the single American Python member, Terry Gilliam. Gilliam's animations, also featured in the show itself, were bizarre, surrealistic, and satirical, and his openings, set to John Philip Souza's "Liberty Bell", set the tone for the show. In all, four different animated openings were created, one for each of the show's four seasons.
Dust off your silly walks, return that dead parrot, and enjoy!
Composer: John Philip Souza
Song: Liberty Bell
Animation: Terry Gilliam, Monty Python's Flying Circus Opening Theme Song
