Before anyone wonders how an intro like this isnt ranked lower, let me explain that, yes, I am aware its objectively worse than several of the intros that have already been eliminated. But it also gave me one of the best laughs Ive had in awhile (starting right about the moment that purple troll creature appears). Things dont always have to be good for you to enjoy them. Of course, the rest of my scoring factors dont have a sense of humor.

So yeah, the CGI is pretty bad. I think that goes without saying. Then theres the theme song. Children are not good singers, with few exceptions. Im not actually sure if this vocalist is a child or someone doing a good job of sounding like a child, but it didnt make for good singing. And the melody that sounds like something written by a child isnt doing much to salvage the song. But at least for me, it added to the humor value, especially when the monster and the ghost started playing horns.

Theres some story here, but its mostly just giving us the premise of this very odd show. We learn theres a kid who turns into a monster when he sneezes, and whos got a ghost living in his attic. Its basically The Addams Family as a kids cartoon. The only personality that really comes across is the monster kids amusement at chasing that terrified guy up the stairs. But hey, its something.

This intro doesnt score as badly on the Unique factor. Say what you will about it, but the intro does have a distinctive visual look compared to most other childrens cartoons. But its still a conventional presentation of a series of clips from the show.

So this is as high as this memorable intro can go. But it had a good run!
