How about something from the opening to
the Disney version of Jungle Book?
Or Winnie The Pooh [1]
◊ for Classic Disney?
I picked a screenshot from The Jungle Book but I think it's best people look at the context
to decide which frame of animation best suits the page.
We should see if someone will do one with the T Vtropes name on it.

I disagree. The book says The Jungle Book on both its cover and the first page. Since The Jungle Book is also a work, it seems like it's the opening of the movie.
Though perhaps a better freeze frame could be made from the scene. If nothing else can be found, I'm voting this as the best image so far
This also may not be obviously a picture of a movie opening, but tossing it out. Also it's not a very straight example, stuff spills out of the book to make the story world; it isn't a crossfade.
Yeah but on the other hand, it is exactly what the trope use ends up looking like.
There are only two ways I can think of demostrating "opening of a movie".
- Put in every storyboard of the movie after that first image so that it is clearly the first of many. Technically the only rules are about image width and pushing the text down. There's nothing about having 1003 of them.
- Find one where the book is displayed while the title card is up. If this happens with The Jungle Book maybe we could get a joke in the caption about how the movie's opening credits were accompanied by pictographs.
I like Fractured Fairy Tales.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickMaybe something from the intro
to Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door? 1:50 is what I was thinking, but other frames may work better.
Incidentally, the article claims every Paper Mario game begins like this, but the first Paper Mario distinctly does not.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.
That just looks like a normal book, in part because it's just them filming the mass produced Winnie The Pooh book.

I'd suggest something from Super Mario Galaxy.
