When the first Pixar film _Toy Story_ was released, they introduced “Production babies” in the end credits. Seeing the names of dozens of new babies really brought home to me the idea that making a movie can be a huge undertaking, and made me ponder how many families were impacted during crunch times. I’m glad Pixar kept up the tradition. I wonder how many Pixar employees paused that shot when watching the film at home, telling their child “That’s you!”, and having those “babies” now showing their own children “That’s me!” in the credits 29 years later. ---

I don’t remember anything special about the credits themselves, but remember how Raymond was always snapping photographs at funny angles with his camera all along the way during their journey? The montage they show during the credits is made from the photos he took. ---

The end credits for Orson Welles’ **The Magnificent Ambersons** are _spoken_, not written. Spoken by Welles’ impressive voice, no less. The image at the time is relevant (a camera for the cinemasographer credit, a boom mike for the sound engineer, etc.) > [@](#): > > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwkan2hM74Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwkan2hM74Q) Similarly, the opening credits for Francois Truffaut’s adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s **Fahrenheit 451** are also spoken, rather than in type, which is appropriate for a film about discouraging reading. While the voiceover reads the credits, the camera pans across the roofs of houses, lingering on the TV antennas. I’ll bet that confuses a lot of kids today. > [@](#): > > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akR0dkv0Rlk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akR0dkv0Rlk) ---

Yeah, the end credits for WALL-E are superb - not just the awesome song, but there’s almost the storyboard of an entire sequel in the end credits. ---

That’s what is special about it. Just like Rain Man himself. ---

When the end credits rolled you realized that the pictures you were seeing were all the ones Raymond took on his travels with Charlie. There is a picture of an old lady’s shoes, blurry photos, pictures of signs out of frame, etc. ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > Both [Repo Man](https://youtu.be/M76jrbTjlxY?si=fkx875EEIQ89a5Ic&t=134) and [Bird on a Wire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrO1sHvzGZw&ab_channel=Samuel) have their ending credits go from top down instead of bottom up. I remember noticing it because it just looks different that way. I’m sure there are other movies that do this as well but these are the only two that I can think of offhand. I think _Se7en_ might have? I haven’t watched it in years but that feels familiar to me. Both _Married to the Mob_ and _He Got Game_ have deleted scenes from the film running under the credits. I’ve always liked that…it shows a glimpse as to what have been happening to the characters when the omniscient camera wasn’t there, as well as to the moviemaking process. If memory serves, both sets of scenes are in chronological order, so they almost play like a parallel story. ---

Towards the end of the Prisoner of Azkaban credits, there’s two sets of feet facing each other. Some young wizard and witch are playing hide the magic wand. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/memorable-end-credits/997557.md?page=1)
