I haven't done a proper comparison of the shots in the title sequence and the alternate intro.
I have a feeling it might mess up the order and pace of the credits, if I use the exact shots.
You're right though, most of the titles are over forest and animal shots, and the alternate intro could be changed to be like this.

Why not use the DC intro verbatim right up to and including the credit of Asheton Gorton. Use that to replace everything in the alternate intro up to the first shot of Blunder walking through the stream. The only shot that would have to be edited out would be the close up of Blix's boots which is only shown later. The rest is mainly replacing all the Blix shots minus the 2 tree shots, which you could slot in later at the tree entrance. I'm saying this from memory as I'm at work and only have the EC on my machine. I'll look at it in depth when I get home.

I watched my edit last night checking for problems and have re-edited some parts of the movie.
I mistakenly put the black apple/glass filling scene in the wrong place. I also removed a couple of redundant shots I had added. I have however added back two shots of the cook and the demonic cherub things from the AC intro. Makes Screwball's reaction more understandable, when he decides not to stay and follow the others.


Cool, use as much extra AC footage as you can make work.
