Title sequence
-
Wow, quite a debate to wake up to! For what it's worth I agree that it's just a continuity error. Occam's razor and all that. They probably thought no one would notice - I never have despite the many, many times I've seen this sequence!
If you look at the path before the monster appears we can there's a relatively straight path running towards the castle and then a path winding round and round up the mountain. After the monster the knight is still on the straight section.
It also makes more narrative sense to assume its the same point, regardless of a lack of vegetation.

The castle appears at the top of a mountain, we see this clearly. The path way along the mountains is where the knight jumps the gap, it's clearly a gap with a drop either side. The monster and overgrown thorn bush are part of a woody aria at the bottom of the mountain, we see the knight travel through this but at the very start. Too me this is so clear and obvious.
Who created this sequence? Maybe they could be contacted?
Things like this require a little imagination I guess, and I personally don't need to see everything to know exactly what's happening or what happened. It's about a 30 second title sequence not a ten minutes cartoon. And the back rounds change so much it seems likely to be deliberate. You just have to look at the several different envrioments to see their meant to be different places.

Just my opinion of course in case anyone is wondering.

Ah, there is some severe over-analysis going on here, isn't there?
Yes, yes there is
I thought that after I'd found myself watching the first 14 seconds of the credits three times in a row...

Ok, how's about this:
The sequence was originally longer and the programme title is used to cover an edit between earlier and later sections of the knight's journey.
So yes, they are two different sections of the path but they are being presented in the final edit as the same point.
So everyone's right!
Like I said, I'd never actually noticed the difference such is the narrative continuity.

What fools people is the horse. It steps back when the monster pops up, the title flashes on screen and then we see the horse stepping back again and the gap on the ledge is revealed. Like all old animation they do cheat by using the same footage. The title card half way though always seemed out of place which is why I think it was used as a kinda 'break' so afterwards to cuts to a completely different scene.
lol and yeah, I also watched it several times in a row last night on youtube.. trying to pick out every single detail.

The hand that comes out the wall in the other sequence I assumed belonged to the wall monster? His face is seen and it's the same texture. (wall texture lol)
There's a face in the wall?!
-
Yes, you can see his mouth appear.
Oh you mean the thing that sticks out above the hand? I always wondered what that was. Not convinced it's a mouth though....
-
I'm not saying it's NOT a mouth, I'm just saying I'm not convinced... But I have always wondered what it was.
