Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

In Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events, three wealthy children's parents are killed in a fire at their home. When they are sent to their distant relative, Count Olaf, they find out that he is plotting to kill them and take their fortune left behind by their parents.

In the end credits of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, where most of the computer animation is done, the animator reinforces the material/content of the movie with very macabre closing. To reinforce the macabre theme throughout the movie - the animator slowly pans into the three children only the small raft while displaying the end credits. Just as the children are within a reachable distance, they are picked up by a silhoutte of their relative, Count Olaf, and shortly after they float off into the sky. The animator illustrates the children's loneiness by placing them on the raft in the middle of the ocean.

The animator also reinforces the content of the movie with the material chose for the end credits. The animator reuses desolate and macabre settings such as the cemetry, the valley the children ride their bike through, and the use of leafless trees. The animator also reuses creepy eyes throughout the ending.
