Rise of the Guardians
The opening of the film begins with a narration from a major protagonist; Jack Frost. He's narrating his first moments of "sentience/consciousness", along with it he details about finding out he has magical abilities of freezing objects and self-propelled flight.
After his little escapade, Jack Frost flies to a nearby village guesstimating around the 1700's based on the villager's clothing and buildings. Here the inciting incident occurs when a boy passes through Frost and he realizes that not only is he intangible but he is also invisible to the locals. As he is narrating his beginnings, we get an insight into a majority of his motivations which is knowledge, to be specifically knowledge of his past as the only thing he remembers is nothing....(his name was told by the moon)
The scene fades to black and the title sequence appears citing the film title 'Rise of the Guardians'. Once the title sequence disappears, a time-skip occurs, forwarding the time period by 300 years (as stated as a subtitle). The antagonist, Pitch Black aka the Bogeyman, is introduced but not really shown in a physical form, instead is relegated to silhouettes and quick dashes of darkness. The introduction of Pitch acts as the turning point/plot point as it acts as the disruption of order and sets the other protagonists into action (Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Rabbit and Sandman) by inducting a new member to their little niche, as instructed by 'The Man on the Moon' with the new member being Jack Frost to differing reactions.
