Writer/Director Gina Ramirez commissioned Arvin Bautista to animate this whimsical animated title sequence to her short film, Babysitter Blues.

The sequence, in which a happy-go-lucky Rapunzel-esque princess is unsuccessfully rescued by her prince, was supposed to comedically resemble the short’s storyline, in which a precocious and imaginative girl has a crush on her male babysitter. The art was supposed to resemble the girl’s doodles of her fantasy.

The animation was produced in Moho Animation Studio, now known as Anime Studio. The write-on titles were accomplished in Adobe Flash.
