The Opening Sequence is a thirty-three second long video that is shown at the beginning of every episode of Hilda.
The opening sequence shows the titular character Hilda run through various settings, and encountering multiple characters, that are seen throughout the show, before stopping on a hill overlooking Trolberg. The sequence is accompanied by music composed by Grimes.
Season 2 has the exact same opening but it changes when Hilda jumps through a spacey void and then we see all the events that will happen in season 2 with a different ending to the intro.
