I love the opening sequence of Abe's Oddysee for the sheer mystery and darkness it presents Oddworld as. I get all nostalgic just thinking about it. The transition sequences were awesome in how they presented Oddworld as such a large, organic world.
The directing of the films seems to have improved over the years. The opening and ending sequences of Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath are so incredibly emotional. I can't help but well up inside when the music climaxes at the reveal of Munch's Moon, or when the quote from Chief Luther Standing Bear appears. It's a shame a later games have so few. There are just six in the entirity of SW.
I do, though, think that the earlier games contain better quotes. Who could ever forget the words to the SoulStorm Brewery Junior Executives' Conference or Humphrey and Irwin's conversation? Compared with them, the language in the Stranger's Wrath movies is rather uninteresting.
