140-150 seconds:
Only sound is diagetic and of the main characters. The scene ends and the camera angles change quite a bit.

This opening fits for the genre because it is typically happy for most of it, then something goes wrong near the end. This is normal for a disney film, as the same kind of thing happens in both bambi and the lion king. The target audience for this film would be young children, so typically nothign awful happens apart from maybe one of the main characters dying. The audience would expect to see a lot of happy scenes, because usually with animates disney films everyone is happy and it is very rare to see something bad happen throughout the whole film.
