I wonder if you could get a similar sound effect with a film projector today or if it was a product of the projectors of the period. I bet it made converting/digitizing difficult.

I guess the music on the intro wasn't hand painted? It sounds more like an analogue synth.

I was wondering that too. Reminded me of a Moog, though this is from 15 years before Moogs were invented.
