I’m sure we’re all watching this during the holiday season. And for all the years I’ve watched this, I never registered why that ‘e’ might be slanted. But it was a clever addition by whoever marketed this film to convey some details about this movie’s structure and premise (lots of kids and Kevin is always left behind and taken care of) . May not have been intentional but it’s a really cool coincidence. And a Merry Christmas to all.
The ‘e’ at the end of the Home Alone opening title is slanted, alluding to Kevin. This works because between the his parents and Uncle Frank’s kids there are 9 total, and ‘Home Alone’ is 9 characters long.
