Kinematic typography

Kinematic typography is the art of animating text with sound. 

Examples are movie opening title sequences. Such as this classic by Saul Bass. Kyle Cooper is another practitioner of kinematic typography. A lead designer at Imaginary Forces, Kyle has designed the awesome opening movie titles for Seven,  Spider-Man, and the video game Metal Gear Solid 3.

*following contains salty language*



The above kinematic typography of a scene from Pulp Fiction was created by Jarratt Moody.





This example was created for a "Full Metal Jacket" commercial for American Movie Classics.

More examples can be found here.

Those are cool. Of course it helps when you have dialog that expressive to work with.
