When he plugs it in, the graphics on the moo can change it into a Monster Moo Can. "Monster" in 3-D font fades and slides up to the top at the same time as the THX logo. When the THX logo rumbles, the Monster logo rumbles and the black screen shows the THX Monster logo in white and the THX Monster trademark in white.

Trailer: We start with a black screen before the following white text fades in:
For the past 35 years,
motion picture loudspeaker
systems have not changed...
Later it fades out, and more white text appears reading:
Lucasfilm Ltd. and this theatre
Trailer: On a black background, we see a blue outline of a rectangle. The gray text "The Audience is Listening" (in the Archive Modern II Open font) fades inside the outline, then fades out. A few seconds later, the THX logo in silver appears, The blue rectangle outline fades out, and the Lucasfilm Ltd. tagline from before (now in Futura) appears in their respective positions above and below. The THX logo shines. Variants: Throughout the years, this trailer had many different variants:
•1995 A: The audio was remixed digitally in Dolby Digital, DTS and SDDS with new technology (with the latter two systems even having a special end card).
•For SDDS, the end card reads:This THX Trailer Recorded and Presented in, with the SDDS logo below.
•For DTS, there is a card also at the beginning reading "dts Digital Sound In A THX Theatre" (with "dts" in its respective font). The rectangle then fades in, but the "The Audience Is Listening" text has been moved up to the center and in Times New Roman. After the THX logo fades out, an end card appears, containing the text "Recorded in", and the DTS Digital sound logo below.
•1995 B: As arguably the most recognizable Broadway variant, this was exclusive to home video releases. The gray text reading "The Audience Is Listening" is replaced with:Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performancein a rounded Arial Light font in white and arranged in the center of the outline. That text appears longer than the regular version, and "DIGITALLY" appears above the THX logo and "MASTERED" appears below that logo. Those texts fade in with the THX logo instead of appearing after the blue outline disappears, and they sparkle while the THX logo shines.
•1995 C: Both the audio and the trailer is shorter than the standard 1984-1997 theatrical version. The audio (in this, and both 1995 A & B variants) is also in +2 higher (on VHS & LD; +3 on PAL releases), or -1.5 lower on DVDs.
Trailer: On a black background, a small, white-outlined box containing a gray gradient background appears in the center of the screen. Then, the hand of a conductor, holding a baton, moves up in the box. The hand flicks the baton, blasting out a blue "hyperspace" far larger than the box that slowly turns red. Once we zoom through the other end of the wormhole, we see a silver THX logo slowly zoom towards the camera, against a dark red abyss. After a cooldown for a few seconds, text reading "The Audience is Listening" fades in, in the same font and color used in "Broadway"; followed by a subtitle reading "Lucasfilm Ltd. Sound System", along with a copyright notice at the bottom right of the screen.
Variants:
•This trailer was remixed in Dolby Digital in 1995. This variant had slight changes. At the start, we see the Dolby logo, alongside the text "Dolby Digital Sound In A THX Theatre" (in Caslon Open Face font). Later, in the end, the "Recorded in Dolby Digital" logo was added at the left-bottom of the screen (similar to the "Recorded in DTS" end card from Broadway).
•On LaserDisc releases starting with Highlander: Director's Cut, the hyperspeed boost is removed. The text "Mastered and duplicated for optimal video and audio performance" fades in on the dark red abyss, which transitions to the THX logo zooming in. Once the logo moves past the camera, the THX LaserDisc logo from "Broadway" fades and zooms inside the silver outlined rectangle. The THX LaserDisc logo and the silver outlined rectangle shine. This was used until 1999.
Technique: CGI, mixed with live action for the hand, done by Industrial Light and Magic using Alias Research.
Audio:
Visuals: On a black background, we see some white text that reads "This auditorium is equipped with a THX sound system." A few seconds later, the background turns into a dark red cloudy background. We see some white text that reads "The Audience Is Listening." After that, the red-black background slowly turns dark blue, somewhat similar to the previous background. Seconds after, a light with lens flares moves upward and a 90° turned THX logo rotates to its front in a blue gradient background, with "LUCASFILM LTD" over and "SOUND SYSTEM" below.
Variants:
•The 2002 Fox Five-Star Collection DVD of Speed replaces "The Audience Is Listening" text with "Best Picture. Best Sound. You're watching a THX Certified Feature." and "SOUND SYSTEM" with "BEST PICTURE. BEST SOUND." appearing below the logo at the end.
•The Dell PC DVD version replaces "The Audience Is Listening" with "Your Dell PC is THX Certified." and "SOUND SYSTEM" with "BEST PICTURE. BEST SOUND." "Dell" is in its usual font and the www.thx.com URL appears at the end with a copyright notice.
•On The THX Ultimate Demo Disc (the THX Ultra 2 and THX Story featurettes), a digital 4:3 version of this trailer can be spotted.
•A prototype version exists, in which the text is set in a different font written in all capital letters. "The Audience is Listening" is also punctuated with an ellipsis, unlike the final version. The cloudy background appears very choppy and incomplete and the THX logo at the end appears to be the print version of the time in silver, likely a placeholder until the CGI of the logo was complete. This version can also be briefly glimpsed in the THX Story featurette seen on the aforementioned demo disc.
Trailer: On a black background, the familiar rectangle from the Broadway trailer fades in. We then crossfade to the front of the fictional Springfield Aztec Theatre, complete with a film marquee with the text "SISKEL & EBERT: THE MOVIE" on it, with "TWO THUMBS UP" - SISKEL & EBERT" below it (a reference to the show Siskel & Ebert [later At the Movies], hosted by movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert). We then cut to many Simpsons characters in theater seats, including Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Abe (Grampa) Simpson. The light dims and then brightens a bit. Then we cut to the movie screen, then a white screen with "THX" on it (not the same as the other trailers, obviously to avoid any legal trouble) appears, with "SOUND SYSTEM" and "THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING" under it. The Deep Note shakes the theater/cinema, as we see several moviegoers including Hans Moleman coil back in their seats. Chaos then ensues, with Moleman's glasses breaking, another man having his teeth shatter in a close-up shot, an exit sign exploding, the ceiling beginning to crumble and fall, and a man's head exploding (a reference to the 1981 horror film Scanners). After the chaos, we cut back to the screen as the audience cheers for the logo. The theatre screen fades to black, and we then cut to Grampa (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) who, presumably hard of hearing, yells "Turn it up! TURN IT UP!".
Variant: Compared to the scene from the original episode, the pacing of the trailer is a bit slower to fit in with the full version of the Deep Note. The colors are also more vivid, and the animation is more detailed and slightly less rough. Despite now being an official trailer, this version retains the legally distinct logo from the original scene.
Technique: Cel animation by Film Roman, with Anivision helping with the reanimated variant.
Audio: The atmosphere, Grampa's dialogue, and the Deep Note. In the original scene, car horns are heard before the Deep Note.
Availability: This was originally a gag scene from The Simpsons episode "Burns' Heir" (which originally aired on April 14, 1994), but THX executives liked the parody so much that they asked to use the scene as an official trailer.
•The scene was reanimated for THX in widescreen, and made its debut in cinemas sometime after the airing of the episode in 1994, and also appeared on demo discs of the time (remixed in the three major digital audio formats no less), it also appears on The THX Ultimate Demo Disc.
Trailer: The THX logo fades in as it usually would. All of a sudden, the logo sputters and then breaks down as if due to an electrical failure with the T losing balance until hitting the X. A light is switched on a light blue background as a red robot named Tex rolls in from off-camera. Tex opens a panel on the "X", grabs a rocket pack, and flies off-screen, pulling out a hammer just before he goes off-screen, muttering "Oh, George..." (referring to George Lucas). Tex hammers at something on the right side of the screen and flies past the screen as he is going on the other side, drills at something on the left side and then flies over to between the "T" and the "H", bumps the "H" out of the way, and opens another panel inside the "T". He moves a large switch inside it, causing the logo to re-activate and complete its usual sequence with the "LUCASFILM LTD." and "SOUND SYSTEM" text as the background fades back to black. Tex notices that the panel in the "X" is still open and kicks the logo, which closes it. A black screen falls, reading "The Audience Is Listening".
Trivia: John Lasseter, then-CEO of Pixar Animation Studios, created and voiced the character Tex, who has become the company's mascot.
Variants:
•The original film print of the trailer was produced in full matte; however, it would be cropped when projected and is present in digital versions of the trailer. A clip of the full matte version was seen in Star Wars: The Magic and the Mystery.
•There is a slightly extended version in which after Tex drills something, he starts to saw and then hits something and yells "Ow!" (implying that he hurt himself), muttering afterward. The rest of the trailer plays like normal. This only appears on Fox Demo Disc #1, disc 2 of the North American DVD release of Finding Nemo, the French-exclusive Les Années Laser THX Trailers DVD, and the Lucasfilm THX Surround EX Demonstration Disc, with these selections implying this was meant for Dolby Digital Surround EX releases.
•On the THX Vimeo page and DVD releases starting in 2005, such as Toy Story 2 Special Edition, the logo was remastered slightly. As a result, the black screen that reads "The Audience is Listening" is replaced with the THX website URL, and the "LUCASFILM LTD." and "SOUND SYSTEM" text are absent.
Trailer: We see a gray, lifeless THX logo. Tex the robot, from the previous trailer, drops down from the top of the screen, and shows us a cow-in-a-can toy. He flips it over, but the mooing sound is very faint, and he shrugs. He flies to the THX logo in the background, opens the same hatch in the "X" as his previous trailer, and then pulls out a cable from it. He then returns with the can and holds the cable up with his opposite hand, revealing it to have a plug, and plugs it into the can. Tex flips the can again and we hear more realistic mooing sounds, as the THX logo turns silver and starts to rise up from the middle of the screen to its usual position nearly at the top and shines. Tex smiles and nods when suddenly the THX logo begins to rumble and shake, as if we hear a stampede of cows. Tex sees this, jumps back in surprise, and he nervously flies off with the can and the plug. The cable causes the logo to jolt to its left side for a moment before the plug disconnects from the can, putting the logo back to its normal position. The cable is pulled back into the logo, the hatch closes, and like the last trailer, the black screen with the text "The Audience is Listening" and a copyright info under it falls to the screen, as we hear one last moo.
Trivia: This trailer's original name was "Stampede", which was revealed in the DVD menu of Pixar's employee exclusive "Made in Point Richmond" DVD.
Variants:
•On a few alternate occasions between 1997 and 2005, the Lucasfilm Ltd. name was seen on top of THX; then the screen falls as usual but replaces "The Audience Is Listening" with "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature." (as seen in the "Cavalcade" trailer).
•In late 2005, this trailer, the previous one, and Cavalcade were remastered and removed any mention of the Lucasfilm name (due to these trailers being made before the 2002 spinoff), the tagline is replaced with "WWW.THX.COM". It is currently used on the THX website and their official uploads of the trailer on Vimeo and YouTube.
•In 2009, when Monster joined THX, the trailer became slightly updated. When Tex gets the cord, the camera zooms in to reveal a Monster HDMI cable. When he plugs it in, the graphics on the moo can change it into a Monster Moo Can. "Monster" in 3-D font fades and slides up to the top at the same time as the THX logo. When the THX logo rumbles, the Monster logo rumbles and the black screen shows the THX Monster logo in white and the THX Monster trademark in white.
Trailer: We see a pitch-black screen (à la the 1983 "Broadway" trailer), then we see the text "Let's see it in" appearing in separate words zooming in the center of the screen. Then we see the THX logo with the Lucasfilm Ltd. notice at the top of THX. The logo shines and we fade-out.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: A shorter version of the Deep Note that begins right before the rapid pitch change. However, new voices are added to the Deep Note and drown out most of the original voices except for the lower ones.
Availability: Seen in THX-certified theaters at the time. Although the THX Ultimate Demo Disc claims the trailer debuted in late 1999, this trailer did indeed debut on Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace in May 1999. This also appears on The Adventures of Indiana Jones (2003 release only), The THX Ultimate Demo Disc and the Lucasfilm THX Surround EX Demonstration Disc.

"MONSTER", in its corporative 3-D font, fades in and slides up to the top at the same time as the THX logo. When the THX logo rumbles, the Monster Cable logo rumbles at the same time as the THX logo, and the black screen instead shows the Monster THX logo, with the tagline reading "Bringing the Theater Home" below it.

Dec 19, 2000 · These are the logo videos for THX used on PIXAR DVD's in released shortly after 2000. These are raw rips of the Videos (codecs not changed in any way) inserted into a MKV (Matroska) container. Both progressive MPEG2 video with Dolby Digital surround sound. One is 4:3 and the other is 16:9 though.
