'''Availability:''' | '''Availability:''' It was supposed to premiere on November 2, 2001 presumably before ''Monsters, Inc.'', but was pulled at the last second, as such, it was theorized that Disney threatened to cut ties with THX over the trailer since ''Shrek''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s DVD release date was the same day that ''Monsters, Inc.'' opened in theaters due to long-standing animosities between Disney and DreamWorks (which Disney denied), but THX themselves stated it was due to not wanting to be associated with a specific film. It eventually debuted online in 2006 to promote ''Shrek the Third''<ref>https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/shrek-the-third-q29sbgvjdglvbjpwwc0zndgynjm</ref>, with the trailer also appearing on the film itself theatrically in UK cinemas (and possibly other films).
