*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. This version also appears on Cars, except here, the screen that reads "The Audience is Listening" is intact. | *On the THX Vimeo page and DVD releases starting in 2005 such as ''Toy Story 2 Special Edition'', the logo was remastered slightly.

*On the ''Toy Story'' CAV laserdisc, the only LD release to use this trailer, [ LASER I/ DISC ] from the Broadway Laserdisc trailer shines under THX. The "Mastered and Duplicated for Optimal Video and Audio Performance" message appears prior to the THX logo appearing. The DTS and standard Dolby Laserdiscs of ''Toy Story'' just use the "Broadway" trailer. | *On the ''Toy Story'' CAV laserdisc, the only LD release to use this trailer, [ LASER I/ DISC ] from the Broadway Laserdisc trailer shines under THX.

*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". This is the most common one as it is currently used on the THX website and their official uploads of the trailer on Vimeo and YouTube. | *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".

*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. | *In 2009, when Monster joined THX, the trailer became slightly updated.

The last "Moo" sound can still be heard. | *The video game ''Lair'' for PS3 uses the same variant from 2005 until the logo finishes, the creatures from the game run under the URL for THX (www.THX.com).

*A full-screen version exists (the entire trailer is letterboxed except for the tagline card "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature." is in fullscreen, this is only used for both the US VHS and the United Kingdom (Region 2) DVD release for ''Monsters, Inc.'' | *A full-screen version exists (the entire trailer is letterboxed except for the tagline card "The Best Sound, The Best Picture.

*On the aforementioned UK DVD of ''Monsters, Inc'', the logo is in a higher pitch due to PAL speed up, and there is no copyright info under the "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature." text. | |||

'''Music/Sounds''': Same as the previous trailer, except the Deep Note is replaced by cows mooing it (if you really listen carefully, a high pitched voice is heard towards the end of the mooing, which sounds like someone yelling "STOP!" before the sound of rumbling and cracking). The sound design is by Gary Rydstrom and Marco d'Ambrosio (who did the cow chord) according to ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc''. A variant of the Monster THX logo (website intro only) uses some electrical sounds from the ''Terminator 2'' THX trailer, of which Gary Rydstrom also did the sound design. | '''Music/Sounds''': Same as the previous trailer, except the Deep Note is replaced by cows mooing it (if you really listen carefully, a high pitched voice is heard towards the end of the mooing, which sounds like someone yelling "STOP!" before the sound of rumbling and cracking).

'''Availability''': Seen in THX-certified theaters for some time, though for how long remains a mystery. It debuted before Alien Resurrection. The Lucasfilm byline variant can be seen on various THX-certified DVDs from 2000 to 2005, mostly on films from Pixar (such as Toy Story 2 (the 2000 Ultimate Toy Box release), ''Monsters, Inc.'', ''Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition (North American release)'', Toy Story 2 Special Edition (international releases) and ''Finding Nemo'' (disc 1) and Fox (such as ''Speed 2'' and ''The Day The Earth Stood Still''), as well as THX Demo discs, and even the VHS of ''Monsters, Inc.'', although Disney Channel's original print of the film plastered this with the VHS version of Broadway instead, possibly due to time compression. The remastered variant without a Lucasfilm byline debuted on ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume Two'' on December 5, 2005. A variant is also on the ''Lair'' video game for PS3. Seen online as well. The "DELL PC" version is exclusive to the ''THX Picture and Sound Optimizer'' disc. This trailer also appears in the Pixar employees only "Made in Point Richmond" DVD along with the Tex logo. It was also seen on the French PAL DVD release of ''The Transporter''. | '''Availability''': Seen in THX-certified theaters for some time, though for how long remains a mystery.
