(Some more detail for the Burns' Heir trailer)
Line 167: Line 167:
'''Nicknames''': "''The Simpsons''", "Burns' Heir"
'''Nicknames''': "''The Simpsons''", "Burns' Heir"


'''Trailer''': We see a film marquee with the text "SISKEL & EBERT: THE MOVIE" on it, with "TWO THUMBS UP" - SISKEL & EBERT" below it. This is a reference to the show ''At The Movies'', hosted by movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. We then cut to many ''Simpsons'' characters appearing in theater seats. 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 being sued) appears, with "SOUND SYSTEM" and "THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING" under it. The sound shakes the theater/cinema, propelling people backward, breaking glasses and teeth, crumbling the ceiling and blowing up an exit sign and even a man's head. After the chaos ensues, we cut back to the screen as the audience cheers for the logo. We then cut to Grandpa, presumably deaf, who yells "Turn it up! TURN IT UP!".
'''Trailer''': We start in 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 ''At The Movies'', hosted by movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert). We then cut to many ''Simpsons'' characters appearing in theater seats, including Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Abe 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 being sued) appears, with "SOUND SYSTEM" and "THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING" under it. The sound shakes the theater/cinema, as we see several moviegoers including Hans Moleman coil back in their seats in fear, the man beside him having his teeth shatter in a close-up shot. Several more shots show an exit sign exploding, the ceiling beginning to crumble and fall, and a man's head even exploding. After the chaos ensues, we cut back to the screen as the audience cheers for the logo. The theatre screen fades to black and we then cut to Grandpa, presumably deaf, who yells "Turn it up! TURN IT UP!".


'''Variant''': The reanimated variant was shown where we see the Broadway rectangle, then it fades to the theater sign and the scene proceeds as normal, but a bit slower to fit in with the full version of the Deep Note.

Despite now being an official trailer, this version still uses the legally distinct THX logo from the original episode.
