'''Trailer''': On a gray background, we see a clapperboard on screen. The clapperboard claps and then disappears off-screen. The camera then zooms out and turns, revealing the background to be a gray BMW car with the iconic "kidney grille". Tex flies on-screen and stops in front of the car, giving a "stop" signal. Tex then tries to fly away but ends up getting sucked into the car. He gets flung around the car's engine uncontrollably and is eventually able to stop and regain his balance. He then looks up and sees part of the engine spraying. After spraying for a few seconds, it explodes, and Tex gets covered in black ash. Another part of the engine then pushes Tex up, and he gets chased by another explosion. He manages to escape from the car just in time, but then he loses control and hits the THX logo off-screen. He then stands back up, shakes his arms and foot, looks back at the THX logo, and does a "Ta-dah!" pose. A copyright notice fades in and out on the bottom right. | '''Trailer''': On a gray background, we see a clapperboard on screen. The clapperboard claps and then disappears off-screen.

'''Variant''': On the 2006 DVD and Blu-ray of Brave Story, this logo is formatted in 1.77:1 (1.85:1 in the case of the Blu-ray) as compared to the version in District B13, which is 2.35:1. | |||
'''FX/SFX''': More great animation from Pixar. | '''FX/SFX''': More great animation from Pixar. | ||

'''Music/Sounds''': A guy saying "And...action!" when the clapperboard is on screen, Tex's voice, some car sounds, and other sound effects, and the -1.5/low-pitched Deep Note from before. | '''Music/Sounds''': A guy saying "And...action!" when the clapperboard is on screen, Tex's voice, some car sounds, and other sound effects, and the -1.5/low-pitched Deep Note from before. | ||
'''Availability''': Rare due to its short lifespan. Seen on THX-certified DVD players in some cars. Possibly seen in theaters too; it's said to have premiered on ''Cars''. This was spotted on the 2006 DVD of ''District B13''. | '''Availability''': Rare due to its short lifespan. Seen on THX-certified DVD players in some cars.

'''Editor's Note''': As with the 6th and 7th trailers, this is yet another humorous effort from THX. However, the way of how the car boots up and the fact that it is in close-up, it could also be jarring to viewers. It is a shame though that this was short-lived. | '''Editor's Note''': As with the 6th and 7th trailers, this is yet another humorous effort from THX.
