'''Music/Sound Variant''': On the LaserDisc version (PCM track), the first second of the Deep Note is cut. However, when this version was re-used for the 2000-2003 DVD version, this bit of the Deep Note was put back in. | '''Music/Sound Variant''': On the LaserDisc version (PCM track), the first second of the Deep Note is cut.

'''Availability''': Might have been common in THX theaters during its heyday, but it can be found on most Pixar movies on DVD such as ''Toy Story'' (the 2000 ''Ultimate Toy Box'' release and international releases of the ''10th Anniversary Edition''), ''A Bug's Life'' (the 2003 release), ''Toy Story 2'' (the 2005 ''Special Edition'' release in the U.S. only; also the first to introduce the remastered variant), and ''Cars'' (the last THX-certified Disney DVD so far as the Blu-ray and VHS of ''Cars'' don't use THX, and don’t expect it or the next logo on the original DVD release of ''The Incredibles'' as it uses the “Cavalcade” trailer, while the VHS isn't THX-certified either); as well as some THX demo DVDs. Seen online as well. According to the THX Ultimate Demo Disc and the insert on the THX Picture and Sound Optimizer disc, this trailer was released in time for the film ''Independence Day''. The "DELL PC" version is exclusive to the THX Picture and Sound Optimizer disc. | '''Availability''': Might have been common in THX theaters during its heyday, but it can be found on most Pixar movies on DVD such as ''Toy Story'' (the 2000 ''Ultimate Toy Box'' release and international releases of the ''10th Anniversary Edition''), ''A Bug's Life'' (the 2003 release), ''Toy Story 2'' (the 2005 ''Special Edition'' release in the U.S. only, The 2000/2001 DVD uses the Broadway logo; also the first to introduce the remastered variant), and ''Cars'' (the last THX-certified Disney DVD so far as the Blu-ray and VHS of ''Cars'' don't use THX, and don’t expect it or the next logo on the original DVD release of ''The Incredibles'' as it uses the “Cavalcade” trailer, while the VHS isn't THX-certified either, also doesn't appear on Monsters, Inc. due to using the next logo.); as well as some THX demo DVDs.

'''Editor's Note''': This logo boasts very nice CGI for the time as well as a humorous and friendly atmosphere compared to other THX logos. | '''Editor's Note''': This logo boasts very nice CGI for the time as well as a humorous and friendly atmosphere compared to other THX logos. | ||

'''Music/Sound Variant''': On some releases (like the aforementioned Monsters, Inc. VHS, Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box DVD and the version on the Made in Point Richmond DVD), the logo is slightly louder, and more mooing sounds are added in, and the moo noise heard at the end is heard later. | '''Music/Sound Variant''': On some releases (like the aforementioned Monsters, Inc.

'''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 in the US on ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume Two'' on December 5, 2005. Internationally, the remastered variant debuted on ''Toy Story 2 Special Edition'' on November 28, 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'' and the Japanese DVD releases of ''Waterboys'', ''Check it Out, Yo!!'', and ''Swing Girls''. | '''Availability''': Seen in THX-certified theaters for some time, though for how long remains a mystery.

'''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'' (which is very fitting). This was spotted on the 2006 DVD of ''District B13'' and ''THX Demo Disc II'', as well as the 2006 Japanese releases of ''Brave Story'' on DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-ray. | '''Availability''': Rare due to its short lifespan.

'''Editor's Note''': As with the 6th and 7th trailers, this is yet another humorous effort from THX. However, the way the car boots up and the close-up of the car 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.
