LaserDisc, which was a sound test disc that predated the THX certification process and one that is very difficult to find; as well as its 2002 reissue on ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'' DVD. | *The original theatrical variant is ultra-rare and hasn't been used in theaters in a long time.

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, that is, as the regular release uses the Broadway logo), ''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, the DVD that came with | '''Availability''': Seen in THX-certified theaters for some time, though for how long remains a mystery.

The remastered variant without a Lucasfilm byline debuted in the US on ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume Two'' on December 6, 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''. | ||
