*There is an extended version in which after Tex drills something, he starts to saw and then hits something and yells "Ow!" (implying that he hurt himself), muttering afterward. The rest of the trailer plays like normal. This only appears on ''Fox Demo Disc #1'', disc 2 of the North American DVD release of ''Finding Nemo'' and the ''Lucasfilm THX Surround EX Demonstration Disc'', with these selections implying this was meant for Dolby Digital EX releases.

*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 ''Toy Story'' CAV laserdisc, the only LD release to use this trailer, [ LASER I/ DISC ] from the Broadway Laserdisc trailer shines under THX.
