'''Availability:''' Common. First seen in most THX theaters starting on May 25, 2001 with its debut being on ''Pearl Harbor''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020802072052/http://marcoco.com:80/index2.html</ref> Seen on several THX DVDs such as ''Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace,'' ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones,'' ''Alien Quadrilogy'', ''From Hell'', ''Re-Animator'', ''The Incredibles'', ''Bayside Shakedown 2'', ''THX 1138'' (fittingly enough), the ''Star Wars Trilogy'' 2004 DVD set, and ''X-Men 1.5''; in THX theaters, and on the video games NBA 09: The Inside, MLB 08: The Show and ''MLB 09: The Show''. It's also the intro to the menu of ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc''. The final appearance of the Lucasfilm byline variant was ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume One'', released on March 22, 2005, and the remastered variant with the THX website URL but no Lucasfilm byline appears on the French DVD releases of ''Ghost Rider'', ''Abandonnée'' (along with the 13th trailer), ''Rec'', ''Boxers'' and ''Pan's Labyrinth (Le Labyrinthe de Pan)'' (including the HD-DVD). Don't expect this to appear on the theatrical edition discs to the 2006/08 releases of the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy, despite the 'THX Optimizer' option being featured in the set-up menu. The 4:3 matted variant is obviously seen on fullscreen edition DVDs of the films mentioned, however it is unknown if some just uses the widescreen variant instead. | '''Availability:''' Common.

The two look at the screen (with Donkey also nervously saying "Uh-oh..."), before looking at each other and smiling awkwardly as they raise the logo (apparently made out of wood) back up. The Deep Note starts again (albeit less loud than before) and the logo shimmers in {{color|limegreen|green}} from left to right. While the Deep Note is playing, Donkey comes out and plays the kazoo over the last few seconds. Shrek whispers "Donkey!" at him, and as Donkey mutters "Okay, okay! Chill, Shrek..." the two walk off-screen. The screen fades to black as the words "illuminate your senses" fade in on the top and shines, a smaller THX Certified Cinema logo in the middle, and copyright info on the bottom. | ||

* The "LUCASFILM" byline is visible for a split second when Shrek lift up the THX logo. This is an editing mistake that made it to the final trailer, as this trailer was supposed to premiere with ''Shrek'' back in 2001, when THX was still part of Lucasfilm. | * The "LUCASFILM" byline is visible for a split second when Shrek lift up the THX logo.
