'''Trailer:''' We see a {{color|gray}}, lifeless THX logo. Tex the robot, from the previous trailer, drops down from the top of the screen, and shows us a cow-in-a-can toy. He flips it over, but the mooing sound is very faint, and he shrugs. He flies to the THX logo in the background, opens the same hatch in the "X" as his previous trailer, and then pulls out a cable from it. He then returns with the can and holds the cable up with his opposite hand, revealing it to have a plug, and plugs it into the can. Tex flips the can again and we hear more realistic mooing sounds, as the THX logo turns {{color|silver}} and starts to rise up from the middle of the screen to its usual position nearly at the top and shines. Tex smiles and nods when suddenly the THX logo begins to rumble and shake, as if we hear a stampede of cows. Tex sees this, jumps back in surprise, and he nervously flies off with the can and the plug. The cable causes the logo to jolt to its left side for a moment before the plug disconnects from the can, putting the logo back to its normal position. The cable is pulled back into the logo, the hatch closes, and like the last trailer, the black screen with the text "The Audience is Listening" and a copyright info under it falls to the screen, as we hear one last moo. | '''Trailer:''' We see a {{color|gray}}, lifeless THX logo.

* In 2009, when Monster joined THX, the trailer became slightly updated. When Tex gets the cord, the camera zooms in to reveal a Monster HDMI cable. When he plugs it in, the graphics on the moo can change it into a Monster Moo Can. "Monster" in 3-D font fades and slides up to the top at the same time as the THX logo. When the THX logo rumbles, the Monster logo rumbles and the black screen shows the THX Monster logo in white and the THX Monster trademark in white. | * In 2009, when Monster joined THX, the trailer became slightly updated.

* A full-screen version exists (the entire trailer is letterboxed except for the tagline card "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature." is in fullscreen), this is only used for both the US VHS, the United Kingdom (Region 2) & the Australian (Region 4) rental DVD release for ''Monsters, Inc.''
