'''Trailer:''' The THX logo starts up as normal, but just as the Deep Note starts to intensify, the logo suddenly falls down revealing Shrek and Donkey (voiced by Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy respectively) creating the Deep Note with a wind chime, an xylophone, a bagpipe, a kazoo and an accordion. The two realize they've been exposed, before looking at each other and smiling awkwardly as Shrek raises the logo (which is apparently a cardboard cut-out) 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 at him, and the two walk off-screen. The screen fades to black as the words "illuminate your senses" fade in on the top and shine, a smaller THX Certified Cinema logo in the middle, and copyright info on the bottom. | '''Trailer:''' The THX logo starts up as normal, but just as the Deep Note starts to intensify, the logo suddenly falls down revealing Shrek and Donkey (voiced by Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy respectively) creating the Deep Note with a wind chime, an xylophone, a bagpipe, a kazoo and an accordion.

'''Trivia:''' The "LUCASFILM" text above the THX logo is visible for a split second when Shrek lifts it up. This is an editing mistake that made it to the final trailer, as this trailer was supposed to premiere in late 2001 when THX was still part of Lucasfilm. | '''Trivia:''' The "LUCASFILM" text above the THX logo is visible for a split second when Shrek lifts it up.

'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' Donkey's "Uh-oh..." is taken from an early part of the first ''Shrek'' film when he realizes he ran out of fairy dust while he is trying to escape Lord Farquaad's guards. | '''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' Donkey's "Uh-oh..." is taken from an early part of the first ''Shrek'' film when he realizes he ran out of fairy dust while he is trying to escape Lord Farquaad's guards. | ||
'''Availability:''' | '''Availability:''' This was initially supposed to premiere on November 2, 2001, presumably before ''Monsters, Inc.'', to promote the DVD release of ''Shrek'', but was pulled at the last second, as such, it was theorized that Disney threatened to cut ties with THX over the trailer since ''Shrek''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s DVD release date was the same day that ''Monsters, Inc.'' opened in theaters due to long-standing animosities between Disney and DreamWorks (which Disney denied), but THX themselves stated it was due to not wanting to be associated with a specific film. It eventually debuted online in 2006 to promote ''Shrek the Third''<ref>https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/shrek-the-third-q29sbgvjdglvbjpwwc0zndgynjm</ref>, with the trailer also appearing on the film itself theatrically in UK cinemas (and possibly other films). It was later uploaded to the company's YouTube channel as well. | ||
