'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the familiar rectangle from the Brodway trailer fades in. We then crossfade to the front of the fictional Springfield Aztec Theatre, complete with a film marquee with the text "SISKEL & EBERT: THE MOVIE" on it, with "TWO THUMBS UP" - SISKEL & EBERT" below it (a reference to the show ''Siskel & Ebert'' [later ''At the Movies''], hosted by movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert).

Then it cuts to the movie screen, then a white screen with "THX" on it (not the same as the other trailers, obviously to avoid any legal trouble) appears, with "SOUND SYSTEM" and "THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING" under it. The Deep Note shakes the theater/cinema, as we see several moviegoers including Hans Moleman coil back in their seats. Chaos then ensues, with Moleman's glasses breaking, another man having his teeth shatter in a close-up shot, an exit sign exploding, the ceiling beginning to crumble and fall, and a man's head exploding (a reference to the 1981 horror film ''Scanners''). After the chaos, the screen cuts back to the screen as the audience cheers for the logo. The theatre screen fades to black and the screen then cuts to Grampa (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) who, presumably hard of hearing, yells "Turn it up! TURN IT UP!". | ||
'''Variant:''' Compared to the scene from the original episode, the pacing of the trailer is a bit slower to fit in with the full version of the Deep Note. The colors are also more vivid, and the animation is more detailed and slightly less rough. Despite now being an official trailer, this version retains the legally distinct logo from the original scene. | '''Variant:''' Compared to the scene from the original episode, the pacing of the trailer is a bit slower to fit in with the full version of the Deep Note.
