'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts out with an octagon shape figure rising out of a {{color|silver}} surface (à la a ripple effect), and forms into another figure, which looks like petals from a flower (it in fact is a {{color|steelblue|blue}} passion flower) because we're looking at it from the top. Inside the "flower" is a crown shape figure that has wings on top of it, slowly spinning around, producing the held organ note sound, as the screen zooms in on it. Then, the scene changes. Following this is another set of wings that also spin around, but faster. A ring is spinning around with it and goes down towards the bottom of the screen, producing the buzzer. And the scene changes again. The same set of wings from the first scene is shown, once again spinning slowly, with shades seen on the left side of the screen. As the scene changes again, a tulip is seen zooming in towards the camera as it opens up its front, producing the deep brass sound. Then the screen zooms in on a mushroom as it bumps up a bit and makes drum beats. Then a set of butterflies fly by (with some stopping in the front center of the screen), producing some flapping sound is the flowerhead-like plant with dragonfly wings as petals, it pushes one-by-one clockwise, making dolphin chirping sounds, then there is a lotus seed head opening and closing its holes as it makes a melody played on a glockenspiel. Intact with the drumbeats of the jingle, there is a variety of mushrooms as they "beat" and bump up the drumbeats, and then the scene changes to swirly-like circles that vibrate, as the screen zooms from one to another, making the bass horn stab. The screen zooms into another tulip, making another deep brass sound, and suddenly, the camera flies over all of the above-mentioned items. As the camera tilts toward the front and zooms back is that the plant-covered structure is actually the THX logo. The plants then retract back, revealing the silver color of the logo; this version looks slightly (but also noticeably) different than the other trailers of the past. The logo zooms back as the copyright info fades in on the bottom. | '''Visuals:''' The sequence starts out with an octagon shape figure rising out of a {{color|silver}} surface (à la a ripple effect), and forms into another figure, which looks like petals from a flower (it in fact is a {{color|steelblue|blue}} passion flower) because we're looking at it from the top.

'''Trivia:''' | |||
* This trailer was chosen by THX themselves as the final test on both the THX Optimizer video on THX-certified TiVo DVRs and on the ''THX Calibrator'' disc. | |||
* On both DVD and Blu-ray releases of ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'', this trailer bizarrely plastered the [[Warner Home Video]] logo. This, along with the earliest DVD release of ''Terminator 2'' from 1997 are the rare occasions where a THX trailer would play before the menu. | |||
'''Variant:''' On the <u>2008 DVD of ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull''</u> (and the 2008 DVD reprints of the other three ''Indiana Jones'' films), the Japanese BD of ''The Magic Hour'', and the ''Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy'', this logo is formatted in 2.35:1 as compared to most other releases (2008 BD of ''Crystal Skull'', ''Avatar'', etc.) containing the trailer in 1.78:1. | '''Variant:''' On the <u>2008 DVD of ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull''</u> (and the 2008 DVD reprints of the other three ''Indiana Jones'' films), the Japanese BD of ''The Magic Hour'', and the ''Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy'', this logo is formatted in 2.35:1 as compared to most other releases (2008 BD of ''Crystal Skull'', ''Avatar'', etc.) containing the trailer in 1.78:1. | ||

'''Audio:''' A variety of instruments playing in sync with each plant, performed by Low in the Sky. This ends with a less noisy version of the Deep Note, accompanied by the swoosh. Unlike the previous THX trailers, the music starts at the ending note (blended into the background instrumentation at first) and comes to a quick end rather than fading out smoothly. Mixed by Gary A. Rizzo at Skywalker Sound. | '''Audio:''' A variety of instruments playing in sync with each plant, performed by Low in the Sky.
