It then crossfades to the front of the fictional Springfield Aztec Theatre, complete with a film marquee displaying the text "SISKEL & EBERT: THE MOVIE" and "TWO THUMBS UP" - SISKEL & EBERT" below it (referencing the TV series ''Siskel & Ebert'' [later ''At the Movies''] hosted by movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert). The screen then cuts to many ''Simpsons'' characters in theater seats, including Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Abe (Grampa) Simpson. The light dims and then brightens a bit. 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 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 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 scene then cuts to Grampa (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) who, with his hand cupped to his ear, yells "Turn it up! TURN IT UP!". | ||
'''Variant:''' Compared to the scene from the original episode, the pacing of the trailer is slightly 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 slightly slower to fit in with the full version of the Deep Note.

*Also, if one listens closely just as the Deep Note starts playing up to when the logo is formed, one can almost hear the Deep Note used in the "Broadway 2000" trailer being mixed together, meaning that this version of it was originally going to be included in this trailer, similar to the ''Terminator 2'' variant. | *Also, if one listens closely just as the Deep Note starts playing up to when the logo is formed, one can almost hear the Deep Note used in the "Broadway 2000" trailer being mixed together, meaning that this version of it was originally going to be included in this trailer, similar to the ''Terminator 2'' variant. | ||
