[QUOTE="Captain B. Zarre, post: 118515, member: 2355"] "So the Cars DVD came out yesterday, and Jon was delighted to watch it, until the dreaded THX logo came up. Sigh. Jon used to have no problem with the THX logo and creepy sound on video. But come his first trip to the movie theatre and, with his anxiety already high, they had one of the jokier versions where the little man adds a cow “moooo” toy to the logo, making it sound like an entire herd. Jon’s vision (much more limited back then) shut down, and the surround-sound lowing made him want to join the stampede. Since then he’s been able to tolerate it in the theatres, but he goes wide-eyed and avoids certain Pixar movies in his DVD collection because of the brief appearance of the logo at the beginning. (The earlier DVD’s also made it so you couldn’t chapter skip from it)." I'm guessing none of you know what I'm talking about. In case, THX is a sound system that was devised by Lucasfilm, the creators of Star Wars. Not only are they famous for making sounds crisp and occasionally loud (Terminator 2 provides a great example), but they are famous for their logo. (Go ahead; turn this the loudest you can.

The Amazing Life trailer that was released 5 years ago instead aims at an orchestra of plants, creating a very musical medley that ends up turning into the latter part of the THX note. And Cimarron focused a lot more on being epic then scary... Although there is an "original" cut of it that's as scary, in terms of somberness.
