Then, we fade to the 2010 version of the THX Broadway logo as we see the Troll Face flying around, as the background turns to a different colour of a flashing rainbow. Then, the logo fades out and about 1 minute later, a screamer pops out of nowhere and scares the audience as the screen shatters to glass.

Trailer: The THX logo starts up like any other, but just as the Deep Note is about to get loud, the logo suddenly crashes down revealing SpongeBob, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, Squidward and Patrick creating the Deep Note with many instruments (consisting of SpongeBob on Electric Guitar, Sandy on Banjo, Mr. Krabs on Accordion, Squidward on clarinet, and Patrick on Drums) They all look at the screen, (with Sandy quietly murmuring "Uh-oh!") before looking at each other and smiling awkwardly as they raise the logo (apparently made out of cardboard) up. The Deep Note starts again (albeit less louder than before) and the THX logo shimmers in Yellow from left to right. While the Deep Note is playing, Patrick comes out and plays a kazoo over the last few seconds. SpongeBob yells "Patrick!" at him, and as Patrick mutters "Okay, okay!

33rd Trailer
(1999)
Nicknames: "The Simpsons" “Burns' Heir”
Trailer: 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). We then cut 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 we cut 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, we cut back to the screen as the audience cheers for the logo. The theatre screen fades to black and we then cut to Grampa (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) who, presumably hard of hearing, yells "Turn it up! TURN IT UP!".
FX/SFX: Cel animation by Film Roman, with Anivision helping with the reanimated variant.
Audio: The atmosphere, Grampa's dialogue, and the Deep Note. In the original scene, car horns are heard before the Deep Note.
Music/Sounds: Same as the original logo, but like said above, it's the VHS pitch.

Nicknames: "Johnny Test" “Johnny, Dukey, Susan and Mary fixing the THX logo”
The THX logo fades in as it usually would with the Deep Note from the THX Broadway DVD (Digitally Mastered) trailer, but the THX logo sputters and then breaks down as if due to an electrical failure. A light is switched on as Johnny Test (voiced by James Arnold Taylor), Susan Test (voiced by Maryke Hendrikse), Mary Test (voiced by Ashleigh Ball), Hugh Test (voiced by Ian James Corlett), Lila Test (voiced by Kathleen Barr), and Dukey (voiced by Louis Chirillo) (from Johnny Test) walks in from off-camera.

Johnny opens the hatch on the X and grabs the Amazing Turbo Action Backpack, and flies off screen, pulling out a hammer just before he goes off screen, Johnny says "Geroniwonga!". Johnny hammers at something on the right side of the screen, drills at something on the left side, he starts to saw, hits something, and yells "Ow! That really hurts!". Hugh answers THX stands for. Lila tells Hugh that makes no sense, and asks Susan and Mary what THX stands for. Dukey asks Susan and Mary a question and Susan and Mary answers “Tomlinson Holman’s eXperiment”. Hugh tells Susan and Mary that Johnny is done fixing. Johnny flies in front of Susan, Mary, Hugh, Lila and Dukey. Johnny walks to between the "T" and the "H", bumps the "H" out of the way, and opens another panel inside the "T". He moves a large switch inside it, causing the THX logo to re-activate and complete its usual sequence as the background fades back to black. Susan and Mary says “Well, our work here is done now”, and Dukey says “Uh, Johnny. You forgot to close the hatch”, Johnny notices that the panel in the "X" is still open and kicks the logo, which closes it and Johnny says "This should do the trick". A black screen falls, reading "The Audience Is Listening".

Nicknames: "Adventure Time" “Finn and Jake fixing the THX logo”
The THX logo appears on a pitch-black background as it usually would with the Deep Note from the THX Broadway DVD (Digitally Mastered) trailer, but the THX logo sputters and then breaks down as if due to an electrical failure. A light is switched on as Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio) (from Adventure Time) walks in from off-camera. Finn says "Oh snap! This thing breaks down, it's like Snorelock breaks our treehouse. But I wonder if the hammer can fix it?", Jake says "Finn, it's in the hatch on the X right here", and Finn says "Ah. Thanks, Jake". Finn opens the hatch on the X and Jake stretches into a jetpack, and flies off screen, pulling out a mallet just before he goes off screen, Finn says "Shmow-zow!". Finn hammers at something on the right side of the screen, Jake drills at something on the left side. Jake flies in the ground and shape-shifts back to normal, Finn walks to between the "T" and the "H", bumps the "H" out of the way, and opens another panel inside the "T". He moves a large switch inside it, causing the THX logo to re-activate and complete its usual sequence as the background fades back to black. Finn says “Well, our work here is done”, and Jake says “Uh, Finn. You forgot to close the hatch”, Finn notices that the panel in the "X" is still open and kicks the logo, which closes it and Finn says "There you go".

36th Trailer
(2016-)
Nicknames: "The Loud House" “Lincoln Loud plugs the Moo Can on the THX logo”
We see a gray, lifeless THX logo. Lincoln Loud (voiced by Collin Dean) (from The Loud House) drops down from the top of the screen, landing towards the front of the camera. He has a can in his hand which has a picture of a cow on a field and says "moo" (which is in a bubble cloud, as if the cow were saying it) and he holds it closer to show us. Lincoln flips it over, realizing the can is empty and says "Dang it! I always lose that!" He runs to the THX logo in the background, opens a hatch in the X, and then pulls out a cable from it. He then returns with the "moo can" and holds the cable up with his opposite hand, revealing it to have a plug, and attaches it to the can. Lincoln looks around for a few seconds as we hear the sound of cows mooing. Then, the THX logo turns silver as "Lucasfilm Ltd." fades in above it and starts to rise up from the middle of the screen to its usual position nearly at the top and shines. Lincoln smiles and nods seemingly in accomplishment when suddenly the THX logo begins to rumble and shake. Lincoln sees this, jumps back in surprise and he nervously runs away with the can and the plug. The THX logo jolts to its left side for a moment before going back to its normal position. The cable is pulled back into the logo, the hatch closes and like the last trailer, the black screen with the text "The Audience is Listening" falls to the screen.
Variants:
- A scope version of the trailer (like the theatrical release of Alien Resurrection, as well with the DVDs of THX Picture and Sound Optimizer, the THX Theatrical Trailers: The Audience is Listening and the French-exclusive Les Années Laser THX Trailers DVDs, the French (2 disc) Ultimate Edition DVD release of The Transporter (Le Transporteur) and the THX Demo Disc II) exists. This can be found on the theatrical release, and the Blu-Ray release of The Loud House: The First Movie.
- A fullscreen version of the trailer exists (the entire trailer is letterboxed (like the DVDs of Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box, DVD Demystified, Pixar's Made in Port Richmond DVD, and the VHS release of Monsters, Inc. except for the "Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performance" message from the Broadway trailer appears in the beginning, which is in fullscreen). This can be found on the DVD release of The Loud House: Road Tripped! The Complete Third Season. (as seen on Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition, Finding Nemo (Disc 1), Speed 2: Cruise Control, The Day The Earth Stood Still, DVD Demystified)
FX/SFX: The trailer is in CGI by Pixar Animation Studios, while Lincoln Loud from The Loud House is animated with 2D traditional hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom Harmony by Jam Filled Entertainment, Canada/Nickelodeon Animation Studios.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous trailer, except the Deep Note is replaced by cows mooing it (if you really listen carefully, a high pitched voice is heard towards the end of the mooing, which sounds like someone yelling "STOP!" before the sound of rumbling and cracking). Lincoln Loud's dialogue from The Loud House was recorded at Nickelodeon Animation Studios, and the sound design is by Gary Rydstrom and Marco d'Ambrosio (who did the cow chord) according to The THX Ultimate Demo Disc, Jeff Shiffman at Boom Box Post and Robert Duran at Advantage Audio, Inc. for the fairy wands from The Fairly OddParents.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On the DVD release of The Loud House: Road Tripped! The Complete Third Season that feature this trailer (like the aforementioned Monsters, Inc. VHS, Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box DVD and the version on the Made in Point Richmond DVD, as well as both versions on the discs from the second and third editions of DVD Demystified), the logo is slightly louder, more mooing sounds are added in, Lincoln's "Huh?" when he sees the THX logo that begins to rumble and shake was removed and the moo noise heard at the end is heard later.
Availability: It can be found on THX-certified theaters, such as the theatrical release of The Loud House: The First Movie. This was also seen on the original DVD release of The Loud House: Road Tripped! The Complete Third Season, and the Blu-Ray releases of The Loud House: The First Movie.
37th Trailer
(2010 - 2024)
Nicknames: "Robotomy, Thrasher and Blastus do THX" "This is how the Deep Note is done?!"
Description
The trailer starts with the THX logo fading in as the Deep Note is about to reach its peak, with the billboard it was on falling over, showing Blastus and Thrasher behind it, making all the sounds. An audible "Uh-oh..." can be heard as they look at each other than then bring the THX trailer back upright and continue the Deep Note, now with all of their instruments playing along with the synth notes and the logo shimmers blue As the Deep Note fades out, Blastus can be heard still playing his Flute, running on screen. Thrasher then scolds him and the two walk off the screen together.. The screen fades to black as the words "The Audience is Listening" on the top, a smaller THX logo in the middle, and copyright info on the bottom fade in all at once.
Trivia: The "Creative Technology" text above the THX logo is visible for a split second when Thrasher lifts it up. This is an editing mistake that made it to the final trailer, as this trailer was initially supposed to premiere in mid 2010 when THX was still part of Creative Technology
Variants:
- According to several moviegoers who saw the original 2013 version in theaters, a Dolby Surround 7.1 logo appeared on the bottom left on 70mm prints, while the 35mm print had a Dolby SR logo appear instead. Both would fade in at the same time as the Creative Technology byline. When the logo's soundtrack was replaced in 2012, both logos were deleted, leaving that area blank. The Dolby Surround 7.1 logo appearing on the 70mm print uses 70 mm film run through the projector horizontally when confirmed when footage of the trailer from 2011 was using The IMAX film standard and some other selected theaters
- In 2014, the trailer was remixed in Dolby Digital. This variant had slight changes. At the start, the Dolby logo and text reading "Dolby Digital Sound In A THX Certified cinemas" fade in on a black screen before the whole thing animates as usual. At the end, the "Recorded in Dolby Digital" logo fades in with the byline at the bottom-left of the screen. It appears this was layered on to the existing film, as the logo shakes differently than the rest of the visuals. and the the bottom- Right of the screen there Sony Dynamic Digital Sound in Select Theaters logo
- In 2019, when Razer joined THX, the trailer The Razer version exists on the THX Ultimate Cinema. Here, it's mostly the same, except the "SOUND SYSTEM" text isn't present and the "THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING" text is replaced with ".See you on the other side" This also occurs on the next trailer as well.
- In 2023 The trailer debuted on THX's YouTube channel as a demo of the THX Spatial Audio technology. Spatial Audio ", in its corporative 2-D font, fades in and slides up to the top at the same time as the THX logo. When the THX logo rumbles, the Spatial Audio Headphones logo rumbles at the same time as the THX logo, and the black screen instead shows the THX Spatial Audio logo, with the tagline reading "sound technology that users at the center of the action when using headphones. Ultimately providing a more true-to-life sound experience.
FX/SFX: The trailer itself, and the animation involving Thrasher and Blastus. CGI by RenderMan/Cartoon Network Studios, World Leaders Entertainment and the THX logo is also CGI by Pixar Animation Studios
Music/Sounds: The Deep Note (the descending part at first with it falling over), the instruments, and the dialogue. Blastus saying "Uh-oh...", Thrasher whispering "Blastus!", and Blastuss response: "Okay, okay! Chill, Thrasher." (Patton Oswalt and John Gemberling reprise their respective roles as Thrasher and Blastus from the film.
Availability: .This was initially supposed to premiere on June 18, 2010, the date of Robotomy's DVD and Blu ray release, but was pulled at the last second. It was theorized that Disney threatened to cut ties with THX over the trailer since this was the same day their film .Toy Story 3 opened in theaters at THX-certified cinemas, and appeared in theaters since. It's also on the movie's DVD and Blu-Ray releases.(Disney has denied this), but THX themselves stated it was due to not wanting to be associated with a specific film. It eventually debuted online in 2016 to promote Storks (film) 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.
Editor's Note: Another humorous effort from THX.

(2021)
Nicknames: "The Loud House Movie" "Lincoln and Luna do THX" "This is how the Deep Note is done?!"
Trailer: The THX logo starts up like any other, but just as the Deep Note from the THX Broadway DVD (Digitally Mastered) trailer is about to get loud, the logo suddenly crashes down revealing Lincoln Loud (voiced by Tex Hammond) and Luna Loud (voiced by Nika Futterman) creating the Deep Note with many instruments. The two look at the screen (with Luna also nervously saying "Uh-oh..."), before looking at each other and smiling awkwardly as they raise the logo (apparently made out of cardboard) up. The Deep Note starts again (albeit less louder than before) and the logo shimmers in silver from left to right. While the Deep Note is playing, Luna comes out and plays bagpipes over the last few seconds. Lincoln yells "Luna!" at her, and as Luna mutters "Okay, okay! Chill, Lincoln..." the two walk off-screen. The screen fades to black as the words "illuminate your senses" fades in on the top and shines, a smaller THX logo in the middle, and copyright info on the bottom.
Trivia: The "LUCASFILM LTD" text (from the Broadway trailer, including the Buena Vista variants from 1997-2003) above the THX logo is visible for a split second when Lincoln lifts it up, due to an editing mistake.
FX/SFX: The trailer itself, the THX logo (as seen on the "Tex" trailer) in CGI by Pixar Animation Studios, and the animation involving Lincoln and Luna. Animated with 2D hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom Harmony by Jam Filled Entertainment, Canada/Nickelodeon Animation Studios, of course.

(2017)
Nicknames: "The Loud House: The First Movie" “Lincoln Loud fixing the THX logo”
A metallic version of the THX logo appears on screen with the -1.5 (C#) Deep Note from the THX Broadway DVD (Digitally Mastered) trailer. At the climax of the Deep Note, the logo begins to short-circuit, and spontaneously breaks before falling down and losing its metallic shine. A blue light in the surrounding room turns on, and then Lincoln Loud (voiced by Collin Dean) comes into view, observing and wondering what happened to the logo. Lincoln jumps on the logo, and opens the door on the X, and grabs a hammer. He dashes off, and Lincoln begins to run around the logo, saying "Let's do this!" (which is said from each episode of The Loud House). He holds a hammer from his hand, and then runs northwest, going off-screen. Hammering sounds can be heard in the distance, followed by the sound of a drill. Lincoln's shadow then appears briefly as Lincoln flies west, once again going off-screen, and more drilling sounds can be heard. Lincoln then walks into view as he lands on the logo, and pushes the H to the side. He then opens up a compartment in the T, revealing a lever inside. Lincoln pulls the lever, which causes the Deep Note to abruptly return, and the logo to go back in place as Lincoln closes the compartment and the room to darken until it becomes pitch black again. Lincoln goes to the side as the THX logo shines from left to right, also shining the X's door in the process. Lincoln, seeing this, kicks the bottom of the logo, which causes the door to close. A black screen falls, reading "The Audience is Listening".
FX/SFX: The trailer is in CGI by Pixar Animation Studios, while Lincoln Loud from The Loud House is animated with 2D hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom Harmony by Jam Filled Entertainment, Canada/Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

40th Trailer
(2010-2015)
Nicknames: "T.U.F.F. Puppy" “Dudley Puppy fixing the THX logo”
A metallic version of the THX logo appears on screen with the -1.5 (C#) Deep Note from the THX Broadway DVD (Digitally Mastered) trailer. At the climax of the Deep Note, the logo begins to short-circuit, and spontaneously breaks before falling down and losing its metallic shine. A blue light in the surrounding room turns on, and then the super secret T.U.F.F. agent Dudley Puppy (voiced by iCarly's Jerry Trainor) comes into view, observing and wondering what happened to the logo. Dudley jumps on the logo, and opens the door on the X, and grabs a jetpack, and flies off screen, pulling out a mallet just before he goes off screen, Dudley says "Hi-gee-gee!". He holds a hammer from his hand, and then flies northwest, going off-screen. Hammering sounds can be heard in the distance, followed by the sound of a drill. Dudley's shadow then appears briefly as Agent Puppy flies west, once again going off-screen, and more drilling sounds can be heard. Dudley then flies into view as he lands on the logo, and pushes the H to the side. He then opens up a compartment in the T, revealing a lever inside. Dudley pulls the lever, which causes the Deep Note to abruptly return, and the logo to go back in place as Dudley closes the compartment and the room to darken until it becomes pitch black again. Dudley goes to the side as the THX logo shines from left to right, also shining the X's door in the process. Dudley, seeing this, kicks the bottom of the logo, which causes the door to close. A black screen falls, reading "The Audience is Listening".
FX/SFX: The trailer is in CGI by Pixar Animation Studios, while Dudley Puppy from T.U.F.F. Puppy is animated with 2D traditional hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom Harmony by Yeson Entertainment, Inc., South Korea/Nickelodeon Animation Studios.
Variants:

(implying that he hurt himself), muttering afterward and says "Darn it! I fall for that every time!". The rest of the trailer plays like normal, but the "Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performance" text appears at the beginning of the trailer, and lacks the "LUCASFILM LTD" and "SOUND SYSTEM" text on the THX logo at the end.
- On the 2018 Blu-Ray release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: The Movie, this trailer was remastered (as seen in the 2005 DVD of Toy Story 2 Special Edition, the 2006 DVD of Cars, and the 2007 North American DVD of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix), except here, the screen that reads "THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING" is intact.
- A "Digitally Mastered" version exists on the 2018 DVD release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: The Movie, the "Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performance" text at the beginning of the trailer, it's mostly the same from the 2000 DVD of Toy Story, except the initials "LUCASFILM LTD" and "SOUND SYSTEM" are replaced with "DIGITALLY MASTERED" appearing above and below the THX logo at the end.

41st Trailer
(2010-2015)
Nicknames: "T.U.F.F. Puppy" “Dudley Puppy plugs the Moo Can on the THX logo”
We see a gray, lifeless THX logo. A super secret T.U.F.F. agent Dudley Puppy (voiced by iCarly's Jerry Trainor) drops down from the top of the screen, landing towards the front of the camera. He has a can in his hand which has a picture of a cow on a field and says "moo" (which is in a bubble cloud, as if the cow were saying it) and he holds it closer to show us. Dudley flips it over, realizing the can is empty and says "Really should've read the manual." He flies to the THX logo in the background, opens a hatch in the X, and then pulls out a cable from it. He then returns with the "moo can" and holds the cable up with his opposite hand, revealing it to have a plug, and attaches it to the can. Dudley looks around for a few seconds as we hear the sound of cows mooing. Then, the THX logo turns silver as "Lucasfilm Ltd." fades in above it and starts to rise up from the middle of the screen to its usual position nearly at the top and shines. Dudley smiles and nods seemingly in accomplishment when suddenly the THX logo begins to rumble and shake. Dudley sees this, jumps back in surprise and panicked and he flies away with the can and the plug. The THX logo jolts to its left side for a moment before going back to its normal position. The cable is pulled back into the logo, the hatch closes and like the last trailer, the black screen with the text "The Audience is Listening" falls to the screen.
FX/SFX: The trailer is in CGI by Pixar Animation Studios, while Dudley Puppy from T.U.F.F. Puppy is animated with 2D traditional hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom Harmony by Yeson Entertainment, South Korea/Nickelodeon Animation Studios.
Variants:
- A scope version of the trailer (like the theatrical release of Alien Resurrection, as well with the DVDs of THX Picture and Sound Optimizer, the THX Theatrical Trailers: The Audience is Listening and the French-exclusive Les Années Laser THX Trailers DVDs, the French (2 disc) Ultimate Edition DVD release of The Transporter (Le Transporteur) and the THX Demo Disc II) exists. This can be found on the theatrical release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: The Movie.
- When Monster Cable joined THX, the trailer became slightly updated. After Dudley returns with the cable, the camera zooms in to reveal a Monster HDMI cable, which shines. Dudley's chuckle was also heard. The camera then zooms back, and when Dudley plugs it in, the graphics on the moo can change it into a Monster Moo Can via an electricity transition. "MONSTER", in its corporative 3-D font, fades in and slides up to the top at the same time as the THX logo. When the THX logo rumbles, the Monster Cable logo rumbles at the same time as the THX logo, and the black screen instead shows the Monster THX logo, with the tagline reading "Bringing the Theater Home" below it. The disclaimer is also changed during this variant.
- A fullscreen version of the flat trailer exists (the entire trailer is letterboxed (like the DVDs of Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box, Pixar's Made in Port Richmond, and Monsters, Inc. except for the "Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performance" message like in the VHS and DVD variant of the Broadway trailer at the beginning, which is in fullscreen). This can be found on the DVD release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: Season Two. (as seen on Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition, Finding Nemo, Speed 2: Cruise Control, The Day The Earth Stood Still, DVD Demystified)
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous trailer, except the Deep Note is replaced by cows mooing it (if you really listen carefully, a high pitched voice is heard towards the end of the mooing, which sounds like someone yelling "STOP!" before the sound of rumbling and cracking). The sound design is by Gary Rydstrom and Marco d'Ambrosio (who did the cow chord) according to The THX Ultimate Demo Disc, Dudley Puppy's dialogue was recorded at Nickelodeon Animation Studios, the sound design for the fairy wands was designed by Robert Duran and Robert Poole II at Advantage Audio.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On the DVD release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: Season Two that feature this trailer (like the aforementioned Monsters, Inc. VHS, Toy Story 2 Ultimate Toy Box DVD and the version on the Made in Point Richmond DVD, as well as both versions on the discs from the second and third editions of DVD Demystified), the logo is slightly louder, more mooing sounds are added in, Dudley's "Huh?" when he sees the THX logo that begins to rumble and shake was removed and the moo noise heard at the end is heard later.
Availability: It can be found on THX-certified theaters, such as the theatrical release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: The Movie and the DVD release of T.U.F.F. Puppy: Season Two.
42nd Trailer
(2021)
Nicknames: "The Loud House Movie"
Trailer: On a black background is an odd speck talking in a familiar voice to Lincoln Loud (from The Loud House; voiced by Tex Hammond). It turns out to be Morag (voiced by Michelle Gomez), the Duchess of Loch Loud in Scotland, trying to hear him:
Lincoln: "Come in, Morag. Can you hear me?"
Morag: "Uh, not quite!"
Lincoln: "How about now? Is this better?"
Morag: "Ye-yeah... Yeah, sort of."
Lincoln: "Hello? Am I getting through?"
Morag: "Kinda losing you..."
Then, immediately after Morag says the last line, Lincoln quickly drops the THX logo, startling her. Lincoln then appears on the right side of the screen shouting "HOW ABOUT THIS?! IF I GET UP REAL CLOSE, CAN YOU READ ME?!" knocking Morag off-screen, then followed by the Deep Note from the THX Broadway DVD (Digitally Mastered) trailer. Lincoln turns to the audience laughing, winks, and then goes off-screen. The THX logo shines as usual. The screen transitions to a message reading "THE AUDIENCE IS LOUDING" (spoofing the usual "The Audience is Listening" tagline, with "LOUD" in the same font as show's logo). Finally, Morag peeks out of the left side of the screen.
FX/SFX: The characters moving, and the THX logo dropping. The THX logo (as seen in the "Tex" trailer) in CGI by Pixar Animation Studios, while Lincoln and Morag are animated with 2D traditional hand-drawn animation in Toon Boom Harmony by Jam Filled Entertainment, Canada/Nickelodeon Animation Studios
Music/Sounds: The characters talking, sound effects corresponding to the animation, and the -1.5/low-pitched Deep Note from Broadway (DVD variant) and Tex trailers.
Availability: It was only seen in THX-certified theaters to help promote The Loud House Movie, and also appeared in front of the film itself in said theaters. Also seen on the THX website.
