Lost THX Tex Trailer: A Universal Animation Boxset

Warning: This story contains graphic violence that might not be suitable for children. Viewer discretion is advised.

I was still knocked out at the movie theater after Tex had tried to kill me. DaveAlt1995 and Toppy saw me as they were walking by, and rushed to help me. I woke up and saw them.

"Dave?! Toppy?! Is that you?!" I said.

"Of course it's us, Kadin," said Toppy.

"STOP!" I yelled, still paranoid about the hallucinations that Tex made me see. "TELL ME SOMETHING ONLY YOU TWO WOULD KNOW!"

"OK, only we would know," said Dave. "Remember that time we were at your work?"

"Dave and I both got Monster Thickburgers with four patties?" said Toppy. "You saw us eat the whole thing in one sitting. You said that we were like snakes."

"OK! Stop! Stop! It's you guys," I said, wrapping them both in a bear hug. "I've never been so happy to see anyone in my life. Especially you, Dave. Tex and I thought you died after watching the Sprout boxset."

"Nope," said Dave. "I was dropped off at this exact movie theater during that day. Tex knocked me out with a baseball bat on the way home from work, made me watch the Warner Animation boxset, and then made me see the exact same things you saw."

"I was in your exact position, too," added Toppy. "I kept calling Tex weird for killing animated characters, because it is. Then, he knocked me out, made me watch the Warner Animation boxset, and made me see the exact same things you saw as well."

At that moment, we noticed that yet another boxset was next to us. This time, it was for Universal Animation and the characters on it included Curious George, The Man With the Yellow Hat, Little Foot, Balto, The Little Engine that Could, Wilbur, Charlotte, and Mariah Carey. We also noticed that the boxset had a label this time: "Play me in the theater if you want your answers."

"I don't want to watch another one of these again," I said. "We gotta do what we should've done with our boxsets we discovered a long time ago: We need to destroy it before it traumatizes us. I'm sorry I dragged you two into this mess, but this boxset has to go."

Just as I was about to smash the boxset with my foot, Toppy stopped me.

"These boxsets have affected me just as much as it did you, Kadin," said Toppy.

"I lost my girlfriend, because of these boxsets," said Dave. "Tex killed her. I couldn't stop him. I'm never going to forgive myself for that. I tried going on and being the strong man she would want me to be. But eventually, my fear of THX got the better of me. At the time of watching the Sprout boxset, I got bitter and rageful. I don't want you to end up like me."

"When my uncle was sick," said Toppy. "I knew for sure that Tex had done something to him. I wanted to kill him. I almost did the day he captured me. But I stopped myself, because I knew that if I killed him, I would be no better than him. It took me a long time to get past that darkness. If we watch this boxset, we might have our answers. In the end, maybe we could save the world from Tex."

"You're right," I said, perking up. "Let's watch this boxset! Toppy, Dave, are you guys ready to save the world?!"

"YES!" they both said.

"Good," I said. "Somebody get me some popcorn, a soda, and a pizza!"

All three of us walked into the movie theater, ready to watch this trailer and get our answers, so we could save the world from Tex. Dave got the snacks, Toppy broke into the DVD room to play the film on the big screen, and I had a whole new sense of pride and confidence in myself. As soon as everyone sat down, a warning popped up, reading:

"Warning: The following trailer was made to promote Happy Deathday, despite that film not being THX certified. This trailer also has graphic violence. Viewer discretion is advised."

"Get ready, Tex," I said. "We're coming for you."

Something different happened from all of the other boxsets that we've seen. This trailer opened with the THX headquarters. Tex was signing autographs, telling jokes, laughing with guests, playing games with them. He was happy. Then, a young lady, looking to be about 13 years old, walked up to him.

"Hello, young lady," said Tex. "What is your name?"

"Teresa," said the girl. "I've always had a crush on you, Tex. How about we go on a date?"

"Sure thing," said Tex.

A montage of Teresa and Tex going on dates started playing, with the song, Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, playing in the background. These dates weren't anything special: They were things like going out to dinner, going to a concert, having a picnic in the park. You know, stuff that mostly all couples do. We cried a little bit as we watched this scene, because it was just so sweet and unlike the Tex we have seen in the trailers that we encountered. But that feeling wouldn't last long.

It cut to the day that Tex became evil. Teresa came to see Tex before the headquarters opened.

"Tex, you are gonna be a dad," said Teresa. "I'm pregnant."

"That's great news, Teresa!" said Tex, excited. "I will be the best dad I can be. I'll see you after work."

Teresa left and Tex went about his usual business, entertaining the guests. Then, he saw a crying child at the front entrance. He decided to wait a second to try and cheer them up. But as soon as the child entered the room, he screamed as he saw Tex.

Then, the screen went to black and the sound of screaming, gun shots, sirens, and slicing could be heard. But the trailer wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of the city from Curious George. The Man with the Yellow Hat and George the Monkey were on their way to the museum for another long day of work. But as soon as they got to the museum entrance, Tex was there, waiting for them.

"Hello, yellow boy and his pet," said Tex. "I was wondering if you could show me where the T-Rex exhibit was."

"Sure thing," said the Man with The Yellow Hat. "But please don't kill us. We have friends throughout the entire multiverse who texted us about you."

"Don't worry," said Tex. "I'm only gonna see the exhibit and go."

Tex, George, and The Man with The Yellow Hat walked all the way to the T-Rex exhibit. Toppy, Dave, and I knew that there would be no observation by Tex done here. But we kept watching.

"Well, here it is," said the Man with The Yellow Hat. "You know, the T-Rex was one of the most vicious killers in all the land. Think of him as a prehistoric Tex, if you will."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," said Tex. "Go under it quickly. I want to take a picture for my Instagram page."

The Man with The Yellow Hat and George went all the way under the T-Rex exhibit and posed. But at that moment, Tex pulled out a rocket launcher.

"Just kidding!" yelled Tex. "TIME TO SAY CHEESE TO THE VICIOUS TYRANNOSAURUS TEX!"

Tex shot the rocket launcher at the exhibit, causing it to fall right on top of George and The Man with The Yellow Hat. They screamed as they were crushed to death by the bones.

But the trailer still wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of the farm from Charlotte's Web. Wilbur the Pig, Templeton the Rat, The Goose, The Ram, and the other animals were gathered around a trough, eating dinner. Wilbur began to speak:

"OK guys. The farmer got a text on his phone from someone in the multiverse that there is a crazy robot out and about that is killing innocent people and other characters. He can track fear of THX through a tracker that he made. But don't be scared. That psychopath doesn't even know where this farm..."

Wilbur was interrupted by Tex, dropping into the barn. Everyone gasped as they saw the robot.

"Hello, farm animals," said Tex. "I came here to kill you, here on this farm."

At that moment, Charlotte the Spider emerged to see what was going on. But Tex pulled out a can of bug spray and sprayed her with it, killing her instantly.

"Her web-spinning was super annoying," said Tex as he pulled out a flamethrower. "NOW TIME TO HAVE A HUGE MEAT DINNER WITH THE T-MAN!"

Tex used the flamethrower to burn the whole farm, with everyone in it down to the ground. Everyone screamed as they were burned to a crisp. Then, Tex cut Wilbur up and ate him.

"MMMM," said Tex, after he finished eating Wilbur. "I love me some smoked bacon and ham. That was "Some Pig" I ate."

Then, Tex flew away. But the trailer still wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of the Land Before Time. Little Foot, Cera, Spike, Ducky, and Petrie were eating some greens in the forest. But watching from on top of a volcano was Tex ad he had a pumpkin bomb, ready to go. Tex laughed evilly, causing the gang to look around.

"Um, guys," said Cera, worried. "Do you get the feeling that someone is watching us?"

At that moment, Petrie screamed, while staring at the volcano. The gang rushed over to see what was going on.

"What's going on, Petrie?" asked Little Foot.

"There is a robot on that volcano," said Petrie.

The gang gasped as they saw Tex, on the volcano, ready to throw the pumpkin bomb in it.

"Hello, dinos," said Tex. "No one is here to save you from the big explosion."

"RUN!!!!!" yelled Little Foot.

'The gang ran to find a place to hide from the explosion, as Tex threw the pumpkin bomb into the volcano, causing it to explode and flood the land with lava. The gang screamed as they met their demise. But the trailer still wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of the winter forest in Canada. Balto was running like the wind, trying to get the medicine delivered. When all of a sudden, Tex ran after him, riding a bear, and I mean a fierce bear.

"Hello, doctor dog," said Tex.

"You do realize doctor dog is a compliment, right?" said Balto. "Also, I heard about what you did to those people. I will have you mauled by the dogs all over the forest."

"Nice try," said Tex. "But that's not gonna happen. TIME TO BE MAULED BY A BEAR WITH THE T-MAN!"

The bear Tex was riding grabbed Balto and gobbled him up. Balto screamed as he was being consumed.

But the trailer still wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of some train tracks. The Little Engine that Could was delivering all of the toys and food to the little boys and girls in the city. All of a sudden, Tex flew next to the young train, holding a grenade.

"Hello, Little Engine," said Tex.

The Little Engine blew his whistle to try and scare Tex, as he was concentrating on the job at hand. At that moment, the clown came out to tell him off.

"Tex, you messed with people who didn't do anything for too long," said the clown. "Go away now!"

"I'm afraid that won't happen," said Tex. "Time to whip up a batch of Tex's Toast!"

Tex threw the grenade at the Little Engine, who blew up. Everyone inside screamed as they fell onto the train tracks. Then, an oncoming train sped up to them. But before the train could make contact with the toys, the screen cut to black.

But the trailer still wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of a church at night. Mariah Carey was singing in it. Apparently, she was warming up for a huge Christmas concert later tonight. At that moment, Tex popped up, holding the guitar from the Second Pixar Trailer and the Illumination trailer.

"Hello, songbird," said Tex. "Can I join in your concert?"

"Sure thing," said Mariah. "But don't hurt me. I heard a lot about you."

Everyone came into the church, ready for the concert. Mariah sang while Tex played his guitar. Then, he set his amp at full volume, plugged in his guitar, and yelled, "TIME FOR A ROCK CONCERT WITH SEXY TEXY!"

Tex played his guitar, causing everyone to scream and cover their ears. Dave and I also covered our ears. But Toppy was enjoying the little musical number, as he had always been a fan of rock music.

Anyways, Tex then hit Mariah on the head with his guitar, killing her instantly.

But the trailer still wasn't over yet.

It cut to a shot of the THX logo, with a cracked Universal globe next to it. Then, the deep note played. This time, the screams belonged to Little Foot, Mariah, Cera, The Little Engine, Balto, Wilbur, The Man With The Yellow Hat, and George. Then, after the deep note stopped, Tex popped down to give his speech:

"Hello, Universal fans! I'm back at it again, killing your favorite animated characters for disrespecting my company. I also gave you a look at my girlfriend, Teresa, and our new kid on the way. Remember: If you are scared of me, you're in to try some Tex's Toast. Sweet dreams!"

Tex flew away, laughing stupidly, as "The Audience is Listening" and "To be continued.." appeared on the screen. Then, the trailer ended.

We all had an epiphany at that point.

"Tex's girlfriend!" I said. "We need to go to her for more answers about Tex! Then, maybe we could save the world!"

"We're slowly getting more answers," said Toppy. "But I agree: Where does she live now?"

"According to her Instagram page, she should be near the old McDonald's," said Dave. "Let's go!"

Dave, Toppy. and I immediately started our journey to Teresa's house. She would be a huge help in our journey to save the world from Tex's wraith.
