Lost THX "Tex" Trailer: A Walt Disney DVD Boxset (1980's Edition)

You probably remember SJ425A's encounter with the THX boxset involving Disney characters from the 2000's getting killed by Tex. If not, that's totally fine. Anyways, I'm here to tell you a story about a boxset similar to the one I just talked about, but this one involved Disney movies from the 1980's. Here is my story.

It was a Tuesday afternoon. I was at Grocery Outlet helping my grandmother with some shopping. After we finished shopping, we headed out of the store. Before I got back into the car, I stepped on a box that had no name on it. Looking at this box gave me flashbacks of when I saw those THX boxsets and lost THX trailer DVD's.

But since it had no name on it, I took it home to see what this box was anyway. When we got home, my grandma and I sorted out the groceries and I went to put the groceries I bought for myself in the cupboards of the kitchen. As soon as I finished that, I took the box and began opening it. When I finished opening up the box, my theory was correct. It was a THX boxset as I told you.

The cover consisted of Tod, Taran, Princess Eilonwy, Basil, Oliver and Ariel in a red background.

The boxset was titled "Walt Disney: The Ultimate THX Collection (1980's Edition)".

"Looks good. But 5 of the movies excluding The Little Mermaid are not THX certified." I muttered.

However, the 1998 VHS release of The Little Mermaid had the THX logo on it. I took out the movies in the boxset which included The Fox And The Hound, The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver & Company and The Little Mermaid. And as expected, there was an extra DVD in the boxset.

The cover looked rather disappointing as there were no characters in gray colored boxes unlike those other rare THX DVD's. The DVD was titled, "The Rare THX Trailer Made By Walt Disney (1980's Edition)"

The DVD had an E rating which left me in confusion. "Aren't these movies usually rated G and PG?" I asked myself. To get rid of my confusion, I decided to watch this trailer to see what this was about. Before inserting the DVD, I made myself a bowl of barbecue chips and a glass of apple juice. I then inserted the DVD into the DVD player and sat back. It opened with the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo and went straight to a language menu.

The background was in a red background, but not the same red background from that THX Pixar trailer that Rohan encountered. The languages that it wanted me to select were English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese and Italian. I selected English because that's what I choose to watch stuff in. I then got to the menu. It depicted each of the characters in a line, however, Oliver was on top of the title of the trailer. The options were exactly the same as all those other trailers.

I hit Play on the DVD menu and it showed (once again) a warning.

"This lost THX trailer was made all the way back in 2003 for the release of "Wrong Turn" despite not being THX certified. It contains disturbing scenes that are to not be seen by children. Watch at your own risk!"

"Well shit!" I muttered.

The trailer opened with a shot of Widow Tweed's house at noon. Tod was seen walking outside until he heard Copper calling him. So he went over to Copper and they had a chat.

"Glad you're here Tod. Listen, they say that a robot has been going around killing literally everyone. The only reason the robot is doing it is because he thinks that they disrespect his company. We gotta do something!" Copper said.

"Who would kill someone just because of a company?" Tod asked.

"I don't know. The way I heard about it was from somebody in a forest." Copper replied.

Out of nowhere, Tex could be heard evilly laughing.

"Did you hear that?" Tod asked.

"Yes, that must be the robot." Copper replied once more.
