*** Which oddly brought the song full-circle, as "Aquarela do Brazil" (Portuguese for "Watercolor of Brazil") debuted in an early Disney feature, "Saludos Amigos", where [[Donald Duck]] meets Brazilian parrot Jose Carioca.
*** The reason for its use in the WALL-E teaser trailer: Michael Kamen, who did the music for Gilliam's "Brazil," was originally going to score WALL-E. But then he died. And people were sad. And then Thomas Newman came to the rescue. And everyone was happy again. The end.
* The choral bit called "O Verona" from Baz Luhrmann's ''~[[William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet~]]'' sounds a bit like Carmina Burana and gets used a lot. I remember it being used in the trailer for the original ''[[The X-Files]]'' movie, certainly.
* ''[[Edward Scissorhands]]'' - [[Danny Elfman]] said, as part of a commentary track for the DVD, that every now and again his friends will call up and say "Edward's back!" when some trailer uses that music. It's also frequently imitated in ads for other companies - indeed, if ''any'' ad's BGM involves an slightly spooky choir, it's probably an imitation of this score.
** Elfman's title music for ''Beetlejuice'' is also heard frequently in trailers for kid's movies.
