Trailer Spoof: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* Nearly every trailer for the first ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' appeared to be a trailer for some other Disney movie at first, only to be interrupted by Stitch, partly to make it clear it was a lighter, wackier film than the company's usual output.

* One trailer appeared to be for the next [[James Bond]] movie, showing 007 onscreen. Then it turned upside down and pulled back, revealing ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]''.

* The 2011 ''[[Winnie the Pooh (Disney film)|Winnie The Pooh]]'' movie came out the same weekend as ''[[~~Harry Potter (film)|~~Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', and thus some Pooh ads started out with lighting text on a cloudy sky (like the Harry Potter movies) with taglines such as "Get ready for the final battle" and "How do you spell adventure?"...with cuts to Pooh running from bees and inverting a set of blocks from "[[Take That|POTR]]" to "POOH". However, in some cases, they have already shown the Walt Disney logo, which somewhat ruins the effect

* A trailer for the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' ~~[[Live Action Adaptation~~]] pretended to be for a ''[[Batman]]'' movie—until the silhouette that looked like Batman turned out to be Scooby. Supposedly, a lot of ''Batman'' fans were pissed.

* A trailer for the [[Scooby-Doo (film)|first live-action ''Scooby-Doo'' film]] pretended to be for a ''[[Batman]]'' movie—until the silhouette that looked like Batman turned out to be Scooby. Supposedly, a lot of ''Batman'' fans were pissed.

* ''[[Austin Powers]]'':

** The second movie came out the same year as ''[[Star Wars|The Phantom Menace]]'' and had a trailer that started by going through the Death Star with Darth Vader breathing in the background while closing in on a chair... until the [[Chair Reveal]] has Dr. Evil sitting in it. After that, the trailer goes in more typical Austin Powers style, including the narrator saying "If you see one movie this summer... see ''Star Wars''. But if you see two, then see ''Austin Powers: The Spy That Shagged Me!''" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65LjJMqHkoc Youtube link]

** A trailer for ''Austin Powers in Goldmember'' began in a manner similar to the opening credits of ''[[Goldfinger]]''. Which in turn led MGM to sue New Line for copyright infringement. The suit was settled and in exchange, the trailer to ''[[Die Another Day]]'' was attached to all prints of ''Goldmember''.

* The trailer for ''[[Notting Hill]]'' tried the same device against ''Austin Powers''. It didn't quite work.
