OP stolen from the last thread - I will try and come up with a better one later.
And some actual Trailers:

The first trailer shown in an American film theater was in November 1913, when Nils Granlund, the advertising manager for the Marcus Loew theater chain, produced a short promotional film for the musical The Pleasure Seekers, opening at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway. As reported in a wire service story carried by the Lincoln, Nebraska Daily Star, the practice which Loew adopted was described as "an entirely new and unique stunt", and that "moving pictures of the rehearsals and other incidents connected with the production will be sent out in advance of the show, to be presented to the Loew’s picture houses and will take the place of much of the bill board advertising".[3] Granlund was also first to introduce trailer material for an upcoming motion picture, using a slide technique to promote an upcoming film featuring Charlie Chaplin at Loew's Seventh Avenue Theatre in Harlem in 1914.
Trailers were initially shown after, or "trailing", the feature film, and this led to their being called "trailers". The practice was found to be somewhat ineffective, often ignored by audiences who left immediately after the feature. Later, exhibitors changed their practice so that trailers were only one part of the film program, which included cartoon shorts, newsreels, and serial adventure episodes. Today, more elaborate trailers and commercial advertisements have largely replaced other forms of pre-feature entertainment, and in major multiplex chains, about the first 20 minutes after the posted showtime is devoted to trailers.[citation needed]
Up until the late 1950s, trailers were mostly created by National Screen Service and consisted of various key scenes from the film being advertised, often augmented with large, descriptive text describing the story, and an underscore generally pulled from studio music libraries. Most trailers had some form of narration, and those that did featured stentorian voices.[citation needed]
In the early 1960s, the face of motion picture trailers changed. Textless, montage trailers and quick-editing became popular, largely due to the arrival of the "new Hollywood" and techniques that were becoming increasingly popular in television. Among the trend setters were Stanley Kubrick with his montage trailers for Lolita (1962), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Kubrick's main inspiration for the Dr. Strangelove trailer was the short film Very Nice, Very Nice (1961) by Canadian film visionary Arthur Lipsett. Pablo Ferro, who pioneered the techniques Kubrick required as necessary elements for the success of his campaign, created the Dr. Strangelove trailer, as well as the award-winning trailer for A Clockwork Orange (1971).[citation needed]
Many home videos contain trailers for other movies produced by the same company scheduled to be available shortly after the legal release of the video, so as not to spend money advertising the videos on TV. Most VHS tapes would play them at the beginning of the tape, but some VHS tapes contained previews at the end of the film or at both ends of the tape. VHS tapes that contained trailers at the end usually reminded the viewer to "Stay tuned after the feature for more previews." With DVDs and Blu-rays, trailers can operate as a bonus feature instead of having to watch through the trailers before the film

Jeff Minter, creator of arcade game "tube shooters" like Tempest 2000, Centipede, and space giraffe, who really enjoys making these kinds of trippy fast arcade games, decided to make a 'real' Polybius a few years ago. It's pretty crazy and works in VR and is very intense:
I feel like this was made for the distinct purpose of annoying Dan Harmon.
This studio somehow always cuts straight to my core and makes me emotional. Their stuff is just too pretty.
I couldn't find the new trailers thread so I just posted this to Movies.
Looks fun! Like a mix between Mando and Last Airbender with some additional fantasy flair.

I can't imagine that they keep that joke, at least in the same fashion as it was used before.

My understanding is that the majority of the side characters from the original Animaniacs will not be returning.
The continued snubbing of the Goodfeathers is a disgrace.

Hwhshwsssshehwh maaaabaaaa hwwweeeaaaah.
The Godpidgeon says, "Nah - the joke's a little too long in the tooth at this point. And besides, do you want Buttons and Mindy? Because that's how you get Buttons and Mindy."

What about Chicken Boo?
Cause I would love to see more animated shorts about that perfectly normal, average, every day human being.
Ok but... What do I have to do to get Slappy Squirrel back?

That was Animaniacs.
Tell her who's on stage.
The Who!
I'm guessing that one's not coming back.
Somehow a teenager whose family lives in perpetual terror because she'll turn into a literal monster over the smallest of inconveniences or annoyances and destroy their lives no longer seems like a great source of humor.
She's a living cartoon with a heart of gold.
If there's no Wheel of Morality, I'm boycotting.
hannah montana is basically a prequel to dolly parton
Good Idea Bad Idea or I feed
Tom Hanks has a trial of life western film directed by the guy who can't keep a camera steady.

He is the captain now. Again.
News of the World seemed interesting until the grandiose epic music started and then it just went full on oscar bait. And it'd probably do well this year with no real competition.
