Before the movie is played at Loews Cineplex Entertainment, there were policy trailer shorts, especially the ones that featured the Muppets of Sesame Street.
The first of them is a policy trailer short titled Don't Forget to Watch the Movie that probably dated back to 1996 where in song, the Muppets of Sesame Street sing out the rules of the movie theater.
The second of the policy trailer shorts was the one that provides a synopsis of the developments in film making from silent movies to present day by the Muppets of Sesame Street.
This was filmed during Sesame Street's 30th anniversary.
Cookie Monster gives a lecture on the history of motion pictures, with examples on film featuring Marshall Grover and Fred the Wonder Horse.
They demonstrate how, after a " not too interesting " period with no picture and no sound, moving pictures were invented ; followed by moving pictures with sound (" This town ain't big enough for the two of us!
"), which resulted in the invention of the musical.
An all-star Sesame Street cast, with Prairie Dawn as the director, joins Grover and Fred in a big musical number called " This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Two Of Us ," as the movie turns to color and widescreen.
Finally, the Special Effects are introduced: a rolling boulder, a shark, and an enormous Muppet twister chase all of the singers out of the studio.
The clip ends with Cookie Monster eating the sled called Rosebud from Citizen Kane, and Big Bird ( inside an MGM esque circle showing " celebrating 30 years ") telling the viewers to " Enjoy the movie!
" as some of the musical cast runs by.
This short accompanied all prints on the theatrical release of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and accompanied Muppets from Space on a smaller number of prints.
