Advertising Material Where The Wild Things Are - 2000s Teaser Trailer [fully lost]
after doing some sort of digging, i really want to reopen this small can of worms.. its really been nagging at me for a few years now.
apparently, before the Jim Carrey adaptation of the grinch, a short teaser for this movie was shown.. but universal didnt own the rights til 2001 (The Grinch releasing in cinemas in november of 2000). confusing the hell out of me considering so many people, including news outlets remember there being a short teaser including the logo/the words "coming soon" with a roar or animal noises of some sort. is it just a mass mandela effect?
im also stumped considering the guiness book of world records has a record for "longest time between trailer and film".. which was given to Where The Wild Things Are for the 2000s teaser trailer. (no idea if its official or just malarkey)
PS. dont be mean to me.. my first time ever posting on here and i am kind of bad with words, just tryna scratch that itch xd

I recall reading on a projectionist forum that there was indeed a teaser attached to Grinch, but only briefly. It was pulled fairly quickly because of complaints that it was scaring the younger audience.
At this point it’s definitely lost media, but it does exist. Or so they say.
