Titan A.E. Teaser Trailer (Extremely Rare!)

This was the first teaser trailer for the 2000 film that was shown before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Other than being shown before Episode I, this teaser trailer can't be found anywhere else, other than on the 1999 VHS Print of Office Space.

[@Curien247]

saw the teaser back in 99, it was shocking and a little confusing to see the Summer 2000 release date. then the Millennium happened and everything was never the same

[@starwarsrebel2006]

I remember seeing this trailer in the theater in 1999 when I watched Phantom Menace. I never did end up going to see Titan AE but this trailer brings back memories so I think I'll watch in on Video On Demand on my TV now.

[@tatum635]

This came out on June 2000…..

[@starwarsrebel2006]

@@tatum635 Yes, and the trailer came out in 1999.

I KNEW I saw this before!! THAT'S what it was, Phantom Menace where I saw it

[@CK2012]

I knew I saw this too but I have no idea what movie(s) i saw this teaser in

[@hateUmankind]

same he that trailer got to be is teen lol miss those day wish i can go back in time miss my 90

[@Danimal1177]

Me too. It was a _Phantom Menace_ preview.

[@matthewcline2728]

I think I remember seeing the teaser on Phantom Menace, Tarzan, and The Iron Giant, the second trailer on Toy Story 2, and The final trailer on Dinosaur. Man, the nostalgia!

[@InsideOutRulesEntertainment]

This was undiscovered for 12 years

[@Poever]

It wasn’t a dream then; I remember this teaser

[@jynx2501]

This is one of the most underrated films of all time. It broke FOX's animation studio, and they shut down for a while. i was in highschool when this came out, and now, 16 years later, I'm showing it to my kids for the first time. The love it despite growing up on modern animated greats. That says something.

[@stephenbyrne3909]

MRCG Jynx I always said this films should've included going back to a point where they used the Titan to stop the Drej before they vaporized Earth.

[@elijahabrams8242]

I read that Fox Animation Studios shuttered just before Titan A.E. came out, because of the film's troubled production.

[@LindaFromSeaAtTull]

I remember seeing Star Wars Episode 1 and thiinking this movie was so far away.

[@JoshOrtiz88]

So do I. I recall it was this, "Anna and the King" and "Fight Club" were the trailers with Episode I. Just those three and nothing else, which I found odd.

[@gaoutlaw]

I remember seeing this spot in 1999, and although it wasn’t a hit film, I still enjoy it. the animation is great, and the voice cast is top-notch.

[@99jarjarbinks]

Very underrated. One of my favorite movies☺️❤️

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

To date, this was Don Bluth's last film he directed.

[@kadenvanciel9335]

It might be unknown if Bluth will start doing complete 3D CGI movies that might have small hints of 2D animation in a similar manner to Moana and Ralph Breaks the Internet.

[@elijahabrams8242]

And his darkest film yet.

[@samuraishinobi]

I literally, as a kid, lost my mind when I saw this. It was in 1999 and all this talk about Y2K and how the world was coming to an end made me think that this is what's going to happen on new years day in 2000. Thankfully it didn't, but still.

[@carolgonzalez7234]

Y2k!!! Lmao memories!!!

"...but we always thought Earth would be our home. We were wrong." I remember this trailer.

[@garfieldthecat6889]

I was born in 3023. Humans had already conquered space. Even though it was easy to travel to the farthest galaxy, we'd always thought Earth would be home. But we were wrong. And we had to leave.

[@Madewell86]

You're right. Matter of fact, it was paired that exact "three films in production" format, except "The Beach" was part of it instead of "Fight Club".

[@MazterChief1992]

I remember being terrified by this as a kid.

[@didiervancampo9384]

Saw this trailer in 1999 in the theater when I went to see The Matrix. It was mindblowing and rented it on vhs in summer 2001 when I finally could get a copy of this great movie because even back in 2001 it was very hard to find. Bought the dvd in 2004, still have it in my collection🙂.

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

I used to see this teaser ALL the time at the theater. I used to go to the movies about twice a month back in the 90's and early 2000's, and I swear this teaser played in front of half the movies I saw in '99.

[@randomguy56789]

MaximumMadnessStixon how old were you?

[@tjhall9377]

This trailer was a fever dream - definitely aired before The Phantom Menace. Summer 2000 felt so far away at the time. I remember getting the soundtrack which was absolutely fantastic and recalling as a young kid that there was a preview for it what felt like years before the movie actually came out but never watched it until much later...the animation is really cool. Super under-appreciated movie.

[@DavinLong]

I'm pretty sure a lot of people were very shocked when it was revealed it was directed by Don Bluth and Gary Oldman. Because this trailer showed no animation outside from the space shown in this teaser, it didn't even look like a Don Bluth movie in this trailer.

[@mniscmoney]

Remember seeing this with in a 3-part trailer that also showed Anna and the King and The Beach. I believe it played before Star Wars Episode 1.

[@sllawson6]

Dark, gritty, two attractive lead roles, top notch animation, Features the voice of Nathan Lane, heavy marketing, box office bomb, epic teaser trailer, released around Miss Ariane’s birthday, yep… it’s Disney alright.

[@ryandt2623]

The planets for the movie were animated by the same people who animated the Nicktoons blob, the cockroaches in Joe's Apartment, the Xenomorphs in Alien: Resurrection, and the penguin in Edward Nortan's mind, in Fight Club.

[@Pennyadodumuss]

After seeing that teaser, I used to wonder how the entire human population evacuated the planet.

[@thetimelords911]

And then after seeing the movie, you learn not all of them made it out.

[@JBarg25]

Good find! This was all over the family films of that summer after Episode I came and went. I recall it played with Inspector Gadget as well. Was legitimately surprised they didn't stick it on the DVD.

[@ArthurN9]

Thank you for confirming this! I definitely remember seeing it before Inspector Gadget and being heavily traumatized by it :D

[@Benioff1]

THANK YOU! I've been trying to see this teaser again for nearly 14 years!

[@tertiuscarstens7084]

I remember seeing this trailer in the cinema.

[@PJVids83]

When I went to see Star Wars Episode I, this exact trailer played along with the trailer for Fight Club and Anna and the King as well as a trailer for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

[@SirBlackReeds]

According to TV Tropes, there was another director attached to this project before Don Bluth.

[@beverlycrusher9713]

+jacoblgames oh yes, but he was only a bit writer, I believe his name was..... let me think....hummmm....., oh yes, now I remember , it was a guy named joss wheadon.

[@SirBlackReeds]

beverly crusher False. Joss Whedon is one of the writers, but he was never a director. I believe the previous director was Art Vitello.

[@TaraGothGirl]

Thank you for posting it! Also, notice the logo is different than the one used in the movie itself and later trailers.

[@hiattgrey9161]

This trailer was shown before the start of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Tarzan, and Toy Story 2 in theaters.

[@Kenobi2890]

I knew this trailer existed somewhere. I haven't seen it since the first time I saw it in theaters.

[@CK2012]

I was looking all over for this I remember seeing it from somewhere but could not remember when or where.

[@JBarg25]

(being that the DVD had plenty of features, which was a rarity at the time) Also, this has to be a rougher version than the theatrical one - I remember there being no music and Matt Damon's voice being slightly different in the mix. (Look, I saw Episode I five times - I remember this trailer very well...) In any case, thanks for sharing. (And for what it's worth, I liked the movie and soundtrack CD.)

[@shavebeard]

I went through the exact same thing. I think a lot of people probably assumed it would be live action.

[@scoreman]

When I saw this trailer I was much younger, and I did not clue in that the movie was going to be animated. I thought it was going to be live action. I was unbelievably excited to see a live action movie about Earth being destroyed by aliens, and to see how humans manage in space (kind of like a live action StarCraft). When I realized it was going to be animated, I was really disappointed. I still have not seen Titan AE.

[@bingbong7206]

So because it's animated you don't think it can be good?

[@scoreman]

@@bingbong7206 Astute observation

[@Madewell86]

At that time, they were still contemplating using the title of "Planet Ice" for the film.

[@GiulioSciorio]

Well I'm not sure if this would be juicy but Titan was supposed to be dark and gritty like Heavy Metal. Once companies like Burger King got involved everything had to get "family friendly" and that's when the re-writes started. Also we started another animated film that was supposed to save the studio called Africa. The tests we animated at 24fps and each character used over 100 colors. Oprah was slated to be one of the leads too but we know what happened with Fox. :-(

[@mannyvasquez39]

I finally found it Saw this trailer as a kid always wanted to know what it was now i can watch it

[@hevendor958]

as for people who didn't notice this or probably notice this if you look in the Background to where Earth is shown you can see that they used the Image of The Pillers of Creation nice little detail huh

[@Matthew-nu9sl]

Good movie, the best sci-fi movie for animation at the end of the 1990's, it was pretty good. I feel it helped inspired the TV show and 4 TV movies for "Futurama".

I saw this as a teaser in the theater when going to see _The Phantom Menace_ and was so excited to see this. I couldn't wait for "Summer 2000" to happen. I thought this was going to be the coolest sci-fi film since Star Wars. But then I learned this was an animated movie and lost all interest.
