Approximately 6 randomly selected seconds from each of the first US theatrical trailer of nine films I consider formative to my life. Some clips are widely and easily identifiable, such as Belle (of Beauty and the Beast fame) singing the song by the same name, and may evoke memories of childhood or a trip to Disneyland. Others, like a conversation between the villains of The Chipmunk Adventure as they discuss their plans to trick Alvin and the Chipmunks to smuggle diamonds, likely mean nothing to anyone but me (who happily watched the film over and over) or my immediate family (who less-happily watched the film over and over).
