Author Topic: Robots (2005) Dave Callaghan Film Handler Posts: 60 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-10-2005 08:33 PM                     Ice Age 2 is not a standard trailer. It does not have a Fox logo anywhere in its length. It concludes with - To Be Continued. It is printed as the beginning of reel 1 of Robots, going immediately into the Fox feature logo for Robots, with no splice between the end of the Ice Age 2 short and the feature logo, the same way that Disney prints its shorts before the beginning of its features. Depending on how much black is left before the first frame - a white screen - the length is 184 1/2 feet, or 2 minutes 3 seconds.  |  IP: Logged John T.

All three of my Robots prints had both the Star Wars trailer AND the Ice Age short spliced in after printing.  |  IP: Logged Dave Callaghan Film Handler Posts: 60 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-12-2005 01:29 AM                     That IS interesting. I am running 2 prints that were identical as far as the printing of the Ice Age 2 short and the beginning of the Fox feature logo without a splice between them goes. I wonder why anyone would bother cutting the film to splice the short to the beginning of the first reel of the feature. Both of my prints have less than a foot between the end of the short where it fades out and the beginning of the fade in of the feature logo. I also found the Star Wars Episode III trailer was spliced to the head of the Ice Age 2 short on both prints.  |  IP: Logged Jannette McQueen Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada Registered: Sep 2003 posted 03-12-2005 03:23 PM                     We are running two prints at our theater and neither came with Star Wars trailers.  |  IP: Logged Robert John Jeromson Master Film Handler Posts: 264 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Jul 2004 posted 04-06-2005 07:14 PM                     I don't suppose this is particularly relevant now but the trailer for Ice Age included with prints in New Zealand is a standard trailer with Fox logo and Ice Age 2 - 2006 at its conclution.  |  IP: Logged
