A very funny spoof
randytenn7 November 2005
A very funny spoof of the movie trailer voice-over business. What would happen if 5 of the best voice over men rode to an award show in the same limo. If you listen, you'll be able to recognize the voices. It's pretty fun putting a face to the voices.

My favorite part is Mark Elliot's part, as the beloved voice of Disney. "Now!" Plus, be sure to watch Mark at the end, skipping along.

FYI, the limo does actually belong to Don LaFontaine. He uses a limo to go from job to job, rather than driving his own car. It saves time from him having to find a place to park, and then walking to the recording studios. Must be nice.

An interesting short on voice-over artists!
OllieSuave-0071 February 2015
This is a comedy short featuring five voice-over artists who portray themselves. They all share a limousine ride to the movie theaters and, as they speak, you would instantly recognize them as the voices behind thousands of movie trailers, including the dark and foreboding voice of Don LaFontaine, who begins his trailers with the words "In a world....," the chilling voice behind Jurassic Park's trailer, Nick Tate, and the lighthearted and bright voice behind Disney movie trailers, Mark Elliott.

It is interesting to put a face to these familiar voices and funny to see them all spoof each other during the limousine ride to the red carpet. These people are true stars in their own; it's a great short to see them all together on screen.

Grade A
