This almost brought a tear to my eye... I remember this so clearly! Thanks so much for uploading!!

I vividly had memories of this a young kid. My sensory issues hated this and it used to be so LOUD to me that I’d have to cover my ears as hard as i could until it was over. Can’t believe i found it. Now it’s comforting to me and i can’t stop watching it lol 😂

That was nice. It's like you're in another world for a while when you watch movie theater intros like these.

I saw this when I was little, and it just became my default aesthetic for my whole life.

Most National Amusements theaters now operate as Showcase Cinema De Lux, but the holding company is still called National Amusements.

Thank You ! I used to work in Showcase Theaters in MA ! What fun times they were !!!!!

I remember, in late 90's, here in Argentina there was a Showcase cinema (which it's still operating), in a "mall" (It wasn't actually a mall, it was an "Entertainment Centrer", which has been converted in 2007 into a actual mall) which I used to go, with this "neons" and "colors" theme. It was awesome! This advert is part of my chilhood. I really loved (and still do) going to the movies!

God, THIS one takes me back...

Man the excitement of heading to tesside park and seeing a movie with this coming on.. felt like we were in the future! Thanks for bringing back those wide-eyed feelings

I remember going to the cinema and going in with a drink and bag of popcorn so when those loud carlton adverts came on I could not cover my ears I used to be scared of them lol

Please never delete this. I’m creating playlists for my movies that came out in the 90s and I’m adding this into in front of them.

I SAW THIS FROM 1997 WITH "QUEST FOR CAMELOT" UNTIL 2007 WITH "THE GOLDEN COMPASS" IN SHOWCASE CINEMAS IN ARGENTINA 🎉🎉🎉

I loved this when I was a kid! Thanks a bunch!

Holy shit. Thank you for uploading, I've been searching high and low for this.

i'd go to the movies more if preshows looked like this again, that and general cinemas

I mean the one that they currently use now. But that kaleidoscope one sounds cool too, and I'd like to see it. I'm sure if I saw it, I would remember it. I'd also like to find the opening scene showing the N on the movie screen and showing where the emergency exits are, and mentioning that they're easier access to the parking lot.

Holy shit, this brings me back.

The Simon and Schuster Interactive logo looks similar to that of the National Amusements logo

nostalgia blast! i remember this so well! to me this made me more excited than the actual movie lmao. they arent like this anymore. im still going to the same theater though

wow que lindo recuerdo!!

i like that advert when i go the cinema

YAY! Thank you!

I remember this ident when i was a 90's kid.

I remember that loved that

I'm amazed that National Amusements doesn't have a policy of airing Paramount films only and telling people to watch CBS.

Me too, I wanted to see the Feature Presentation Screen.

I love this, it reminds me so much if the cinema (OBVS!) it's a random but cool feeling :S xD

Great trailer

I wish they’d bring this back

Do anyone remember an animation in cinemas about an Egyptian piramid?

The ones in Brookline and Allston also had Rent Our Theater. Sadly, both are now closed.

Does anyone know when this was retired from cinemas? 2006ish?

@trailersic when was this?

thank yoU!

This is in PAL speed, but I remember the trailer like this (followed by Coming Attractions), but in NTSC speed.

Ah no I loved this, but that's nostalgia for you as this was the one from my teens, till they opened a Cineworld closer to home. As far as competition I don't think most places can handle much competition as far as cinemas go, TV and Video has taken care of that.

"They've even got them playing on the TV screens in the main lobby." *cough*

Could you please re-post the download link? Rapidshare is kinda kaputsky and I'd love to have this for my home theater!

Anyone remember this one from Showcase in Manchester UK?

It may have been the time when a unsupervised child pulled the alarm on the wall and everyone went nuts there. It takes 15-20 for everthing to reset including the projectors which is required by law to shut down when such an events occurs.

What year did this ident start?

Will you do a backwards version of this logo please?

is this the 1 in teeside ?

1990? Wow, it's that old?

You know what sucks, they don't play this clip before movies anymore at my NA Theatre. I thought it was cool, infact I tried to get to each theatre showing early so I could watch this along with the previews.

yep, the download has been fixed so it's not sped up

It's a shame national amusements don't upload the original quality version. I sent an email to someone asking about it years and years ago but didn't get a response 😅

National Amusements also owns Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon and Simon & Schuster

Think it's from the 90's upt till around last year.

Anyone know what decade this is from? I’m thinking 80s

Ah, so they redubbed the music. Still pretty impressive looking for its time.

@minxtail simply put this is all I've got.

Bluewater Shopping Centre Showcase Cinema 2001 Monster Inc

Is this that company which owns those...other companies which shall not be named here?

"yep, the DOWNLOAD has been fixed so it's not sped up"

@minxtail no

January 14 2000 February 12 1999

Atco Multiplex in Atco New Jersey. I remember those nights at the movies. The amazing arcade machines looping in the background. I always remembered this bumper. Thanks for bringing me back, to the memories.

this used to be part-and-parcel of the whole cinema experience! It made you excited haha, they should bring it back!

This shit sounds amazing with headphones

It's called "neon" and we used it from around 1990 up to about a year or two ago. It is made by Pike Productions out of Newport, RI. From 2002-2004 we varied from policy trailers including the "Survivor", Two and a Half Men" and "Kevin James" policies.

I remember this from visiting the Multiplex Cinemas at the Reston Town Center while on vacation to visit my grandparents. Seeing this always makes me wish "The Price is Right" could have opened their with this, replacing certain text with what's being said, like instead of the rules, have the first 4 contestants' names and "COME ON DOWN!", and interspersing footage of the audience- and Rich Fields, too.

Thank you , I was an usher for Showcase in North Attleboro ,MA

That's taken from Hey Arnold! the Movie, The Fast and the Furious, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, Spirited Away, Ice Age, Monsters Inc, Jimmy Neutron, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Shrek, The Lord of the Rings and more.

The music reminds me of Madonna's Ray of Light.

Remember seeing this at Edgewater Cinema. Good times.

If anyone else has Any Cinema Policy Trailers or Adverts on DVD or VHS I'd like to hear from you so I can put them on here too. Can't get enough of these things, but youtube quality just won't do, hence I provided the xvid link in the description.

You mean the one with the dark kaleidoscope background and those dots of light forming the N logo? Or the one with the green N logo with like the one here?

Will someone upload the new one please?

"Pearl & Dean" should get you what you desire

Anyone know what i should search for if I'm looking for the music at the beginning when it's like du du du du du du dududu du du du du du duuuu??? PMSL

The showings of "The Tigger Movie", "Rugrats in Paris" and "Monsters Inc."

This is awesome. Do you also have the National Amusements Feature Presentation bumper? If so, please post it. And if not, where can I find it?

it annoyed me that they did it on the u rated films too I mean I was about 7 and me and my grandma (who normally took me to the cinema) sat near the front so I whould get so scared The wprst is that 1 where it shows the fire and then the sparks come out and the carlton logo forms in the sky really loudly I nearly cried at it oh yeah and the THINK adverts they showed made my grandma look away and cover her ears lol I had to hold her icce cream so she could

No this is sped up. I remember it slower to it's original pace.

In a world....

I know it's pretty random, but the music at 0:53 really reminds me of Sonic CD: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNuJipRoyZPamn0.html

wish they'd play this instead of all those new annoying amc red ball characters
