Lost THX "Tex" Trailer: A Smile of A Child DVD Boxset

Did I ever tell you about the times where I came across those lost THX box sets featuring characters from Vortexx CW and KQED Kids getting killed? If you have, then you’ll be surprised, as for me, it keeps getting worse and worse. This time, I have come across a lost THX box set involving Smile of A Child.

For those unaware, Smile of A Child (Or Smile as they call it nowadays) is a religious children’s channel that has a variety of great and sometimes bad shows. I love that channel a lot. Some shows I would watch on that channel are VeggieTales, Tales of Little Women, Cherub Wings, Paws & Tales, 3-2-1 Penguins and Superbook.

But after I came across a very disturbing THX Tex trailer, I somehow lost all my faith in humanity. You’ll have to forgive me. Anyways, I’m going to tell you the story about a lost THX box set that scared me almost to the brink.

I was with my grandmother at Dairy Queen eating a bacon cheeseburger with no vegetables, fries and a M&M blizzard. After lunch, we went down to Goodwill to find some Halloween stuff since I believed that we would be going trick or treating on halloween.

While my grandmother did some shopping, I went into the media section and got some DVDs until something caught my eye. Next to a DVD of Ice Age was what appeared to be a boxset. It consisted of characters including Bob & Larry from VeggieTales, the March sisters from Tales of Little Women, Cherub from Cherub Wings, CJ Brown from Paws & Tales, Zidgel from 3-2-1 Penguins and Chris & Joy from Superbook. The boxset was entitled “Smile of A Child: The Ultimate THX Collection.”

Since my grandmother was rather christian, I showed her what I had found and she told me that she and I used to love that channel growing up. We got our stuff, went home and I thanked my grandmother for the trip we had today.

When I got inside, my parents told me that they were going to my little sister’s concert at school and would go until the evening. As soon as they left, I took out the DVDs only to find something strange. It was an extra DVD that was entitled “The Rare THX Trailer Made By Smile of A Child.”

“Well, I can't wait for my childhood to get even worse!” I muttered.

I put the DVD into my DVD player and it began. The first thing that popped up was that Thank You bumper from the Smile of A Child network that was used from the early 2000’s to 2017. Then it took me to a language menu. The languages included English, Spanish, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese.

I selected English and then it showed a montage of the different shows on the boxset. Then it took me to the menu which consisted of the characters including Tex. Like all those other THX boxsets, the options were Play, Scene Selection, Set Up and Bonus Features.

I pressed play and it began with a warning that said:

“This lost THX trailer was made for the theatrical release of “The Devil Inside” and must not be viewed by young children. It also contains very disturbing scenes that may be very frightening for christians. If you are a christian, take the moment to eject the DVD now. For those who are half christian, watch at your own risk!”

“Show me your worst!” I muttered. The trailer started at the countertop from VeggieTales. Bob started off with, “Hi kids and welcome to VeggieTales! I’m Bob the Tomato.” Larry then said, “And I’m Larry the Cucumber!”

Bob then continued on by saying, “Now we have a little bit of a concern. We have been hearing some strange rumors about a robot who has been going around different universes killing animated characters. I just hope we aren’t next!”

Just then, Bob and Larry heard some very strange sinister chuckling. Larry said, “Oh no! It looks like we’re next!

As Bob and Larry began to get more nervous, Tex dropped down and said, “Hello there vegetables, would you like to see what a vegetable looks like when it’s cut?”

Bob angrily responded with, “No we don’t, we’ve heard a lot about you. You’ve killed almost every animated character in this world.” Tex who was stupidly confused asked, “What characters?” Bob then said, “Well, how do you explain this?” He then began to show different characters that Tex had killed while still saying “And this” over and over.

Tex then remembered all of it and shouted, “Well now, since you’ve made me remember, I guess you all should die!” He then took out what appeared to be a carbon knife as he shouted, “Time to slice some veggies!” Bob and Larry began to scream as they began running from Tex.

Tex recognized Larry’s sword and said, “You actually think you’ll take me down with that sword? Just wait till you see what’s in store!” Tex took out a katana sword and slashed Larry to death. Bob shouted, “Larry, no!”

He then began to cry. But he wasn’t doing cartoon crying, it sounded like his actor Phil Vischer was actually sobbing. Tex then said, “It’s too late Bob, I’ve murdered your friend, now I’ll kill you.” He then grabbed Bob by the head and they stood by the sink. Bob sadly asked, “What’s your purpose in killing people?” Tex replied with, “I told someone this before. It’s my job!”

Tex put Bob down. He began to parody the movie “300” and he shouted, “THIS, IS, THX!” He then kicked Bob off the counter and Bob went into the garbage disposal. What made it more disturbing was that I could see him getting shredded.

It then faded to black. But it wasn’t over yet. It then went into the Tales of Little Women universe. Meg and Mary were watching Beth play the piano as Amy was drawing some pictures. Jo was walking up the stairs to inform her family about something.

Jo first walked in saying, “Mom, Meg, Beth, Amy? Can I state something?” Meg then asked, “What’s the matter Jo?” Jo said, “There’s a crazy robot lurking somewhere here in Gettysburg. So we must stay inside today and throughout the rest of the evening.”

Amy was confused and she said, “Oh Jo, you’re so dumb, robots have never existed.” Jo angrily replied, “I’m not dumb Amy, one of my friends told me all about it. As a matter of fact, one of them was killed by him!”

All of a sudden, Beth asked, “Is something burning, or am I imagining?” Just then, a portal opened up resembling hell. “Oh nooooo!” Beth shouted. Jo gasped at the sight of Beth’s death and said “He’s here!”

Amy shouted, “He sure is! Look out the window over here!” They looked at it and saw Tex. He then began to break the window with an axe and the March family screamed. Tex then began to point at Amy saying, “You there, yellow hair. Why did you burn Jo’s novel?”

Jo then interrupted by saying, “That doesn’t matter! What matters is for you to get out. You killed one of my friends. Now get out of here before I get super mad!”

Tex then said, “Well then, time for all of you to die!” He then went over to Meg. Like in that lost episode of Caillou entitled “Family Secrets”, he stabbed Meg in the back and she had her spine ripped out.

As I could tell, Jo had run out of the room to hide somewhere to be safe from Tex. Amy began to hide in her bedroom by hiding under her bed. Tex then knocked on the door and said, “Don’t bother locking your door and hiding under your bed, as I’m going to kill you!” Tex then took an axe and began chopping down the door.

He then said, “Amy, I’m home!” All of a sudden, he took a pipe bomb and put it under Amy’s bed. It exploded in the progress. Tex went on to kill Mary March by attacking her with a wooden spear.

After that, he decided to finally go after Jo March. He was carrying the same tools from the first lost THX trailer. Jo was in her room in tears worrying about how she was going to die. She was hiding in her bedroom and she was being as quiet as she could. Just then, Tex appeared outside.

He tried to open the door but nothing was working for him. Jo then ran over to the closet and shut it tight.

Tex who was stupidly worried said, “Well, I just know I won’t be able to find Jo. So, I guess my work here is almost done!” He then flew out of the house and the screen faded to black. But still, it wasn’t over. We then head into God’s Garden from Cherub Wings.

Cherub was preparing what looked like a chocolate cake until his good friend Chubby came by. He said, ‘Hi Cherub! I have got to ask you something!” Cherub said, “What’s up Chubby?”

Chubby then said, “Have you heard of a robot named Tex?” Cherub then got confused and asked, “Who is Tex? Is he a bad guy in the bible?” Chubby replied, “Well he is a bad guy, but he’s not in the bible? He’s a robot in the modern times who has been going around killing various animated characters.”

Cherub seemed nervous and said, “I hope he’s not on his way to heaven!” All of a sudden, they heard some sinister chuckling. Cherub said, “Oh no! He is on his way! What do we do?”

He then said, “Oh God, what shall I do to stop Tex? God then said, “Just tell him that you do not have the right to be hurt!”

All of a sudden, Tex dropped down and said, “Hello there little angels, want to see what it’s like when your halo is removed?”
