Thought I might as well upload all four Sterling/UAV trailers that were included with the DiC General Mills Cereal campaign DVDs in the summer of 2004. These have the same narrator and overall style (

and in the case of Heathcliff and Inspector Gadget, the same glorious-quality stock music), so clearly, they are even better in one sitting. The first two promos are sourced from the "Super Mario Bros./Heathcliff" disc, while the next two are from (can you guess?) the "Inspector Gadget/Gadget Boy" disc.
Strangely, the Mario advert is not promoting the concurrent Super Mario Bros. Super Show! release "Mario Mania!" (which came out in July 2004), but rather the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 compilation "King Koopa Katastrophe" (2003). Even stranger, this ad is actually a reworking of an earlier promo for the 2002 SMBSS DVD "Mario's Greatest Movie Moments"; using much of the same footage and even some of the same lines for the narrator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHa5Fb-CH8Q&t=7m12s (see 07:12). I guess doing the ad as cheaply as possible was more important to DiC than showing off relevant footage.
