Prior to the release of Pixar's CGI-animated film The Incredibles, three online promotional trailers were made. They are titled First In Line, Still First in Line, and First in Line: SOLD OUT.

Information online about these shorts is sparse and primarily available through recollections of reviewers since the trailers are no longer accessible from the original Disney site.[1]

According to one recounting, the trailers parodied typical Hollywood release hype.[2] The first two shorts, First in Line and Still First in Line, are reportedly clips of a male fan of the upcoming film waiting in line. [3] Consensus online holds that these shorts weren't clips from the film; rather, they focused on advertising the premiere date.

These shorts were unexpectedly left off of the DVD and Blu-Ray releases for The Incredibles, much to the chagrin of many reviewers. Since being taken down from the Disney Geek website, the shorts have remained unavailable to the public.
