The Toy Story clip seems a little dubious to me as well…

If you’re familiar with StarCraft, I hear the sound effect used when Terran building land in movies very frequently.

I don’t know where it originated from, but I heard it first from SC.

This kind of thing is pretty common.  I’ve noticed a lot of sound effects that get recycled are in video games too; people screaming, doors opening, monster growls.  They’re easy to recognize in movies and TV if you’ve heard them dozens of times already in a game.

While I can see it’s use as an inside joke, it usually just cheapens the overall quality of the movie.

My education continues.The scream’s too much like a musical note with everybody singing the same note and all in the same key. Maybe the directors send all the screamin’ actors to the Wilhelm Academy of Screams.

I am pretty familiar with the animations shown in the compilation and will be queueing up Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, and Aladdin to check. I am suspicious that in at LEAST the case of Toy Story, that scream was dubbed in after.

Cool Compilation There’s also that overused “yeeeaaarrrgh!” scream. And I’ve also noticed a lot of movies, TV shows, and even games like to borrow sound effects from the classic Doom games.
