Say My Name Trailer

A particular type of trailer or advertisement for a show which focuses on little besides the main character and making sure the audience damn well remembers the main character, and by extension, the film's name. Essentially, you take a bunch of unrelated scenes from the production and edit them together to get a Say My Name sequence.

This is most common with children's films with a character title name. The trailer is nothing more than the various secondary cast members saying the main character's name in quick succession (sometimes, but not usually, including the main character self-identifying). For instance, the trailer for Bob: The Movie would go something like:

"Sidekick: BOB!

Girlfriend: Bob?

Big Bad: Bob!

Janitor: Bob!

Mother: Bob!

The Dragon: BOB?!

Crowd: BOB!"

Etc. etc. etc.

Of course, Viewers are Morons, especially children, so maybe repeating the name of the movie and main character 50 times quickly in one commercial will get it to stick into their sugar-riddled brains. It's like an Anvilicious Title Drop.

Anime

 * WALL-E (Granted, being R2-D2 In Love, half the movie itself is Say My Name)

 * It was "only" three or four times, but at least one Jonah Hex trailer has this.
 * There's Something About Mary

 * It wasn't actually used to promote the movie, but the dvd of The Family Man has an extra called "Hi Jack Montage", which is exactly what you'd think it is.
 * Harriet the Spy
 * Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest did this for Captain Jack Sparrow in one TV spot, with most of the characters just using "Jack".
 * Imagine the phrase "My name is Domino Harvey" repeated about seventy times and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the Domino trailer is like.
