What is a film whose trailer alone presaged its success? (lemmy.film)

Lion King, hands down. The trailer was just the entire opening scene, and seeing the trailer for the first time (in the theater, as was the style at the time), gave me chills. The scope of the animation was clearly something new, and Carmen Twillie & Lebo M fucking killed the vocals in Circle of Life

Good call!

Also using the opening scene as a trailer is such a classy move.
