The Wilhelm Scream

I'm a pretty big fan of the "Wilhelm Scream". Dunno why...it's just funny. Anyways, I just saw a (relatively) new Pixar short that has it at the very end.

Below is a "Wilhelm Scream" compilation showing its use through the silver, golden and future (aka now) decades and the short, "Lifted"





I mean, I think it's pretty swell.

From Wikipedia, about the Wilhelm Scream:

The Wilhelm scream is a repeatedly used film and television stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the film Distant Drums.[1] The effect gained new popularity (its use often becoming an in-joke) after it was used in Star Wars and many other blockbuster films as well as television programs and video games. [2]

The Wilhelm scream has become a well-known cinematic sound cliché, and is claimed to have been used in over 140 films,[3] as well as every episode of Primeval, and in some form, every episode of The Middleman (TV series).
