Just because you are unable or unwilling to see CO's excessive hype doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
EK does it - lasts about 10 minutes in English and Arabic and is played immediately after takeoff, with just as captive an audience. Several other airlines have similar promotional videos. The CO experience is tame compared with the EK one.
