There's actually a whole thread on the forums that discusses lost media people used to have and it's crazy to read about everything that's been accidentally discarded over the years.
Hunter 1: we’re looking for this media, it’s [INSERT DESCRIPTION HERE] and here is some footage. [INSERT CLIP HERE] Hunter 2: Hang on, I think I’ve seen that on TV before, might have a tape of it. *2 Days Later…* Hunter 2: *I have a fucking tape of it!* The other 5 Hunters there: *Holy shit get the thing on here!*
@@ChrisHinners008 there was a game on my ipad named ''tick baits universe''. it was a size comparison type game and i cant find it on the appstore anymore. can you please help?
An entire TV show that never even got to air in full even once the first time around getting saved and uploaded to TH-cam for all to see? That's...I mean that's just huge. That's a tier 1 success right there.
I love hearing about the Hamster Dance's makers' attempts to partner with Disney, considering the theme is based off Disney Robin Hood's 'Whistle Stop'
The fact Disney didn't sue their asses or take over the Hamster Dance property for that actually surprises me. Maybe even a company that at the time was making cheap DTV sequels to as many animated movies as possible and 2 live action 101 Dalmatian movies realized that was even below their standards to bother. Can't blame them. That movie looks terrible.
@@mightyfilm Rapsittie is only infamous for the animation itself, the story is a plain a white rice. This movie looks more produced comparatively, but most likely compensates that with obnoxious singing.
@@mrlaz9011 No. I'd say the poorly constructed story fits very well with the cheap animation. If there was some sort of emotional bend to the protagonist giving his personally sentimental Teddy Bear just so some girl he had a crush on would like him, it's lost on how incredibly stupid said main character is. He comes off more pathetic than sympathetic, and just the overall writing and construction is just lazy, emotionally manipulative in the worst way. To say the least, the characters' personalities are so one dimensional, the whole thing would come off as parody. And who actually thought that the great grandma talking like a VCR choking on a tape would be intentionally funny? Thing could have had Pixar or at the very least Reboot level CGI and it still would have been trash.
Nick teasing people about the Blue's Clues pilot is slightly unnerving. They have the episode, they're definitely aware that people want to see it, but just won't release it!
Because the top dogs are douche canoes who love teasing people with something they have. It is like that kid at recess who has a bag of sweets and will not share with other kids
"Contacted a few burger king employees..." I just pictured you pulling up to a drive through "yeah can I get a 10 peice nuggets and a phillips cdi training disc?"
you should cover Dan Zane's House Party if you have time. it was a group of interstitials that used to air on Playhouse Disney from 2006-2007. the interstitials have an intro that starts with a poorly CGI butterfly (which i can remember the most about the show). each episode contains children's music, all created by Dan Zane himself from what i can assume. however, 4 episodes have only resurfaced, and there are most likely more episodes, but all of them have been lost aside from the aforementioned resurfaced episodes.
I've heard a lot about this topic in passing actually, if I ever make another lost children's show video or Playhouse Disney video (both of which I'm sure will happen) I'll add that to the topics.
Hey LSuperZonicQ, one thing i find to be super important lost media that doesnt seem to be talked about at all is the lost title cards of most classic Looney Tunes cartoons. What I mean by this is the most famous Looney Tunes cartoons have a title card that is a blue ribbon for getting a reward, but what isnt widely known is that these famous cartoons had a different unique title card for each, that are presumably lost to time. Id like to see this on either you or blameitonjorge's youtube channel, because Looney Tunes is possibly the most famous classic cartoon ip, and also my favorite by far.
At first I seriously thought Gabor Csupo was involved with “Sammy” because the character designs and general art style look partially SO MUCH like his stuff. I’m honestly shocked he’s not affiliated with this.
I have some personal list media: I remember watching Adult Swim when I was young at night (my parents didn't care as long I didn't swear). One commercial scared me so much, I hide under my covers. It seemed like a car commercial, and started with a dark city and red sky, it then panned inside a sewer, and red monster eyes visible in the dark. It was narrated by deep masculine voice. As I said earlier, I was so scared by the commercial, I hide under the covers; with the part I described was the only parts of the commercial I saw. The last time I saw was back in 2011-12 (my memory is pretty faulty), where it played after a rerun of Codename: Kids Next Door. If anyone remembers seeing what I described, please tell more about it. I try to find it, but couldn't. When I type in 'scary car commercial ', it only had that jumpstart zombie one.
Was it a live action commercial or an animated bumper? I might not be thinking of the right thing but I remember another lost media video talked about some lost animation stuff on Cartoon Network and it was possible that the guy who made it was the same guy who made a lot of the creepy bumpers for adult swim.
@@alainwolf146 then it might have been a bumper!! Instead of searching scary car commercial you can search up ‘scary adult swim bumpers’ I know they used to show a lot of those
Are you thinking of the Scion xD "Fable of the Deviants" commercial? It's a car ad that starts out exactly as you described, in an animated city with a red sky. The camera pans into the sewers to reveal where the titular Deviants live. It has... very little to do with the car being advertised lol
Sammy just was an unfortunate victim of the late 90's Prime Time Animation Boom that ended in a slew of short lived, often forgotten series. Sure, two of those series did manage to stage comebacks, Family Guy and Futurama, but that was because of cable channel reruns. It sucks Sammy never got license rescued by [adult swim] the way those two shows, Home Movies, and The Oblongs did. At least the last two have a cult following. I've yet to get the chance to actually watch Sammy, though, but my interest is high.
My personal lost media: a commercial aired around 1997-2002 in the US that used the first 30 seconds of Japanese song from an 'lost(?)' anime OST (Angel Egg no Tsukurikata ~ for Ruri & Hari). My brother and I both saw the commercial and we did not see it air more than once or twice and it was shown during prime-time. It was an American Express commercial about robots building the card on a moody lit CGI assembly line.
I just saw a tik tok using the blue prints footage and i was like "oh my goodness oh my goodness why is no one talking about this?!" but the wiki was already updated. Still i was surprised how it got knocked under the radar so fast
I remember there was a cartoon that featured a kid in school with a tough as nails teacher, but he and his classmates were given a tough question to answer. The kid ventured through his imagination and discovered the answer was a letter. H? I? J? I don't remember it perfectly. I think it was a short featured on Oh Yeah! Cartoon! or What a Cartoon back on Nickelodeon.
For sure, I think it's one of the best examples of "you never know how a piece of lost media is going to be found" which gives me hope for a lot of other topics that feel impossible to get.
Nice man! I really wish that Nick would upload the full pilots to both Blue Prints and Me and My Friends that would be pretty dope for sure! I also did not expect there to be claymation segments of JBVO that's pretty interesting for sure. Lastly, I'm surprised you didn't talk about how some of the images of Me and My Friends were found man as you talked about them in your livestream a few weeks ago.
@@Kkmzji yeah as well as Me and My Friends for Backyardigans. I wonder why the show switched from people in costumes to CGI animation when it came to the final show.
Excellent! :D I'm so glad Sammy has finally been fully recovered, and is now archived for all too see! It's also great that we've gotten more information on the Super Why pilot! Hopefully we'll get more than just audio such as footage! There were was a clay-animation on JBVO before? Wow, I bet even fewer people knew that existed, but I am thrilled to see more things from this unfortunate very short-lived classic mini series! I do hope that Nickelodeon will finally release Blue Prints, Blue's Clue was one of my favorite educational shows growing up! Nice to see the Hamster Dance Christmas special has been saved after all these years! Here's hoping that more for the Burger King CD-i game will become more apparent later on! Can't wait for the next video! ^^
Great video as always! It's especially interesting to see a claymation segment on JBVO; I also think there might be other special things like made for JBVO that haven't been seen; the only other thing like it is the infamous DBZ request segment.
Another lost media topic including children's shows might be Jim Henson's Animal Jam. Someone told me about it a while back and I tried to find it, but it's not streaming anywhere and some episodes are lost aside from descriptions. Although apparently Tubi had it last year, they don't have it now. There's another Jim Henson show with a VERY similar name, but it's a completely different show.
i've vaguely heard of that before and it sounds really interesting! i'd guess it would probably be VERY hard to search for, at least in the beginning, because of the mmo with the same name.
@@zimternet It was pretty hard in the beginning but as long as I kept the Jim Henson part in, it helped. That being said, the search has hit a dead end at the moment because I am not good at talking to people.
I have a vhs tape of a cartoon called God the Devil and Bob and it’s like an early version with placeholders in the video. I bought it on eBay many years ago , not sure if it’s a lost media item. Let me know what you think
I never compared it to full aired videos it could have some parts that never aired , I am not sure. It was a test vhs version. Anyway I thought it was interesting
@@Zulf85 agreed. I was wondering if OP has an early episode. Or maybe one that was nearly completed, but never released and instead kept on a kind of demo tape. If So, could be worth a butt ton.
Man, I can't imagine finding some old movie you have, saying "What ever happened with this, anyway?", googling it, and being greeted with the Lost Media search... I kinda wish that were me! gonna have to search through some old VHS tapes at some point
Nice series, explained in a great manner. I hope that you will cover the Godspeed You! Black Emperor debut cassette that was found and released 27 years later, a holy grail for music fans!
"if you've been watching my channel for the past year or so....." How about all the Years L,I remember I even "joined" the search for A day with SpongeBob on the wiki. Love the content man, keep it up! I listen to it on audio when I'm at work.
Wait someone finally found something from Vic's Vacant Lot at 0:52? I had no idea until now. For a long time I think that's the only show in Nickelodeon's history that was completely lost to time. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in this video.
Yeah after seeing images of the pilot I kinda wish the final show went with that concept, I think it would have had a bigger place in children's show nostalgia.
I actually remember a possible lost media I remember as a kid, but i remember so little of it, probably not enough to go on. One of those "know it if I saw it" things.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews all I remember was that it was a Halloween cartoon, and I think a group of kids had to try and find some sort of macguffin, and were aided by another kid who, at the end, the twist was they were a ghost. I was really little so who knows if I remember it
@@TheDanishGuyReviews I'll have to watch to be sure but I think you're right. Guess not really a lost media thing, but certainly lost to me. Thanks! That was bugging me for years
@@agentkmr Yeah. And Adorabat switched between feminine and masculine pronouns but eventually settled on Adorabat being a female child who is 5 years old.
I really enjoyed Sammy and it's a shame it didn't get a proper chance. Idk if it would have reached the popularity shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy have. However, I think it was definitely enjoyable enough to have potenntially grown a fan base had it been given the chance to air properly.
I watched that Hamster Dance film at 2am like a day after it was found. Literally every character in it looks like a Board Certified Sleep Paralysis Demon
Sammy looks like something that Klasky Cupo would make. It even jas that distinctive KC feel to it. Also, I guess the only thing that came out of the Disney partnership deal with Hampton was that the song got to air on Radio Disney, as I remember hearing it there back in the day when my local Radio Disney station was still on the air.
Here are some other possible differences between the pilot and final version of the series of Blue's Clues that we don't know about. 1. Sidetable Drawer probably wasn't sentient, as implied by Steve's dialogue when he gets his notebook out of his pocket. 2. Mailbox probably wasn't even in the pilot, because, if he was, we'd know it by now, because he would be right in front of the house, but, he isn't. But, I do think a character similar to him was in the pilot, possibly a mailman named Mike, who would deliver mail to the front door. 3. The elephants most certainly were not in the pilot, as they just feel like a last minute edition in the final version of the episode "Snack Time". 4. I think this was supposed to be the first time Steve met Blue, judging by the song "Can You Help Me Today?", and the first time Steve canonically played Blue's Clues, judging by his dialogue.
there was a recent post I saw about "Dork Hunters From Outerspace" if you ever look in to that. I remember having what I think was a CDi Encyclopedia though it could be any Lazer disk system that I had. I remember it being a non-PC system that used CDs and was both education and had games Also I know of a few lost medias many from very local productions or from school classes on video production. How interested would you be in videos that only existed mainly in one county of one part of one state?
I’m sorry they don’t make variety shows anymore. It would be a great way for new creators to cut their teeth, and indicate the animation companies actually cared about their fans.
Former Applebee’s server and key-holder from 1997-2011. Applebees also used the Philips CD-i for training. I haven’t seen this referenced ever. Since it’s been over 10 years since I’ve even been inside an Applebees, I have no idea how to find these
If it hasn’t been thrown away it’s probably sitting in some office or closet at Applebees if I had to guess. Unfortunately you would have to find someone like a manager who would go look at their restaurant and would care enough to even try to find it.
Have you heard of a comic called attack of monkey kid? I saw this post on r/helpmefind about this comic from 1994 named attack of monkey kid. I personally wasn't able to find anything about it, so it might be lost media
Can you do lost PSAs and PIFs? Idk if there's any besides Hitogata but I'm very interested to see a video about them! Edit: there was actually one I saw on the tv tropes site about a missing domestic violence PSA from Portugal I think. It was called "And she lost hope". It was apparently a very graphic one but idk if it ever was aired. Never found it despite looking on their site
Since other people are doing it I will talk about this lost media I have failed to search for years. It was a mod of Super Smash Bros Brawl that replaced Tabuu with a weird model of Marx, the music is Vs. Marx and the stage was changed to his original arena in Kirby Super Star. Marx's attacks were identical to Tabuu's but he lacks almost any animation, even for the shark blade where it was like Tabuu's but Marx was just dragged alongside it and the crystals in his wings. The only animation I remember is the Off Waves where he slowly spreads his wings and feet apart. Also the player was Kirby with the default skin.
I wonder if there's something in the Blue's Clues pilot that Nick themselves no longer own the rights to EDIT: I went and looked at the clips and noticed even in the clips where Blue is present she doesn't speak. it would probably be pretty hard to air a Blue's Clues episode if you didn't own the rights to Blue's voice anymore 🥸
Hey, I was wondering if you or anyone else can help me find this old Disney interactive website from the 2000s. It had different areas to explore like Hero's Stadium, where you'd meet Mulan and Hercules, or play a restaurant game with Stitch. If this rings any bells please comment, all I know is that it was BEFORE the website featured games with Zack & Cody and Kim Possible. It was more disney cartoon films than anything related to the disney channel. I know it exists or did and would like some help
I think I know what you're talking about. I remember there was a Disney Villians area which would take you to the Wicked Queen's dungeon where her cauldron, spell book, and raven were. One main thing I remember doing on the site besides playing games was creating drawings and Disney sticker masterpieces sort of like kid pix.
theres a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards promo from 2014 that has been a burning but permanent memory on my mind forever by now. It features music that will be at the awards and Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball plays for a couple seconds except it's the cast of Sam and Cat singing it or from I remember it was specifically a character from the show named "Goomer" if any has any footage of the promo ad please tell me so I can finally have that off my mind
Sonic, I remember two pieces of lost media from ages ago I've been trying to spread the word about, but nobody has listened. I was wondering if I could tell you about them.
Honestly, so many pieces of lost media are just a matter of finding someone who happened to have a copy. JBVO, Pink Morning Cartoon, and Slamfest are probably perfect examples of that. Heck, Johnny Quasar had to be uploaded by the VA because the creators weren't even sure where they were! Also, the fact that the Nick Jr account called it "lost" really bugs me, since they know people want it but just won't release it. I don't even think there's any restrictions on having the rights to it, given that they actually showed clips of it, so there doesn't seem to be a reason to not release the full pilot. I don't necessarily know if it was anything malicious over just saying "people are looking for it, I'm sure they'd like to see some of the pilot", but it's still getting under my skin
The Burger King games for the CD-i reminds me of the lost McDonald's DS training game that only had about 1 or 2 confirmed copies. It was found and archived accordingly, however only had releases in Japan and did not have any credits or release dates. I hope the rest of the Burger King games show up somewhere.
But what if you have personal lost media? Like a song that probably everyone else knows about but you can't think of the name, lyrics or who sung it. Only that it's a woman singing it, the type of music is r&b and how the song starts and the "chorus". What I think she's singing is" how can trust when I've been hurt before? How can love when I've been on my own?" And the beginning sounds something like "sitting in my living room thinking about all those times" the woman singing has a slightly deep edge to her when singing. It's almost how Beyonce sounds when hitting the low notes. And I'm guessing it was from the late 80s to the early 2000's (like 2000- 2009)
I think there is a subreddit for that kinda thing. R/ ‘Tip of my tongue’ or something like that. I’m not sure of what that song could be, but maybe someone over there could help you.
@@Twinklethefox9022 You could always make a throwaway account, just for using it on that subreddit. I've done it before, and they were able to help me just fine. I'm not sure if that's what you were nervous about specifically, but I'd say it's worth giving it a shot.
I've seen threads on the forums that discuss personal lost media before and it even gets brought up in the discord server too. The community is really accepting of all kinds of lost media so don't let that prevent you from sharing it around.
Here’s some good news! The Sesame Street episode The Wicked Witch of the West has been found! It was posted on Reddit. I reuploaded it to my channel, and saved a copy to my computer in case the reuploads get taken down
Imagine growing up to be a hunter of lost media only to realize you had lost media with you the entire time
There's actually a whole thread on the forums that discusses lost media people used to have and it's crazy to read about everything that's been accidentally discarded over the years.

Like most shows based on music. Some of us prefer listening to the music rather than the shows that were based on.
After looking this up, I both remember this and don't at all
I've heard a lot about this topic in passing actually, if I ever make another lost children's show video or Playhouse Disney video (both of which I'm sure will happen) I'll add that to the topics.
My father had a Philips CDi when they were brand new, but he used it as a HI-FI system and never even knew it was a games console too.

There were a lot of weird animation shows then. I remember one about some hollywood producer, I think Sting was a recurring character or something.

@@Kkmzji yeah as well as Me and My Friends for Backyardigans. I wonder why the show switched from people in costumes to CGI animation when it came to the final show.
@@SuperDavidBrothers I think Nickelodeon should team up with the internet archive to add the 2 to the archive
Excellent! :D I'm so glad Sammy has finally been fully recovered, and is now archived for all too see! It's also great that we've gotten more information on the Super Why pilot! Hopefully we'll get more than just audio such as footage! There were was a clay-animation on JBVO before? Wow, I bet even fewer people knew that existed, but I am thrilled to see more things from this unfortunate very short-lived classic mini series! I do hope that Nickelodeon will finally release Blue Prints, Blue's Clue was one of my favorite educational shows growing up! Nice to see the Hamster Dance Christmas special has been saved after all these years! Here's hoping that more for the Burger King CD-i game will become more apparent later on! Can't wait for the next video! ^^
Sammy is a show that deserved better, I really enjoyed watching the episodes as they were released in chronological order
Great video as always! It's especially interesting to see a claymation segment on JBVO; I also think there might be other special things like made for JBVO that haven't been seen; the only other thing like it is the infamous DBZ request segment.
Another lost media topic including children's shows might be Jim Henson's Animal Jam. Someone told me about it a while back and I tried to find it, but it's not streaming anywhere and some episodes are lost aside from descriptions. Although apparently Tubi had it last year, they don't have it now. There's another Jim Henson show with a VERY similar name, but it's a completely different show.
i've vaguely heard of that before and it sounds really interesting! i'd guess it would probably be VERY hard to search for, at least in the beginning, because of the mmo with the same name.
@@zimternet It was pretty hard in the beginning but as long as I kept the Jim Henson part in, it helped. That being said, the search has hit a dead end at the moment because I am not good at talking to people.
I have a vhs tape of a cartoon called God the Devil and Bob and it’s like an early version with placeholders in the video. I bought it on eBay many years ago , not sure if it’s a lost media item. Let me know what you think
Not lost full thing on TH-cam
It aired on Adult Swim sometime around 2011 actually. Though funny enough, before it aired there most of the episodes were unaired in the US.
I never compared it to full aired videos it could have some parts that never aired , I am not sure. It was a test vhs version. Anyway I thought it was interesting
I say rip it if you can - sounds like its a rare version
@@Zulf85 agreed.
I was wondering if OP has an early episode. Or maybe one that was nearly completed, but never released and instead kept on a kind of demo tape. If So, could be worth a butt ton.
The entire pilot of Jeopardy from 1964 has been found. It was once on TH-cam then it was moved to Internet Archive.
Man, I can't imagine finding some old movie you have, saying "What ever happened with this, anyway?", googling it, and being greeted with the Lost Media search... I kinda wish that were me! gonna have to search through some old VHS tapes at some point
love the frequent uploads recently. please keep it up!
Will do! Got lots of new content already in the works.
I just found you and you're my new sleeping aid, in a good way. I've seen all of DYKGs hour compulations now you have so many. I love it
Ah yes I will make sure to watch the Hamster dance movie and Rapsittie Street Kids every Christmas now
Its so cool to see some new lost media🤩
That blue prints pilot is awesome to me, Blue’s Clues was my childhood
I can’t wait for Blue’s prints!
You mean the Blue Prints of Blue's Clues?
Excited to watch this.
Nice series, explained in a great manner. I hope that you will cover the Godspeed You! Black Emperor debut cassette that was found and released 27 years later, a holy grail for music fans!
yayy it made me so happy to see all of Sammy’s episodes be found ^.^
"if you've been watching my channel for the past year or so....." How about all the Years L,I remember I even "joined" the search for A day with SpongeBob on the wiki. Love the content man, keep it up! I listen to it on audio when I'm at work.
Love when my brudda blesses my evening with a video
I love Sammy. I became a “Sammyhead” as one of the other fans dubbed us. It’s funny as hell.
Finger crossed the “Saban Moon” pilot will en found this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Super glad that lost media community is bigger. More people to help!
Love this one! had no idea most of these had been found / partially recovered!
Yeah it's crazy just how frequently content can be found, especially certain searches that you think might take years to get ahold of!
Wait someone finally found something from Vic's Vacant Lot at 0:52? I had no idea until now. For a long time I think that's the only show in Nickelodeon's history that was completely lost to time. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in this video.
I like you videos i think they are very fascinating, to see people that are that dedeicated to dig up theses pieces of lost media.
Love this content for sure
The opening of this video gave me cold Chills. I almost thought you were going to say "num-ber fif-teeeen."
Love these!
Awww, pilot Super Why! looked adorable!
Yeah after seeing images of the pilot I kinda wish the final show went with that concept, I think it would have had a bigger place in children's show nostalgia.
I actually remember a possible lost media I remember as a kid, but i remember so little of it, probably not enough to go on. One of those "know it if I saw it" things.
Go on?
@@TheDanishGuyReviews all I remember was that it was a Halloween cartoon, and I think a group of kids had to try and find some sort of macguffin, and were aided by another kid who, at the end, the twist was they were a ghost. I was really little so who knows if I remember it
@@animefreddiemercury The Halloween Tree, on Cartoon Network.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews you might be right lemme check
@@TheDanishGuyReviews I'll have to watch to be sure but I think you're right. Guess not really a lost media thing, but certainly lost to me. Thanks! That was bugging me for years
It's like finding a hidden treasure and having a long lasting satisfying feel to it.
The 'Sammy' characters look like they are from 'As Told by Ginger'.
Lost media isn't a bad find. And first off I found a clip of the Mao Mao pilot
Is it on your channel?
@@muffin8460 Yes it is!
@@kailiahseekings thanks
That time Badgerclops was still called Bearclops?
@@agentkmr Yeah. And Adorabat switched between feminine and masculine pronouns but eventually settled on Adorabat being a female child who is 5 years old.
I really enjoyed Sammy and it's a shame it didn't get a proper chance. Idk if it would have reached the popularity shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy have. However, I think it was definitely enjoyable enough to have potenntially grown a fan base had it been given the chance to air properly.
I watched that Hamster Dance film at 2am like a day after it was found. Literally every character in it looks like a Board Certified Sleep Paralysis Demon
I seriously should do a watch party on stream sometime, I've only clicked around the video but I haven't heard particularly good things about it lol
Sammy looks like something that Klasky Cupo would make. It even jas that distinctive KC feel to it.
Also, I guess the only thing that came out of the Disney partnership deal with Hampton was that the song got to air on Radio Disney, as I remember hearing it there back in the day when my local Radio Disney station was still on the air.
great video
Here are some other possible differences between the pilot and final version of the series of Blue's Clues that we don't know about.
1. Sidetable Drawer probably wasn't sentient, as implied by Steve's dialogue when he gets his notebook out of his pocket.
2. Mailbox probably wasn't even in the pilot, because, if he was, we'd know it by now, because he would be right in front of the house, but, he isn't. But, I do think a character similar to him was in the pilot, possibly a mailman named Mike, who would deliver mail to the front door.
3. The elephants most certainly were not in the pilot, as they just feel like a last minute edition in the final version of the episode "Snack Time".
4. I think this was supposed to be the first time Steve met Blue, judging by the song "Can You Help Me Today?", and the first time Steve canonically played Blue's Clues, judging by his dialogue.
there was a recent post I saw about "Dork Hunters From Outerspace" if you ever look in to that.
I remember having what I think was a CDi Encyclopedia though it could be any Lazer disk system that I had. I remember it being a non-PC system that used CDs and was both education and had games
Also I know of a few lost medias many from very local productions or from school classes on video production. How interested would you be in videos that only existed mainly in one county of one part of one state?
I am completely unaware what "Dork Hunters From Outerspace" is until Mr. Enter made an Animated Atrocity video about it a few days ago.
@@collaterale1 Same, he even joked that it's so obscure, he could've been making it up and people wouldn't notice the difference
YOOOOO IM SO HAPPY THEY FOUND THE HAMPSTERDANCE MOVIE!! it was something i was looking for for 3 years at this point!! excited to watch it
nice video :)
I’m sorry they don’t make variety shows anymore. It would be a great way for new creators to cut their teeth, and indicate the animation companies actually cared about their fans.
I hope those other burger King discs are found.
Former Applebee’s server and key-holder from 1997-2011. Applebees also used the Philips CD-i for training.
I haven’t seen this referenced ever. Since it’s been over 10 years since I’ve even been inside an Applebees, I have no idea how to find these
If it hasn’t been thrown away it’s probably sitting in some office or closet at Applebees if I had to guess. Unfortunately you would have to find someone like a manager who would go look at their restaurant and would care enough to even try to find it.
Wow Burger King, Kmart and now Applebee's! I love how this rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper, thanks for letting me know more versions exist!
@@LSuperSonicQ No problem. The Quincy’s chain of buffets also did. I worked at both. It was…something 😂
Your vids are cool!
They know
Have you heard of a comic called attack of monkey kid? I saw this post on r/helpmefind about this comic from 1994 named attack of monkey kid. I personally wasn't able to find anything about it, so it might be lost media
It’s nice to know things don’t get lost forever.
Beautiful
Can you do lost PSAs and PIFs? Idk if there's any besides Hitogata but I'm very interested to see a video about them! Edit: there was actually one I saw on the tv tropes site about a missing domestic violence PSA from Portugal I think. It was called "And she lost hope". It was apparently a very graphic one but idk if it ever was aired. Never found it despite looking on their site
I love your channel thank you bye
Is there a way for me to join the wiki? I have some pretty old dvds that I'm sure is lost media
If I don't I'm just gonna help join the search
Since other people are doing it I will talk about this lost media I have failed to search for years.
It was a mod of Super Smash Bros Brawl that replaced Tabuu with a weird model of Marx, the music is Vs. Marx and the stage was changed to his original arena in Kirby Super Star. Marx's attacks were identical to Tabuu's but he lacks almost any animation, even for the shark blade where it was like Tabuu's but Marx was just dragged alongside it and the crystals in his wings. The only animation I remember is the Off Waves where he slowly spreads his wings and feet apart.
Also the player was Kirby with the default skin.
I wonder if there's something in the Blue's Clues pilot that Nick themselves no longer own the rights to
EDIT: I went and looked at the clips and noticed even in the clips where Blue is present she doesn't speak. it would probably be pretty hard to air a Blue's Clues episode if you didn't own the rights to Blue's voice anymore 🥸
Please tell me the Protegent cameo was intentional I'm CRYING
Most people actually know about Super Why because of that commercial so yeah it was intentional lol
This might be in the video for all I know, but do you know about the Nigel Thornberry's Animal World script?
Hey, I was wondering if you or anyone else can help me find this old Disney interactive website from the 2000s. It had different areas to explore like Hero's Stadium, where you'd meet Mulan and Hercules, or play a restaurant game with Stitch. If this rings any bells please comment, all I know is that it was BEFORE the website featured games with Zack & Cody and Kim Possible. It was more disney cartoon films than anything related to the disney channel. I know it exists or did and would like some help
I vaguely remember this. I used to play games on there as a kid.
I think I know what you're talking about. I remember there was a Disney Villians area which would take you to the Wicked Queen's dungeon where her cauldron, spell book, and raven were. One main thing I remember doing on the site besides playing games was creating drawings and Disney sticker masterpieces sort of like kid pix.
As someone who used to watch super why when i was a little kid (around 2-5 i think) i am very happy to see super why in this video. 10/10
theres a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards promo from 2014 that has been a burning but permanent memory on my mind forever by now. It features music that will be at the awards and Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball plays for a couple seconds except it's the cast of Sam and Cat singing it or from I remember it was specifically a character from the show named "Goomer"
if any has any footage of the promo ad please tell me so I can finally have that off my mind
Do those "claymation" segments in JBVO even count as claymation? The clay figures don't even move.
Sonic, I remember two pieces of lost media from ages ago I've been trying to spread the word about, but nobody has listened. I was wondering if I could tell you about them.
Nick Jr and that tease. That pissed me off 😂
Honestly, so many pieces of lost media are just a matter of finding someone who happened to have a copy. JBVO, Pink Morning Cartoon, and Slamfest are probably perfect examples of that. Heck, Johnny Quasar had to be uploaded by the VA because the creators weren't even sure where they were!
Also, the fact that the Nick Jr account called it "lost" really bugs me, since they know people want it but just won't release it. I don't even think there's any restrictions on having the rights to it, given that they actually showed clips of it, so there doesn't seem to be a reason to not release the full pilot. I don't necessarily know if it was anything malicious over just saying "people are looking for it, I'm sure they'd like to see some of the pilot", but it's still getting under my skin
Wicked City/Sam was also recently found. The only thing available for a while was the soundtrack. It had been lost for over 20 years
The one about the hamster dance movie was a welcome surprise, gonna share it with a friend that is fans of the hamster dance song
Where is that music in the background from in the Sammy segment? I've heard it in a few of your videos and it's stuck out to me a lot for some reason
YES! THEY FOUND THE HAMPSTERDANCE MOVIE
I'm amazed you haven't talked about Pigeon Boy yet
The Burger King games for the CD-i reminds me of the lost McDonald's DS training game that only had about 1 or 2 confirmed copies. It was found and archived accordingly, however only had releases in Japan and did not have any credits or release dates. I hope the rest of the Burger King games show up somewhere.
Are the Sammy video files available in their raw format? They could do with some upscaling.
But what if you have personal lost media? Like a song that probably everyone else knows about but you can't think of the name, lyrics or who sung it. Only that it's a woman singing it, the type of music is r&b and how the song starts and the "chorus". What I think she's singing is" how can trust when I've been hurt before? How can love when I've been on my own?" And the beginning sounds something like "sitting in my living room thinking about all those times" the woman singing has a slightly deep edge to her when singing. It's almost how Beyonce sounds when hitting the low notes. And I'm guessing it was from the late 80s to the early 2000's (like 2000- 2009)
I think there is a subreddit for that kinda thing. R/ ‘Tip of my tongue’ or something like that.
I’m not sure of what that song could be, but maybe someone over there could help you.
@@calypsofox6869 Yeah but I don't have a reddit account. And I'm a bit nervous to create one
@@Twinklethefox9022 You could always make a throwaway account, just for using it on that subreddit. I've done it before, and they were able to help me just fine.
I'm not sure if that's what you were nervous about specifically, but I'd say it's worth giving it a shot.
I've seen threads on the forums that discuss personal lost media before and it even gets brought up in the discord server too. The community is really accepting of all kinds of lost media so don't let that prevent you from sharing it around.
Here’s some good news! The Sesame Street episode The Wicked Witch of the West has been found! It was posted on Reddit. I reuploaded it to my channel, and saved a copy to my computer in case the reuploads get taken down
Now we can all get song stuck in our heads every Christmas
I'm guessing that a lot of this stuff can't be released because of legal reasons
