Funny I should watch this video now, because recently (just yesterday in fact) it was announced that Figment would be part of the line-up of racers in Disney Speedstorm. That's a pretty deep cut, if I'm being honest, but it's definitely appreciated! I love when Disney digs deep like this for their modern games/TV shows/movies/etc.
There used to be an MMO called "Toontown Online". Based on both the Toontown in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, as well as Mickey's Toontown in Disneyland. Basically put, it was a turn-based RPG where you fought robots themed after businessmen stereotypes (Yes men, penny pushers, bean counters, you get the picture). Oh. And your attacks were all stuff you'd see in typical slapstick cartoons. Like cream pies, anvils, and banana peels. It was up from 2003, and then shut down in 2013 because Disney wanted to put all thier focus on Club Penguin (and we all know how well that went). There's a few private servers you can check out if you're curious, though. Toontown Rewritten's a popular one, but the playerbase is slowly dwindling.
_Dreamfinders_ sounds absolutely charming, and it's a shame that it was a casualty of network politics. Disney, if you ever needed new original children's programming for Disney+...
The Mouse Factory was a series I watched as a kid and I remember it being on Sunday nights. Thank you so much for taking the time to look for lost media... and to warn us about videos we would be better off avoiding.
Thank you! I love getting to do voices for these videos, although I feel it's a little hard for them not to seem kind of shoehorned in sometimes. As long as people like them, though, I'll try to squeeze some more in.
Thank you! I feel like a good portion of Lost Media has been covered pretty thoroughly already by others, but I'm happy I managed to highlight a few here.
@@ColinLooksBackIt's a shame that the mouse factory was kind of cheesy because if disney is known one thing, their movies and attractions are anything but cheesy❤
I also used to watch "K-Mouse" as a kid. Today on TH-cam, I can watch video of any Disney theme park or attraction in the world, but back then, shows like this were one of the few ways to see video of Disneyland for fans like me.
these are always so educational and such a deep dive, thank you for taking the time and the effort to put together a series that is consistently incredibly well done and so much fun!
I once remember reading that they were planning some sort of Adventures in the Magic Kingdom cartoon series, and I just couldn't remember if the thing actually went to pilot or not. Also can't remember if it was supposed to be in conjunction with the video game.
Oh yeah. I could totally see it being a precursor to House of Mouse, having various Disney characters interacting. I don't know how far it got to development, but they say TMS was attached to animate, so I could imagine it having the same not quite anime, not quite Western style some episodes of Ducktales and Rescue Rangers had. I could only imagine what episodes would be like, maybe Disney Villains would take over parts of the park or something.
I Am Interested in more episodes of this Series i have some Ideas Lost Media: Muppets Edition Lost Media: Amitronics Edition Lost Media: Disney Non-Theme Parks Edition
I used to watch "The Mouse Factory" on The Disney Channel as a child in the 80s and wanted an attraction based on it in my Armchair Imagineered theme park.
that dream finder show sounds like The Phantom Tollbooth. other things I remember mousercise, mickey's 60th birthday, Donald duck's birthday, The Muppets at Walt Disney World ,an episode of Full House, an episode of Roseanne and then there re things filmed at Universal The Wizard nd the 1990 Earth Day Special.
I remember watching those episodes of The Mouse Fact when they were on those vintage Disney Channel compilation VHS tapes I rent when I was very young. If we can get The Muppet show on Disney+, then why not asking them to include The Mouse Factory?
i'd never heard of any of these before, but now i want to see more mouse factory so bad!! i wish disney would release some of their lost media on disney plus
i always wished the dreamfinders show would've gotten made, it would've been so cool to have a tv show with original park characters. there was actually a figment show made with live action kids and an animated figment but i don't think it was for tv, i think it might've just been on vhs. it's pretty weird though because some of the episodes feature other disney characters like alice interacting with the animated figment.
I know which one you're talking about. They were edutainment shorts produced for classroom use starring Figment. I watched the Blue Potato one long ago on here, here's what I could find of it: th-cam.com/video/FagsA0KgcFw/w-d-xo.html Another one about reading, evidently starring Peter Pan: th-cam.com/video/r58Rv-mvHm0/w-d-xo.html Apparently all of them are available on TH-cam in a playlist, but I won't spoil the fun of that discovery here. Perhaps though, Colin might do a video about them in future!
OMG "Dreamfinder" is strongly referenced in South Park 3-part episode "Imaginationland". If you look at pictures of both shows, you'll see the obvious connections
We had at least one K-Mouse episode taped when I was a kid. If I recall, the plot involved Merlin cursing Morty to teleport randomly into various parts of Disneyland, before taking pity on him and lifting the curse. Unfortunately, Morty, was atop the Matterhorn at the time, and Merlin left him to get down on his own just to be a dick. Wish we had held on to those video tapes.
Actually, toontown kids was actually Mickey's Toontown. I remember seeing clips of this in my childhood but this was at a time that 7:30 AM was the time I had to get ready for the school bus.
I had totally forgotten about K-Mouse! I think I've got some old VHS's with K-Mouse taped from TV on them. I know I watched some of the episodes many times as a kid. I need to figure out how to get the footage off of them and onto a computer.
The only episode I've seen is the Phyllis Diller episode, but I loved it. Also loved the version of Minnie's Yoo-Hoo for the ending credits. Because of when it was made and the format, it seems like something I must have imagined.
One Video I Found (Which is About Aliens and Space) Had Donald Duck Joining The Guest Star Alien on a Journey. Giving us a Reason Why Donald Appeared in the Damsel in Distress Mock Story.
@@justint8851 Honestly, I do not. It's an interesting concept, but I think it's for the best that it didn't happen in the way Walt originally envisioned.
@@ColinLooksBack you think so I mean yeah, I agree it's a neat idea, but it was a little too ambitious but I don't think he meant anything bad when he thought it up I always feel like if Walt where John Hammond (movie Hammond not book Hammond) Epcot would be his Jurassic Park
@@ColinLooksBack I compare it to Jurassic Park because from what I heard about it seemed like this was Walt saying movies and theme parks are fun and all but now he wanted to show them something that wasn't an illusion you know what I mean?
In your Villain Lookback i have 3 questions 1 is Treasure Planet and Brother Bear going to share a video like Dumbo and Bambi ? 2 Will Mars Needs Mom and Vallient be covered long with Studio Gibi like Kiki and Ponyo 3 Will TV show villains NOT based from a movie be featured like Nega Duck , Dr Draken , Bill Cipher , Toffe and Grime ?
i don't think he going to talk about studio ghibli villains since those movies are only translated and distributed by disney and not made by it, and of the tv show villains he will probably talk about nagaduck since he will do a video about ducktales villains so doing one about darkwing duck's seems natural
Do you know if Disney did actually produce dreamfinder TV show then we wouldn’t have the really BAD refurbishment version of journey into your imagination with figment
You know this song th-cam.com/video/4WG78nl2LDs/w-d-xo.html can easily fit later villains like Amos Slade Fox and the Hound , Long John Silver ,Tresure Planet Bower Hat Guy Meet the Robinson's and Yokai Big Hero 6 mostly following the tv series to show that antagonists are not just ruthless card carrying villains

Nice job choosing Mario Galaxy music for this video. It matches the obscurity and curiosity searching for lost media produces
Great job on this video! You should totally do more lost media episodes! I love the whacky moments with the Donald and Goofy walk around characters!

The mouse factory keeps popping up on TH-cam but it keeps getting copyrighted.
Interesting!
You should talk about other lost media!
I bet Disney has all of these lost media
Why is it lost
Going June 2oth to disneyland
