I always found that weird honestly. The manga and musicals had him have all of these powers and attacks basically making him Sailor Earth but in the old anime he’s just there. No hate I honestly find that kinda of hilarious but really at least let him use Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber every once in a while. 😂
We are officially in another timeline, thought this was lost forever. Thanks for all the promotions and videos about this, the lost media collective thanks you. 🌙

watching this intro without the laughter associated with the blurry camvideo feels like witchcraft to me: still amazed at your efforts and very proud of your achievement! Brings me hope for other cool media to be found
+SeafoamGaming Even before this, I was only stuck imagining to watch it without the laugh feels just like how I was supposed to be watching it now just as exactly it is I dreamed of.
I think you mean "entirely rational and justified people.'" Let's not kid ourselves for a single moment. While this does have immense historical value..... while it is great that this is thankfully preserved in the best quality possible.... and while this is absolutely a testament to a very fruitful and dedicated search for lost media.... And while none of us really question how important and what a fantastic find this is.... ....it's still pretty mind-blowingly stupid and rather objectively, and hilariously awful. Great find? Yes. Historically significant? Yes. Worth preservation? Yes. The result of an inspiring and very dedicated search? Yes. And horrendously awful? Also yes. Everything about this pilot was misguidedly terrible in it's concept and horrendously and bafflingly, abysmally insipid in it's execution. Half the reason it's so important to have found and preserved this is the same reason that history books record historical wars and tragedies. Because if we do not learn from history, then we are doomed to repeat it. And given the fact that things like the Live Action Cowboy Bebop Netflix series regrettably existed, we apparently still need this lesson to be reminded of. We must remember to never let anything like this ever happen again, if we can help it.
Whats cringiest is that was in the 90's when anime was niche and dubs skipped over tons of material. I assumed this was post 2010's laughter over how cheesy the show was. Kinda pathetic the more you think of it
My god *sigh* these laughs existed because of Toon Moon's cheesiness, as much as I wanted a clean version I wouldn't stop myself from laughing at some of Toon Moon moments tbh
Why is everybody saying this? He clearly does have a purpose in the Toon Makers episode, his rose allows Sailor Moon to make a stronger attack! It literally gives her magical energy or something. Also, he was not that useless in the anime, he freed Sailor Moon when she was being captured several times, and he sometimes could kinda fight (although not nearly as good as in the manga).
OH MY GOD. I am a lifelong moonie and have been ever since middle school. And let me tell ya, as a fan of cheesy Japanese anime Americanizations and sailor moon I was DYING to see this pilot once I heard of it. It bothered me so much that I actually wrote part of a script fic about it during my sophomore year. Never completed it, but I still have it on my wattpad to this day. Now I just started my first year of college, and this definitely gave me a massive pick me up because of how impossible I thought it was to find and yet how badly I wanted to watch it during my late middle and high school years. On behalf of similar sailor moon fans, I’d like to thank you so much for your work in finding and making this pilot accessible. It couldn’t have been easy. I honestly thought this day wouldn’t come, but it’s fitting that my high school era ends with something like this.
You should watch PGSM Sailor Moon. It's also a live action adaptation that ran for about 40 episodes, plus a "Wedding Special" (a sort of epilogue to the series).
+@@abbycollins Why you say god instead of gosh, say oh my gosh right? And I only read/heard it few years ago, not 2 decades ago like you, luckily that was a quick wait for me, since 2020 closer.
'Oh my God' is fine. Have a word with yourself. It's their language, their turn of phrase. Mind your manners. Especially when they are being respectful to work from ours. You can find the Live easily enough these days from online JP retailers. Finding one with subtitles can be problematic and communication a chore if you're not native but there are those serving as mediators, I've worked with them in the past, they'll be able to advise you. Just a case of searching around as I've not been involved in that side of industry since first stage. Others have done it on/via Reddit. So you shouldn't have much issue. Just ask around.
One thing we all have to remember, is this is a working demo, this was a single test reel and pilot episode meant to get greenlit for the actual show, yeah the art and animation is rough, but it was made on a shoestring budget, if it had been given the go-ahead, among retools, the quality of the actual show made from this would have been better for sure.
I'm not saying you're wrong. The actual animation probably would have been given a bump up. But it still would have been pretty crappy. This is not that many steps down from the final product.
This was just a Test Promo. During the Spring of 1994, it did air as an Interstitial on Various Syndicated Affiliates. Ultimately, DiC and TOEI worked out a Deal to simply dub Sailor Moon and bring it to the States for the Fall of '94, and Saban's Concept was scrapped.
Actually, Raven doesn't think it was by Ron Wasserman. I forgot the exact reasoning, but she thinks it's by the same composing team that did the music for The DiC dub
The things who i like most is the keyboard intro (magical) and the guitar hints here and there. Call me the attention in the lyrics, who are kinda accurate with the original story. Now we saw the entire prototype, the weird apparence of the first dolls have more sense: the Saban characters had different proportions, the faces were long, more occidental...they simply changed the face paint and the hair and conserved the original molds. A little theory, who i got right now.
I said it in the other vid. I'll say it here. I unironically want, at the very least, a 26 episode single season of this. Can someone find a time machine so I can make this happen?
Wow, I thought when I read the comments everyone would be making fun of this, but nope. A bunch of people are saying this. After so many years I finally feel ~seen~.
I first saw this via the old cam rip at in 2015 and I've always wanted it in its fullest quality since then. Thank you so, so much for finally unearthing it.
I spent way too much time trying to figure out the lyrics from the first upload from the con leak. Between the low quality and that guy laughing, it was basically impossible. Hearing it now, clear as day, is such a relief I'd never thought I'd get a chance to enjoy! This is awesome! A lost relic of the 90s!
I can’t believe this was found. I was amazed you found mean girls DS, and I’m once again amazed you’ve uncovered this.. sailor moon has been special to me since I was 13 and so has lost media. thank you so much for all your work & your channel!!!!
I'll just guess that Mirta was supposed to join the Winx and Bloom was originally going to have to watch Stella die or something. But I guess we won't know better until the REAL pilot for Winx Club is released.
The fact that I had expected to never see the full opening ever and now experiencing it right now feels like some weird dream. This is incredible!! Honestly, I wished they would've done more than the pilot cause I would've loved to have seen what direction the show would've gone in.
I vividly remembering seeing the Opening as a Promo on Paramount 20 back in March 1994. Literally, 6 months later, The Sailor Moon DiC Produced Westernized Anime debuted on USA Network, and this I thought was lost through time, until TODAY. Thank you, to the uploader!!!!
Seeing and hearing a clear version of this is so surreal… I’ve watched that anime convention recording (with the dude laughing his ass off) so many times. I remember first watching it with a friend over a decade ago and now here we are…
Raven, I have no words to thank you for this. It's such a huge relief having lived to see this mystery solved! And I'm liking this song way much more than I would dare to admit :) I would give you a big hug if I could, I'm so happy :) I'd totally watch Saban Moon if it was available. I'm so curious about what the five seasons would have looked like.
Once again Ray Mona. Thank you for all your hard work and investigation for tracking down both the pilot and this music video. It’s like catching a glimpse of an alternate reality in which the anime was never dubbed from DIC and we got this silly cheesy Americanized cartoon instead. I still wonder who the name of the actress is playing Venus. She’s absolutely gorgeous.
Awesome video 👍 I still can’t believe Sabon Moon is found!! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication and good job on your western world of sailor moon documentary’s
To be fair to this westernized version, the disability representation was good to see. A girl in a wheelchair, just dressed ordinary and dancing with her friends, having fun? Even today, not a whole lot of shows want to bring in disabled characters as anything more than talking points or background stock.
Just think about this.... There is an alternate dimension where THIS was the Sailor Moon the US ended up with, and the original english dub of the anime was lost media
Anyone low-key wishing now someone picks up the rights to do a live-action Sailor Moon but using the Power Rangers format like this show was gonna try to achieve? xD I can totally see this kinda thing airing on Nickelodeon hahaha TY Ray Mona for giving us a chance to live through this lost media, it feels surreal and it rocks!!
AHHHH thank you! This has been stuck in my head all these years. Never thought I’d see anything better than the OG one. The arm dancing at 1:57 still sends me.
I showed my mom this and explained that this was almost the Sailor Moon we got. Towards the end she started thanking God and walked out continuing to thank him.
I just discover your documentary both Part-1&2 and I was really surprised this lost media of the original Americanized Sailor Moon was finally found in 2022 today that's crazy to me.
This is great seeing the intro much clearer rather than though someone's camera. When it comes to the song itself, I think you did a much better job with your cover. Also, I just want to point out that footage from the ending of E.T. was used at 0:57.
I am showing the pilot to two girls I babysit for. I recently got them into the DIC dub (yes, they’ve seen the Viz dub, too). I look forward to them seeing this version!!
Thank you for taking this clip. It has been stuck in my head since your documentary came out. 😅 As always, a huge thank you for finding this clean footage. You have done a HUGE service for the Sailor Moon fan community. Please, link your Patreon! We need to pay you for that work!
It's pretty rare to find live action, hand drawn animation, and CGI all in the same production, especially one of this age. The CGI transformation isn't even bad by early 90s standards, even without considering that this is basically ashcan.
The intro for this honestly has no right being so damn catchy, but here we are. Also, it's so nice to finally see this without the shaky footage and some guy (rightfully though) laughing throughout the entire thing.
what the heck did I just see, lol! thanks for allowing us to see what could have been... kinda glad it didn't happen cause.... wow. but still, nice to have this documented!
Starring: Stephanie Decker as Victoria/Sailor Moon Mindy Cowan as Kendall(I renamed her from their original name, Blue)/Sailor Mercury Dani Delacey as Dana/Sailor Mars Tami Adrian George as Sarah/Sailor Jupiter Unknown Latina Actress as Carrie/Sailor Venus Melendy Britt as Luna Adrienne Barbeau as Queen Serenity and Queen Beryl
There’s a certain special sadness that overpowers you when you know that, being twelve at the time, you would have watched this and enjoyed it has this made it to air. It would have been 4:00 in the afternoon, you’d have been tired and hungry and longing to chuck your math workbook right in the kitchen trash and this would have been on. You’d have had no resistance. None at all. 😂😂😂 Thanks for uploading. Sad, really. You can tell there was at least some effort thrown at this. Thank goodness for the Library of Congress!
1:51 *Ah, the 90's... Where you could really do these dances without fear of ending up on the internet, becoming MeMe or ending up on TikTok.* 😂 *And says the legend, SAILOR MOON wasn't the only anime to turn live-action in the 90s. They say SAINT SEIYA also became a live-action in the 90's lost in time... He was even the first to turn the character Shun, into a woman (long before Netflix). It's just rumours, I don't know if it's true. I read an article about when they announced that SAILOR MOON live-action from the 90's, had been made available on the internet. But have you ever wondered if it's true.* 😁
Dear lord, they were really phoning it in with the windsurfing and ships. "Don't you see, fellow board members? It's SAILOR Moon. Get it? Because she's a SAILOR?"
Dear gods so glad this did not happen. Sailor moon is my favorite anime of all time. Being the huge fan that I am I could not see that happening if we got this ..tho I must say I have 2 rooms in my house for sailor moon merch alone so if we did end up getting this I would have 2 extra rooms in my house since I would not be so dedicated to sailor moon merch
@@JarethTheGoblinKingForever lol you wont be in collage forever.. and yeah 2 rooms i been collecting sailor moon merch since i was a youngling. Have a lot of time and money in it. My only other collection that comes close to the size of my sailor moon collection would be my harley quinn collection then in 3rd is my chun-li collection
Totally feel like this is a "New Coke" scenario: The mistake wasn't making the Americanized version, the mistake was thinking it had to be that or the DIC dub.
Honestly, if there's one way to describe the Toonmakers version of Sailor Moon, it's that it looks like a typical 80s cartoon made just to sell toys. And also, Sailor Moon in this looks like a blatant She-Ra knock-off.
Not gonna lie, for something this old, I can respect that this is the 90s nostalgia thing, but when it comes to the US trying to also make a live cartoon style of sailor Moon, makes me wanna stick to the original Japanese version, my opinion though, cause this is too cheesy for my taste
![ทุกครั้งที่หลับตา (Lucid Dream) - AYLA's [ Official MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4i1OBAQyv58/mqdefault.jpg)
I like how Tuxedo Mask is very on character by doing nothing except popping up and providing emotional support like in the original anime
His work is done.
I always found that weird honestly. The manga and musicals had him have all of these powers and attacks basically making him Sailor Earth but in the old anime he’s just there. No hate I honestly find that kinda of hilarious but really at least let him use Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber every once in a while. 😂
🌹ROSE!
me too, he’s like tux wearing cosplayer
@@calebgoodman3028 I like it because it was a girl power show. He never had to do anything but look pretty, get rescued, and provide support
You have literally made Sailor Moon history and people will remember this for a long time.
I had no idea this existed until today. And I watched the original series when it was on USA network
We are officially in another timeline, thought this was lost forever. Thanks for all the promotions and videos about this, the lost media collective thanks you. 🌙
I still can't believe this was found. Man 2022 has been an absolutely amazing year for finding lost media
We found the Wicked Witch episode of Sesame Street this year. What else folks?
@@pchound5962 the lost short animation of Shrek 💀
True
@@pchound5962 the pilot episode of Jeopardy that's been lost since like the 50s or 60s
Duke Nukem Forever 2001, Wicked Witch from Sesame Street, Chris Farley's Shrek and now Saban Moon.
2022 is the "Snyder Cut of the Lost Media".
Lyrics:
She looks like an angel
Flying higher than a bird
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
She's got a life in the sky
And another here on Earth
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
Her talking cat Luna
Gives her advice
The Princess Fighters
Stand by her side!
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
Sometimes she's a fun-loving
Sixteen-year-old girl
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
Other times she's a superhero
For the world
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
She can get dressed up
And look so sweet
Then morph into a force
That can't be beat!
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
She's ready to fight
For all that she believes
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
She's gonna stop evil forces
And save the galaxy
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
She and her four
Princess Fighter friends
Are gonna crush crime
Time and again!
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON!
SAILOR! SAILOR MOON
Thanks I was having trouble processing the lyrics
This is WAYYY too catchy omg I've been singing this to myself all day 😭
I'm right there with you. The lyrics are so bad, but it's an ear worm.
Never thought I’d live to see a high quality version of this, ever!
You did amazing work hunting this down! You won a subscriber.
Not just high quality, but without this guy laughing at the background
@@lyricaltockareff I laughed for him! This is pure gold find!
Every actual archaelogist who has gone through several yeaars of archaelogy courses has gone really quiet now since Ray digged out Saban moon
watching this intro without the laughter associated with the blurry camvideo feels like witchcraft to me: still amazed at your efforts and very proud of your achievement! Brings me hope for other cool media to be found
+SeafoamGaming Even before this, I was only stuck imagining to watch it without the laugh feels just like how I was supposed to be watching it now just as exactly it is I dreamed of.
Righttt this feels kinda illegal to watch without the laughter 😂
Speaking of the video with the awkward laughter, what happened to that video that I can't find it now?? (XD).
Finally a clean and HD version of this opening without fanboys snickering over it.
I think you mean "entirely rational and justified people.'"
Let's not kid ourselves for a single moment. While this does have immense historical value..... while it is great that this is thankfully preserved in the best quality possible.... and while this is absolutely a testament to a very fruitful and dedicated search for lost media.... And while none of us really question how important and what a fantastic find this is....
....it's still pretty mind-blowingly stupid and rather objectively, and hilariously awful. Great find? Yes. Historically significant? Yes. Worth preservation? Yes. The result of an inspiring and very dedicated search? Yes. And horrendously awful? Also yes. Everything about this pilot was misguidedly terrible in it's concept and horrendously and bafflingly, abysmally insipid in it's execution.
Half the reason it's so important to have found and preserved this is the same reason that history books record historical wars and tragedies. Because if we do not learn from history, then we are doomed to repeat it. And given the fact that things like the Live Action Cowboy Bebop Netflix series regrettably existed, we apparently still need this lesson to be reminded of. We must remember to never let anything like this ever happen again, if we can help it.
I honestly wish they could do a reaction of the pilot
@Smash 123 Giggling / Laughing in a judgmental way.
Whats cringiest is that was in the 90's when anime was niche and dubs skipped over tons of material. I assumed this was post 2010's laughter over how cheesy the show was. Kinda pathetic the more you think of it
My god *sigh* these laughs existed because of Toon Moon's cheesiness, as much as I wanted a clean version I wouldn't stop myself from laughing at some of Toon Moon moments tbh
I’m sorry this song is a hit and I’m not gonna pretend it isn’t…..
sounds better than the dubbed version OP.
I feel like I live in an alternate dimension where Sailor Moon was an American product instead of a Japanese one.
Right?! It feels so weird!
I mean if you want to continue this train of thought you should watch buffy the vampire slayer. Its basically the american sailor moon
Like in the actual source material Tuxedo Mask also does nothing in this pilot.
Pretty accurate I must say.
Source material lets him fight with powers and attacks too though? Unless you mean the anime adaptation then yeah they made him much weaker.
@@calebgoodman3028 the source material for this was the anime. The people who made this didn't read the manga
So you mean the 90s anime and not the manga right ? 🤔
@D's Animation Yard Kind of is :P
Why is everybody saying this? He clearly does have a purpose in the Toon Makers episode, his rose allows Sailor Moon to make a stronger attack! It literally gives her magical energy or something.
Also, he was not that useless in the anime, he freed Sailor Moon when she was being captured several times, and he sometimes could kinda fight (although not nearly as good as in the manga).
The scene of the girls dancing down the hallway always gets a chuckle out of me. 😅
It’s classic 90s cheese. I suspect that, had this been picked up, we’d have gotten a different version of the theme.
@@PeachWookiee ha ha ha ha haaaaa manly laughts
I can't help but find it's overly 90's cheesiness really endearing
Wow... that was pretty nostalgic to watch, despite this being my first time. Its very 90s and catchy. Thank you for sharing this opening.
Cut back on the studying a bit Ami! You've got this!

Ok but for a pilot with no budget this is not bad and pretty detailed. I think everyone is expecting like marvel quality VFX this was the early 90s
I don't care what anyone says, this slaps.
You're killing it Ray! Thank you so much for this! It's like I'm experience nostalgia for something I never had. Kinda trippy really...

Mmm... nah, probably not. It was the 90s, the Golden Age of "so bad it's good". Look at Power Rangers.
Nah, in the 90's the americans were already outsourcing their animation to cheap korean studios, it would definitely been inferior to the 90's anime
@@0047sssss well they never said better than the 90s anime just better than this
I'm not saying you're wrong. The actual animation probably would have been given a bump up. But it still would have been pretty crappy. This is not that many steps down from the final product.
This was just a Test Promo. During the Spring of 1994, it did air as an Interstitial on Various Syndicated Affiliates. Ultimately, DiC and TOEI worked out a Deal to simply dub Sailor Moon and bring it to the States for the Fall of '94, and Saban's Concept was scrapped.
The electric guitar is the best part, but then again it's no surprise from the composer of Power Rangers.
Actually, Raven doesn't think it was by Ron Wasserman. I forgot the exact reasoning, but she thinks it's by the same composing team that did the music for The DiC dub
+Game Hero 0:13 I like that part then a guitar.
What about you, do you like twinkly or synthesizer music?
@@Kawayoporu Yes, I very much do
Wait, this was composed by Ron Wasserman?
That would explain a lot.
I was thinking it could be Bob Summers and his team (based on the drum work and backing track styles) 🤔
It's eerie to load a TH-cam vid and have it say "No views". *Waves to everyone else who's subbed w/notification bell to this very deserving channel*
The things who i like most is the keyboard intro (magical) and the guitar hints here and there. Call me the attention in the lyrics, who are kinda accurate with the original story.
Now we saw the entire prototype, the weird apparence of the first dolls have more sense: the Saban characters had different proportions, the faces were long, more occidental...they simply changed the face paint and the hair and conserved the original molds. A little theory, who i got right now.
I now eagerly await the ensuing Saban sailor scout group cosplays at upcoming cons.
“Her talking cat Luna gives her advice” *shows a cat that looks like Artemis*
Luna cat was male in portugal
I think Toon Makers changed Luna into a white cate believing them to be pure and feminine. Artemis was likely going to be a male black cat
I guess they tried to make Luna and Artemis into one cat.
Luna the Name and Artemis a white cat.
I said it in the other vid. I'll say it here.
I unironically want, at the very least, a 26 episode single season of this.
Can someone find a time machine so I can make this happen?
I would love every minute of it!!
I'd watch it for sure, but I don't know if it would be any good.
We need cross-universe travel for this very reason lol
At a minimum, however many it would take to complete the "Negaforce" arc.
Wow, I thought when I read the comments everyone would be making fun of this, but nope. A bunch of people are saying this. After so many years I finally feel ~seen~.

Finally! A clearer version of this video without a guy laughing throughout it. Never thought I'd live to see the day this would surface up.
This feels even more like "Filmation Sailor Moon" in standard def.
Ok, I’m not gonna lie, this SLAPS
Animation is trash and the rest is just incredibly cheesy live action, but god I love the song 👍
Ngl I Actually like this Intro. It feels so Nostalgic and very Catchy. I'm glad this Lost pilot has finally been Found.
I can’t believe this was found. I was amazed you found mean girls DS, and I’m once again amazed you’ve uncovered this.. sailor moon has been special to me since I was 13 and so has lost media. thank you so much for all your work & your channel!!!!
Now it is time to find Magic Bloom, the lost Winx Club pilot episode. 🧚♂
Yeeeess, absolutely please😍
I totally agree
That would be simply awsome 🔥🌟🌻🎵💡💧
I'll just guess that Mirta was supposed to join the Winx and Bloom was originally going to have to watch Stella die or something. But I guess we won't know better until the REAL pilot for Winx Club is released.

To be fair to this westernized version, the disability representation was good to see. A girl in a wheelchair, just dressed ordinary and dancing with her friends, having fun? Even today, not a whole lot of shows want to bring in disabled characters as anything more than talking points or background stock.
And having a battlestation
I’ve wanted this for so long! Thank you! ^__^
I wonder what chibiusa and characters like sailor Neptune Uranus, and Saturn would of looked like.
Just think about this.... There is an alternate dimension where THIS was the Sailor Moon the US ended up with, and the original english dub of the anime was lost media
that's a terrifying idea
Holy cow, I'm still in awe you actually found it!! Amazing!
Anyone low-key wishing now someone picks up the rights to do a live-action Sailor Moon but using the Power Rangers format like this show was gonna try to achieve? xD I can totally see this kinda thing airing on Nickelodeon hahaha TY Ray Mona for giving us a chance to live through this lost media, it feels surreal and it rocks!!
This and the intro of Guardians of the cosmos are lowkey 🔥, catchy as every corny intro of the 90s 😅
FINALLY! A high quality version!
AHHHH thank you! This has been stuck in my head all these years. Never thought I’d see anything better than the OG one. The arm dancing at 1:57 still sends me.
I showed my mom this and explained that this was almost the Sailor Moon we got. Towards the end she started thanking God and walked out continuing to thank him.
I just discover your documentary both Part-1&2 and I was really surprised this lost media of the original Americanized Sailor Moon was finally found in 2022 today that's crazy to me.
This is great seeing the intro much clearer rather than though someone's camera. When it comes to the song itself, I think you did a much better job with your cover. Also, I just want to point out that footage from the ending of E.T. was used at 0:57.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) is from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment.
@@Naminski1a I knew that.
I am showing the pilot to two girls I babysit for. I recently got them into the DIC dub (yes, they’ve seen the Viz dub, too). I look forward to them seeing this version!!
did this ever happen?? what were their reactions??
Thank you for taking this clip. It has been stuck in my head since your documentary came out. 😅 As always, a huge thank you for finding this clean footage. You have done a HUGE service for the Sailor Moon fan community. Please, link your Patreon! We need to pay you for that work!
Ok but this is catchy AF
Thank you so much for this!!!! 8D
Awesome I was wondering if you were going to upload this separately 🥰 thanks again big sis
It's pretty rare to find live action, hand drawn animation, and CGI all in the same production, especially one of this age. The CGI transformation isn't even bad by early 90s standards, even without considering that this is basically ashcan.
Mid-'90s.
The intro for this honestly has no right being so damn catchy, but here we are. Also, it's so nice to finally see this without the shaky footage and some guy (rightfully though) laughing throughout the entire thing.
what the heck did I just see, lol! thanks for allowing us to see what could have been... kinda glad it didn't happen cause.... wow. but still, nice to have this documented!
I never thought we would all see direct captured footage of the toon makers sailor moon 🌙 intro and pilot episode 😀
Starring:
Stephanie Decker as Victoria/Sailor Moon
Mindy Cowan as Kendall(I renamed her from their original name, Blue)/Sailor Mercury

Tami Adrian George as Sarah/Sailor Jupiter
Unknown Latina Actress as Carrie/Sailor Venus
Melendy Britt as Luna
Adrienne Barbeau as Queen Serenity and Queen Beryl
Good thing DIC decide the anime in the US instead.
There’s a certain special sadness that overpowers you when you know that, being twelve at the time, you would have watched this and enjoyed it has this made it to air. It would have been 4:00 in the afternoon, you’d have been tired and hungry and longing to chuck your math workbook right in the kitchen trash and this would have been on. You’d have had no resistance. None at all. 😂😂😂
Thanks for uploading. Sad, really. You can tell there was at least some effort thrown at this. Thank goodness for the Library of Congress!
You really did an awesome job finding this very lost gem of this. I’d definitely gonna check out the documentary on this one.
this makes me look forward to the next thing you find. it's almost like a lost digital buried treasure hunt.
Thank you so much for uploading this! I'll check the documentary, as well.

*Ah, the 90's... Where you could really do these dances without fear of ending up on the internet, becoming MeMe or ending up on TikTok.* 😂
*And says the legend, SAILOR MOON wasn't the only anime to turn live-action in the 90s. They say SAINT SEIYA also became a live-action in the 90's lost in time... He was even the first to turn the character Shun, into a woman (long before Netflix). It's just rumours, I don't know if it's true. I read an article about when they announced that SAILOR MOON live-action from the 90's, had been made available on the internet. But have you ever wondered if it's true.* 😁
Wish they released this ! Need to bring this back on to dvd
A surprise banger of a song, even though I will always prefer Moonlight Densetsu
Dear lord, they were really phoning it in with the windsurfing and ships.
"Don't you see, fellow board members? It's SAILOR Moon. Get it? Because she's a SAILOR?"
Glad you posted it.
The one time the dub and the sub are the superior versions.
Awesome I just love that this was finally found 😀 and a clean version
Dear gods so glad this did not happen. Sailor moon is my favorite anime of all time. Being the huge fan that I am I could not see that happening if we got this ..tho I must say I have 2 rooms in my house for sailor moon merch alone so if we did end up getting this I would have 2 extra rooms in my house since I would not be so dedicated to sailor moon merch
Both versión could coexist
@@RolandTemplar they could but look how awful this looks would you really want them to?
2 rooms for Sailor Moon merch? As a basement-dwelling college student living with my parents, I'm super-jealous. 😅
@@JarethTheGoblinKingForever lol you wont be in collage forever.. and yeah 2 rooms i been collecting sailor moon merch since i was a youngling. Have a lot of time and money in it. My only other collection that comes close to the size of my sailor moon collection would be my harley quinn collection then in 3rd is my chun-li collection
Totally feel like this is a "New Coke" scenario: The mistake wasn't making the Americanized version, the mistake was thinking it had to be that or the DIC dub.
Today is the day the American Sailor Moon was uploaded today after being found.
This would make a great aerobics track 😊
😂 точно
Honestly, if there's one way to describe the Toonmakers version of Sailor Moon, it's that it looks like a typical 80s cartoon made just to sell toys.
And also, Sailor Moon in this looks like a blatant She-Ra knock-off.
Son: Mom,can we have Sailor Moon in our home?
His mother: We have Sailor Moon in our home.
Sailor Moon at their home:
Not gonna lie, for something this old, I can respect that this is the 90s nostalgia thing, but when it comes to the US trying to also make a live cartoon style of sailor Moon, makes me wanna stick to the original Japanese version, my opinion though, cause this is too cheesy for my taste
And they did sailor mars dirty on this one
We all need to get down on our knees and thank God for making it so we didn't have to grow up with this
Good thing these never greenlighted.
There she is! Ray Mona is truly the Light of Feminine Lost Media!
this opening was pretty catchy honestly
Been waiting for this😍😍 thank youu!!
Well lets be honest, without this rendition of it; we would not have the sailor moon we have now
Just Got Notified!
I'm glad this was found and even more thankful this never took off.
This is hella catchy imo!
0:44 1:03 - these scenes aren't included in pilot. Earlier it was mentioned as 17 minutes long, so they might belong to those 7 minutes more footages.
You know the pilot would work better if it was fully animated.
Yeah but then it wouldn’t be saban moon ya know? What’s the point of JUST reanimating it? This was based off power rangers approach.
Thank you for uploading the intro. This has been stuck in my head ever since the documentary.
