I have a bit of "new" lost media. I am a Ninja Turtle collector, and several years ago I was collecting the Kawaii Cubes for the TMNT. I was able to purchase 3 of them in various stores like Walmart and Walgreens. Eventually I stopped seeing them, and was not able to get the final turtle (Michelangelo). I searched eBay for a long time with no avail. I then decided to email the creators of Kawaii Cubes, asking if they had a Michelangelo they would sell me. A person replies and said yes they do, and to send them my home address. It sounded a bit sketchy, but I decided to give them my address anyway. To my surprise, I received Michelangelo for free through the mail, along with a Bebop Kawaii Cube. I emailed back to say thanks and also ask about the Bebop one. Apparently, before ending the series, Bebop and Rocksteady were slated for release, but only a few dozen were sold at SDCC. And the one sent to me was being used a cubicle decoration. There are literally no images of Bebop or Rocksteady online, and there's especially nobody selling them. So now it's my lifelong duty to get Rocksteady to complete my set!
HE'S BACK! I just discovered this channel a few months ago and thought he was no longer active after 10 months, but with another video posted only 10 minutes ago, I'm happy to see PatMac return. :)
Finally, a lost media channel that talks normally about the topic! The deep scary voices and spooky music were getting grating- I just want to hear about Spongebob
I yelled "oh fuck!" out loud! Your content is so comforting to me, it's like the conversations I wish I could've had with people growing up, and to have a new video from you makes my heart so full. I hope the time away has been good to you, man, welcome back. I have to add, after getting to the ending, always appreciating the heart and honesty you bring to these videos. They'll always have a purpose and I am so grateful for that, thank you for coming back with this video, man. Thank you for everything!
Not only has PatMac Returned, he has returned with a thumbnail that has the likes of Luigi from the episode with the iconic line "Mama Luigi". This is truly an event like no other.
The idea of the Red Mist Squidward being changed into something else like you said is such a genius idea. 20 years from now the kids who saw it will be searching for that one Spongebob episode with the Squidward jumpscare face but will only find the newer version leading to confusion and questioning.
Fun Fact: There’s an unreleased Director’s Cut of the 2005 Blue Sky animated film, Robots. According to Chris Wedge on the DVD commentary for said film with co-producer, William Joyce, he frequently teased (and even confirmed) that a Director’s Cut exists, and he also wanted to release it. It’s unknown if this version will ever be released, thanks to Disney shutting down Blue Sky Studios in April of 2021.
I was always slightly-scared of the Rocket Power intro having “evil” characters as a kid and no one ever believed me. Thank you for the confirmation, that yes, the characters were different looking in some shots!
Whenever somebody talks about lost media, i always think of this Italian cartoon produced around 2008 called Pet Pals. Excluding the 3D-animated reboot of the serie, which is more recent than the of it, there're 104 episodes divided into 4 series. Thanks to the incredibly poor efforts even by the producers to archive the series, fifty episodes haven't been found yet. I personally take credit for ripping almost 30 episodes of the ones available on the internet. Finding the remaining episodes has become my personal lost media quest
Plus, I also vividly remember in 2010 official plushies were released, but they’re incredibly hard to come by since they were exclusive to Q8 petrol stations. These plushies are somehow even more obscure than the series itself, I’ve found so far only a single picture of one of them (they’re six in total) thanks to the facebook page of a flea market
@@minda7879 (everything i'm about to say only applies to the original Italian dub of the cartoon) There's a different answer for each season Season 1 (26/26): All the episodes are still available on a few very dodgy streaming websites Season 2: (21/26): This series (along with the 1st one) was released on DVD, i found (and bought) on ebay four DVDs out of five, i haven't been able to find dvd no.2 yet Season 3 (3/26): I digitised several VHS tapes containing several morning cartoons aired around 2010 on RAI 2 and found three episodes of this season Season 4 (4/26): The first four episodes of this season are still on the official channel of the company who made the show, but trust me they were incredibly hard to find due to that channel having over five thousand videos excluding the episodes season 1, i've uploaded everything i've found so far here on youtube (not on this channel tho, on a secondary one)
I find lost media sad, haunting, and scary at the same time. Sad because of how much stuff gets forgotten, haunting because of how it feels like something forbidden, and scary it reminds us of how, eventually, everything will be forgotten and be labeled as lost media.
There's a show in my country that's basically on its way to becoming lost media. Dozens of episodes were uploaded to TH-cam but with time passing, more and more episodes get deleted from the platform.
Just wanted to mention that two episodes of As Told By Ginger, a show produced in the early 2000s, premiered THIS YEAR when the show was added to Paramount+, and it wasn't the first time a gap of many years was between episodes of the series, as what was assumed to be the last unaired episodes released in the mid-2010s, and even then outside of the US.
Sorry if this sounds cheesy - your videos feel very safe and comfortable to me and I find myself revisiting them often to listen to while I work, sleep, or through a genuine interest in the subject (oftentimes brought about by the passion you have for the subjects you talk about). I go back to college next week and I'm terrified for many, many reasons. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's nice to have a new video of yours to add to my comfort TH-cam videos :)
same boat as you, sometimes stuff like PatMac is perfect for feeling comfortable or to explore very specific topics. Channels like his are what makes TH-cam worth it imo
@@mr.goodboi2780 exactly! it's wholesome, you can tell he loves what he's talking about, and it feels like he makes videos to share his interests with others rather than hopping on trends for a check. he resides in such a delightful little niche on this site!
For those that wanted to know about the astro boy reboot: it's being picked up as a CGI-3D reboot again with Shibuya Productions who are collabing with Method Animation, and..the creator of ladybug
Lost media will always be such an interesting topic to me, especially because the majority of it all feels like a 2000s nostalgiatrip. Old cartoon and video game lost media is always such an interesting concept to me and I hope the niche will get bigger over time so more people can join searches, amazing upload patmac. Your style is one I try to replicate myself with what I try to make and I can't wait to see you get back to making more videos, I love the comedic aspect of just having radom memes that are somewhat related to the topic itself just pop up while you're explaining something and just not acknowledging it in the slightest, that's like my favorite kind of comedy lmao
my personal lost media? a book a read at my grandma’s house. it was a children’s book but one meet for 9-12 age range to read to themselves. it was a about a princess who was kinda a brat and an old snobby dutchess used a potion to turn her into a kitten. a nameless servant girl finds the princess and eventually makes an antidote and once the the princess is human again she makes the servant girl her lady in waiting and the servant girl gets a name. Tulip. My grandma was kinda a hoarder and after her death most of her stuff was cleared out. I only got to read it once. miss that book. (and my grandma too)
One of the best aspects of lost media is definitely creators discovering so many people were looking for and cared about their work and this was a great example of that. So exciting it was found!
The Pokémon the First Movie part of this is inaccurate. The girl that is unidentified is actually Voyager who actually appears in the movie, she’s played by Sachiko Kobayashi who sings the ending theme “Fantasy in my Pocket” alongside Juri, who is the little girl in the trailer. They also sing “Together with the Wind” which is the ending theme to the movie. Misty/Kasumi does feature in the trailer, but she’s not older, she just has her hair down. I’ve been fascinated by the trailer for years, I’m not fully sure why it happens to focus on these three characters, but I can absolutely confirm that it’s not related a past version of the movie featuring a time skip and Ash/Satoshi’s child.
i've made a comment containing a quote from the first movie's bulbapedia page that should clear some things up: "Largely because of the close resemblance, as well as Pikachu being present, it was initially speculated that the woman in the trailer was an adult Misty. However, this was confirmed to be false by Kunihiko Yuyama during the 2019 Pokémon Anime Expo premiere of the movie's remake. Instead, the woman was designed specifically for the trailer, and her resemblance to Misty was purely coincidental."
Holly shit PatMac. Not only was this an incredible video, but you genuinely made me cry, let me explain: As soon as I heard the song at 57:19 (Beware the Forest's Mushrooms - Super Mario RPG) my brain literally exploded. I had this song stuck in my brain for years now and whenever it popped in my head I couldn't tell if my brain made it up or not, call it a liminal song, it was like a weird fever dream. THANK YOU PAT MAC, FOR PUTTING THE SONG LIST IN THE DESCRIPTION!! Without you I would've never found that song, ever. And this is amazing because the whole point of this video is to showcase some examples of lost media, and that song at 57:19 was a lost media in my brain for years, and you PatMac, recovered it. Thank you so much, I literally cried for a few minutes...
A horrifying thing about animation cells is that a lot of them are permenetantly lost. A lot of productions either throw the cells out after use or don't store them well. It seems shocking, although I suppose it's not so surprising when you consider how many cells have to be made, and that they're really only a biproduct once the actual product is released.
i agree with this comment a lot but i gotta ask Where did u get that reimu pfp from because i distinctly remember making one exactly like that around 2020
My dad worked at a video shipping warehouse in the 90's and they had tons of screener tapes of B-movies that were being thrown into the trash lately that you can't even find information about online because most of them had a short life on video rental shelves at best and then were quickly forgotten (although they were very obscure at the time as well, for the most part). There were some true stinkers that he brought home but as children, that was quickly forgiven and the internet would have a heyday with them in the modern age. I think that there are still a bunch in his basement if they had not completely rotted away by now and I would love to upload some of them in all of their low-budget, cheesy glory someday.
An example of a “personal lost media” consists of pictures of my, at the time, 4 year old uncle sitting with infamous Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. The story goes that Pinochet saw a little boy wearing a military cap, thought he was cute and charming and called him to the stage to “show a real Chilean man”. My uncle is very embarrassed about it nowadays, since it’s like having a picture with Hitler, so he took all of the photos away. The only remainder is an old newspaper title page that I found after my grandpa died. It’s a very eerie feeling but at the same time satisfactory, to have found it.
Sad personal lost media story: I used to have an app that recorded all of my phone calls. I had a recording of one of the last conversations I ever had with my grandma, I think it was the last time she told me she loved me before she became totally unable to speak in hospice and died of cancer. I lost that recording when my phone froze up and I had to factory reset it.
I’m most interested in the background music created for cartoon shows. Almost every piece of music composed for a cartoon like the Mario Super Show is only able to be heard while watching the show, with no soundtrack release. The original versions of the music cues without voices or sound effects can easily become lost media, since they’re never released on their own, and in several cases with older shows, the original recordings are destroyed.
Many of the action scenes from the early seasons of SpongeBob used NFL music, yes. They were (and still are) available on the APM website. APM (or Associated Production Music) contains many types of production music tracks and is the licensed music source for many productions. Throughout SpongeBob’s early seasons, most music came from APM, with only a handful of original tracks produced. However, around the late 2000s, the licensing for APM tracks changed. Originally, the companies that wanted to use APM music could purchase a sort of extended license, so they could pay a one time fee to use all the tracks they want for several years. Eventually this dissolved, and now the companies must pay a fee for every APM track used in an episode. Because of this, SpongeBob started getting more and more original music made for it in it’s later seasons. (I hope I got everything right)
@@TreeBranchStudios Not entirely on topic, but I do appreicate ajdouble1 and SuperSonicStyle for posting a few instrumentals of some P&F songs online. I think a lot of these songs have some really cool instrumentals, and I'd love to hear them all.
When I was a kid my dad took me to see The Avengers. It was my first time going out to see a non-kids' movie late at night, and it was an incredibly powerful experience for me. I remember during the previews, they played a teaser trailer for Prometheus that was really short and mysterious. It scared the shit out of me, but also piqued my curiosity big time. I'm an adult now and still haven't seen Prometheus (though I am a big fan of the Alien films in general) and no matter how hard I look I can't find that specific trailer. There are plenty of Prometheus trailers on youtube but the specific one I remember hasn't shown up as far as I know. Hell, sometimes I wonder if I'm misremembering the trailer as being a lot scarier and more cryptic than it actually was... I was a kid, after all all, so my imagination would've run wild. Whether or not this trailer exists the way I remember it, I still get a lot of enjoyment over the fact that I have that piece of lost media in my head to cling to.
I have a similar story. As a kid, I remember seeing trailers for Tron on TV and there's this one specific trailer that I cannot find ANYWHERE. I figured the same thing, that maybe I'm just remembering it differently, but I remember the setting being similar to the trailers I've seen on TH-cam while hunting for it. It's killing me that I can't find it because my sibling and I used to reference this one line from it because we thought it was funny when we were little.
@@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr yeee it's a very common thing, there's usually at least 3-5 different trailers per continent/nation release and they're usually like other movie ones, theater exclusive, and 2-3 normal run of the mill ones they play on TV or such, and since that's been the norm for a longgg time before uploading to yt was a thing, it didn't become a big thing to upload them until like 6 or so years ago and even then, they usually did not release the movie theater exclusive ones. Its probably not so much say loss media, just sitting in the Disney archive somewhere ^^!
always love to see PatMac return with another fun video that mysterious song is freaking neat, hope it gets solved one day there's a lot of old youtube videos of mine that are deleted and long gone, I doubt the old computer where I made them even work anymore
I found your channels and edits right around the time I released my last video - really amazing to see you commenting. Keep up the amazing work, they're all so great! Also, story: the week you uploaded your Glitter Force edit, I had been looking up the show since I hadn't heard of it until then and was fascinated that it did the whole completely change the show for the American dub thing since that's pretty much a lost art now, so seeing the edit was a neat coincidence.
@@PatMacYT wow thank you so much. your channel is so great, i love the videos you've been putting out! strangely feels like home. like it's the last connection i have to some of these things from my childhood
Lost media preservation has been a huge inspiration for me. When I was younger, I used to use this program called RealArcade where you could download casual games from a desktop application, and the installers would save to your computer. Unfortunately, it shut down in 2013, rendering most of them lost. However, just a few years ago I started a project trying to archive them from various contributors. There were somewhere around 1500 games, and there's almost 400 in the archive.
It makes me so happy to know that the Mallow plush is real! I have been following this mystery for years, and even though Geno does not exist, it is still great to know Mallow is real. I remember going to some collector store and seeing the Mario RPG Yoshi plush and it blew my mind to see one in person. I asked the employee how much it was, but he basically just said it is super rare (even though I already knew that) and said it was not for sale. It is honestly overwhelming to imagine that there are seemingly infinite pieces of lost media out there that we don't even know about. So many stories are just lost to time, and that is unfortunate. Thanks so much for making all of these cool lost media videos, they have deepened my appreciation for the topic so much.

Astro boy 2003 is the saddest anime I've ever watched and it's a shame that it's so underrated. The story is about a father (Tenma) who neglects his child (Tobio) in life and death, after he dies he tries to make a robot replica of him as robots are his specialty. He died because his father neglected him, being too invested in his work to care about him. Tobio wanted to go see his father at work and he took his toy car out to go see him (really sad, he was only 9 so it was like a kids Power Wheels toy) and he got in a car crash on his way there, killing him. His father is so distraught over his death that he takes Tobio's memories and puts them inside a robot replica of him, vowing to spend more time with his son. But he soon realizes that he wasn't the same as Tobio, he just had his memories. And after being turned into a robot and seeing how badly robots are treated, Tobio starts to rebel against him so his father decides to power him off (killing him a second time). The saddest part is that despite being a robot, he was programmed to be Tobio so in a way he was Tobio, he was sentient with a father and memories of his life. So not only did his father abandon him once and cause him to die but he abandoned him again and tried to murder him this time. After powering him off, the anime opens up with doctor Elefun trying to fix Tobio by using electricity to power him on again. He succeeds but being powered off causes Tobio to lose his memories so he thinks that Elefun is his creator, or father. Elefun renames him Astroboy, keeping Tenma and Tobio a secret from him. He uses his robot powers to save people and be a hero. The show gets really deep with themes of racism with humans being against the robots and it gets really philosophical with 'finding out the meaning of the universe', they get close to discovering it but humanity isn't ready to know yet so they don't find out. Its such a good anime and there's only 50 episodes so it's definitely worth a watch
That's the plot of the 50s manga, and the 60 and 80s astro boy too, with minor variations. I watched the 80s version growing up and I remember it having this bittersweetness to it. I didn't even know of the 2003 version until now so thank you for informing me of its existence.
@@biggjuggga4978 Yeah, I really love the franchise. I watched the movie in the cinema when it came out and around a year ago I decided to re-watch it and discovered the anime. It's so freaking dark and sad, it's one of my favorite anime's.
@@FrostedGalaxies It's such a good anime I really recommend watching it. I feel like the 2003 version got overshadowed because like you said the other iterations are very similar to it.
I remember going on Flipnote Hatena in the 2010s and had the foresight to save some of my favorite flipnotes. I have them all backed up in their original file format and it's great to see them again with the help of programs that allowed these files to be opened and converted into proper video files. It seems like a lot of the best flipnotes on Hatena were backed up and saved which is great to see but I hope a much bigger preservation project pops up in the near future.
speaking of flipnote i’ve always had this one sonic music video that was on there. i haven’t managed to find a video of it on youtube but all i remember was it was a japanese song with amy being the one singing and silver in a funny chibi style
Same! I have them still in my old DSi, but it has died since then (charger port busted) and it still has some of my favorites, even some that are obscure as a matter of fact. Do you have a link for your collections?
Huh, you know nintendo did have backups of all of those. You could access all your old flipnotes from the limited realse flipnote 3d. Didn't have flipnote hatena so I don't know how you actually accessed them, but once you did you got a code to share with others. Some people on colors 3d put those up, though unfortunately any locked flipnote was still locked. This was a long time ago, and the Japanese flipnote 3d severs have been shut down. No clue of any it still works
The scariest thing to me is Historical Lost Media. Just think how many civilizations, cultures, and pieces of work and art from across history that, unlike most Modern Lost Media which are recoverable if enough people look hard for it, are completely lost and unrecoverable.
The lost songs part really hit home for me. There was a cassette tape of kids songs my little cousin got for Christmas back in the 90s and no matter how many times I search the lyrics, nothing ever comes up. Still bothers me to this day.
@Marc Carran it was a tape with a bunch of educational songs. The one I remember most because we played it on repeat literally every day for months was called “It’s Your World”, I believe, and the lyrics were “it’s your world, why don’t you check it out. Observe, just what it’s all about. Experience…listen, feel and taste and smell, asking questions…” No one in the family remembers what the tape was called but we all remember the song.
I just found this today. I love your words about preservation of these things for history. Please keep up the work. I'm a 51 year old kid at heart and so much has been lost or forgotten.
My favourite lost media was a TH-cam video I watched around 2007-2008 of a kid showing off Gameshark cheats for Mario Kart DS such as having an infinite number of one item. What was funny about it was that for a brief moment when the screens of the DS were black, you could see the kid's reflection on the screen, which showed him holding a video camera in his mouth to capture the footage while he played the game. I remember laughing my ass off at the image of him keeping that camera in his mouth and all of the comments I remember were laughing at him too and the video was heavily 1-starred (back when TH-cam had a star rating system before thumbs up/down). I remembered the video a few years ago and tried to find it again but it's definitely not up anymore.
Mine is this cartoon or ad I dont remember much about it but there were these two people and one of them was painting a picture of these snacks he made the snacks were literally called delicious snacks and when he is finished painting the snacks he realizes he accidently forgot to paint one of the snacks and so his friend helps him by eating one of them however the other person gets angry and (this part I dont really remember) the other friend eats all the snacks (I do remember this part tho) the other guy yells hey you ate all the delicious snacks and then proceeded to chance the other person around the kitchen if anyone knows what this was from can you tell me
Is it this one? th-cam.com/video/Km7cPfMSpq4/w-d-xo.html Or this one? th-cam.com/video/Obc3-LuNLHc/w-d-xo.html Try to search up "Gameshark cheats for Mario Kart DS."
I love that each piece of media actually gets a proper amount of time, so many of these general "Lost media cases" videos will just introduce a topic, go "A lot of searching has been done but it hasn't been found", and then move onto the next one.
The finding of Mean Girls DS should not be understated, Bobdunga deserves a lot of credit for basically single handedly finding what remained of it and another lost DS game based on Clueless. Anyone curious about Mean Girls DS should check out her two part series on trying to find it, great insight into the efforts finding lost media.
"We're just lucky someone taped it, and not only that, still had their tape." *mourns the loss of my tape with almost every episode of "What A Mess" recorded off of ToonDisney that got destroyed in Hurricane Sandy*
Man, when you mentioned lost internet content, my mind almost immediately went to when Machinima closed down. Some stuff was recovered, but a lot of it just got wiped off the face of the Earth, including a big inspiration towards starting my own channel; a show called Halo 3 Forges. While I can find the Halo Reach, and Halo 4 "seasons" of the show, the Halo 3 episodes are completely gone as far as I can tell.
You know, that is reminding me of Sonic for Hire. Originally distributed by Machinima, when it was down the animation studio found another distributor in the form of Rooster Teeth who developed one new season under them, until they were all like "fine, I'll do it myself" and just posted the entire series under the studio's channel.
I almost cried of happiness when I checked TH-cam and saw this video pop up, You’re videos have helped me get into collecting and I would not have half the collection I have now if it wasn’t for you’re channel. Thank You!
That song story was really quite phenomenal. Amazing how people can come together to locate one song. Have you heard about "The Second Arrangement" by "Steely Dan"? It's an interesting thing to look for. There is some low quality versions of that song if you look em up but the official recorded song has been lost for now. There's also been pursuit of a radio host who supposedly played it so i recommend you check it out.
There's this one song I heard in the Dr*** & Josh pilot during the Karate montage and it's been driving me nuts. It's not Dig In by Lenny Kravitz. Maybe it's an original piece that was made just for the pilot, or it's one of those 80s songs no one can identify.
One lost media I'll always remember fondly and wish I could find is the MS Paint Adventure forum adventures. The forum got shut down a few years ago after the data got corrupted and all the hundreds of adventures I participated in were lost. It's really sad because there were a lot of legitimately good games made in it.
The “Crash Dummies” Hot Wheels monster truck, woogi world, Chuck E. Cheese and showbiz pizza tapes, man, there’s so much missing that could be out there. Except for woogi world which got shut down. Played that in second grade as a computer safety thing. Also, what I wouldn’t give to have that cassette TMMS is on.
There's a true poetic beauty and sadness to knowing that everything you've ever known will some day exist not just be lost to time but simply be erased from existence. We all fear leaving this world and being forgotten but it's the way things are, the way things have always been since humans have first existed. The sad truth is most things are meant to be enjoyed in the time of their creation and future-proofing is almost never thought about it until well after the fact. It was really unheard of until very recently for most companies to keep schematics or various other information about the creation of products even things like space shuttles. Much like it is for video games it falls to a few dedicated folks to preserve the past for the people in the future. I tip my hat to anyone involved with preservation. You're doing the work that someone has to do even if it isn't recognized and appreciated in it's time.
One piece of lost media I would like to mention are those old 2006-2007 AMVs with Sonic or Naruto characters with background songs like Everytime we touch by Cascada. After copyright laws were implemented many of them were gone... 😖
As a big Astro Boy fan myself, it's been quite annoying watching all this new media for the franchise produced in the hopes it'll finally bring Astro Boy to the spotlight and they all just fizzle out for one reason or another.
I've never seen anything from Astro Boy, but that teaser looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad it still may exist and I really hope the team behind it gets to feel good about that work if and when it finally releases. 7 years working the first season of a cartoon, man. You've got my attention turned onto that now. Thank you :)
It look like the movie mix with diferent things, and it look good, but diferent, and i'm ok it look diferent that the manga, because the reason why 2003 was great, because their did some good changes, and it fell diferent that the manga, i like that too because i sometime like seein other people visión instead of being 100 percent un the manga,
I was so stoked when the Puffy Pilot was found. Also another commercial from my childhood that was found was a Hamtaro commercial for Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak. Good stuff, good stuff. The lost media community is great for nostalgia finds like these.
That clip from the early concept footage for the Astro Boy movie was incredible. The expressiveness is just amazing...watching him go from panicked anguish to trepidation to pure resolve as he fires is just animation bliss. Honestly, even if the rest of this overview was terrible (it wasn't...I very much enjoyed the whole thing), it would have been worth it to see that clip. How could anyone have seen that in production and decided to go in a different direction? It's absurd to consider. That sub-10 second clip had more emotion through expression than so many of the most overwrought melodramas designed for adults can accomplish in 2 hours. It's just another example of utmost brilliance quashed by executives who probably need half an ounce of coke snorted through burning Benjamins to feel anything anymore.
For the longest time I had a hazy memory of watching an animated movie with a scene of a gas mask clad soldier lurking around No-mans land. Terrified me as a child x.x Eventually, many years later, I stumbled upon said scene again! It was from a children's religious/anti-war movie called, "Peace on Earth" from 1939.
@Sarim im also a big astro boy fan, and this is the first I've ever heard of this reboot. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I'd hate to have been teased for the past 6 years like that.
I’ve seen the teaser and I’ve got a whole Pinterest board dedicated to said reboot teaser. I even tried to talk to the animators behind the teaser online, but they’re busy doing other projects. And, last but not least, the animators are from a French Monegasque Animation studio called Caribara.
Popeye 2016 could very much qualify for lost media It had that popular teaser clip which went viral, there was a tonne of animation & marketing which was being primed to release when the project became fully announced and also Sony Animations had a sudden change in leadership leading the movie to tossed into a dumpster. Like Seriously. The new CEO of Sony Animation, cancelled Popeye 2016, in favor of *The Emoji Movie*
@@jimmy_os I already mentioned this but I forgot to clarify with you, the clip on TH-cam is only a Teaser, so its not part of the movie, so anything related to the actual movie is lost media
Actually I heard the film wasn't cancelled because of The Emoji Movie. I think it was because Sony Pictures Animation didn't want to focus on too many projects at once, and The Emoji Movie was released around the same time during that decision which was led to the film getting blame for cancelling Popeyes.
It’s wild to me to have memories of lost media knowing that there’s likely no way I’ll ever be able to see it again. The concept of seeing something so many times as a kid only to realize as an adult that no one recorded or archived it. So many commercials. So many network blocks in between shows. Realizing now that that was the only opportunity I’d ever have to see them in the age of information where it seems like everything is saved is kind of crazy.
This might be a bit personal but I've been going through a really really hard time lately and seeing an hour-long video of yours pop up in my recommended after many months gave me a lot of hope. I'm glad you're back :]
Thank you! I can’t say how long it would be until another new video, but I am glad this one was able to be made and has been able to help you feel better. Hopefully things get much better for you soon! Things generally always end up being okay in the end.
Thank you for making videos on lost media! A few years ago I came across videos similar to this one (might have been Cracks or the Clock man) and it became the sole reason that I was able to successfully research my favorite video game so in-depth! I never even knew it would be a possible outcome to get in contact with developers and designers of published content. It’s definitely a slow process, but well worth it. I’ve been able to find demo discs, early development content, and even personally communicate with head developers and directors of the game (Pitfall: The Lost Expedition). One individual I talked with gave me a 63 page document of the original outline for the game! Level layouts, characters, story, items, etc, with some being identical to the final game, while others were wildly different. All of this research has been done by myself in my own time, so I can imagine what it’s like to have a huge gang of people looking for such loved content. Don’t give up if you’re searching for content! :)
My memory is a bit hazy, but I think I remember hearing that they released the remaining Garfield: Caught in the Act levels onto a special lock-on cartridge titled "Garfield & Odie" - once combined, you get Garfield: Caught in the Act & Odie, the full experience. Great to have you back, man!
You've been a huge inspiration and favorite of mine for a long time and this video was worth the wait. Right down to the nods you gave to Puffy AmiYumi, I loved every second. The photos of the liminal spaces and footage of late night drives really upped the atmosphere too. I've had dreams about a mall I used to visit that's nothing like it was before recently, so that whole angle in addition to the physical items that no longer exist were my favorite parts. Hope to see more from you soon :D
Thank you! I'm glad Puffy AmiYumi could make it into the video even just for a little bit. Liminal spaces are so great and fun to look at. They are just like dreams, definitely a favorite form of art for me. Can't promise uploads very often, but we shall see, all the comments on this video have really made this worth it and I am glad I could at the least make this one. Thank you again!
57:00 I was literally just thinking about yogos the other day, those were life when I was 4, I remember eating them when going to an FYE and I wanted to buy an action figure of wrestler Mr. Kennedy with a tire as an accessory. Never got the figure, but the memory of having to put it down lurks in the back of my mind.
funbrain mom and kids playground is a website ive been searching for for ages and i’m so happy you included a screenshot of it in this video because i remember this so well. thank you so much.
One thing I want to them to try and save is the Disney Create Wolves Comic creator. I used the heck out of it in elementary school and it even helped me create some of my OCs. Sadly, Disney pulled the plug on Disney Create back in 2014 and none of the Wayback Machine caps seem to work or they take absurdly long to load. It's even more of a pain now since Flash is dead.
Those Disney comic creators are saved on Flashpoint which is an archive of old flash media. I remember also searching for the Disney Creates media a few months back and was happy to find that it was archived and can be used.
I'm going through a bad fight with homelessness and mourning, so seeing my favorite content creator uploading again - and uploading a video on a topic I have great interest in, it put the biggest smile on my face. Thank you!
I truly hope you can solve the issues you are facing soon, that sounds awful but I am glad videos like mine can help you in hard times like these. Everything will work out!
I've always been a huge fan of Astro Boy even as a kid, and I think the movie is pretty good! It's fun and sweet, and has a unique take on the plot in my eyes, tbh.

Finally was able to watch the whole video, and it really brought up a huge point that I've thought on quite a bit as of late. I often find myself reminiscing on simpler times, and wishing I could experience certain things for the first time again. Whether it be stuff like old bumpers for TV channels, or items I owned when I was a kid. A lot of your videos have satisfied that, something about seeing these things be acknowledged bring some sort of comfort that these things truly aren't forgotten. Your plush videos reminded me of the plushes I owned as a kid, and thanks to that, I now own a kellytoy Mario once again! And now I'm very interested in collecting merchandise myself. So thanks, PatMac. Not only have these videos brought back lots of fond memories, but they introduced me to a new hobby as well.
Gonna be honest, I clicked 'cause I saw 'HiHi Puffy Ami Yumi' in the thumbnail. I'm utterly fascinated by that show and its development and eventual cancellation, and to this day I'm not sure there's been any legitimate explanation for CN suddenly offing it like they did.
From what I remember, one of them got involved in some "adult" situation that caused them to cancel the band at home and abroad. And by "adult" I mean drugs or pregnancy or w/e. It's been a long time.
hi hi puffy amiyumi was canceled due to show creator, sam register, leaving cartoon network, and since it was canceled the plan season 4 went along with it, but sam register is now president of warner bros itself so who knows if that canceled season 4 could one day be finished and aired
@@nicico7298 He left because of the show being cancelled, it wasn't cancelled because he left. There was a corporate shake up at the time which took Sam out of his Vice President position and they began chopping and changing, this was just one of the shows they cancelled. It was also not a cheap show to make because they had to licence the song and image of Puffy, a famous pop group in Japan. It was probably cut due to money reasons over anything else. Sam Register innovated a lot for Cartoon Network and his leaving signalled a lull in quality for Cartoon Network that lasted a long time. Now he's in charge again along with running two other cartoon producer companies so maybe we'll see quality rising again.
This might be me being a bit too high minded, but as an artist seeing people care so much about media that might not be considered “high art” makes me so happy. Even if things aren’t super popular or high quality, there will still be people out there to care about them and support them long after the creator has moved on. It gives me hope for a lot of my weird creations that even after I forget about them someone out there might remember it 😊
I don’t know if this was always the case, but the reason you might not remember seeing Kappa Mikey on Nicktoons was because in the late 2000’s it only aired at 5:30 am EST before reruns of Danny Phantom. I remember waking up early in morning before middle school and watching it before Danny Phantom. I thought I made up that show in my head for years as I got older, but then a couple of years ago I learned it did actually exist lol.
I remember these old Nickelodeon themed jellybeans, it had spongebob, Dora, Diego, and had orange ones that had the Nickelodeon text on them, I'm not able to find it ANYWHERE on the internet.
Omg, he’s finally back! Appropriate topic based on recent trends on YT. Btw, an idea for a future video might be: animated shows that were massive hits in most parts of the world, but went mostly unnoticed in the US. Some European cartoons would possibly be considered for something like this.
My "lost media" is a CD I found with my friends at a resale store. It was a local band called the Crazed Cowboys (I think) it had all the band members names and the city they're from. The music is unironically really good and I love listening to it. I can't find anything about the band or the members.
@@judeironheart7252 I need a computer with a disc drive, and unfortunately I don't right now. Once I get a chance I definitely will! One of my moms favorite bands is only preserved because of her CD and a few live performances on TH-cam so I get the importance. :)
@@littlemau1360 yeah, it's getting harder to preserve old media because the technology is becoming more outdated. I mean, how many people have a 3.5" floppy drive? Or a VHS player that you can hookup to a computer? Even DVD drives are becoming hard to come by.

I have a bit of "new" lost media. I am a Ninja Turtle collector, and several years ago I was collecting the Kawaii Cubes for the TMNT. I was able to purchase 3 of them in various stores like Walmart and Walgreens. Eventually I stopped seeing them, and was not able to get the final turtle (Michelangelo). I searched eBay for a long time with no avail. I then decided to email the creators of Kawaii Cubes, asking if they had a Michelangelo they would sell me. A person replies and said yes they do, and to send them my home address. It sounded a bit sketchy, but I decided to give them my address anyway. To my surprise, I received Michelangelo for free through the mail, along with a Bebop Kawaii Cube. I emailed back to say thanks and also ask about the Bebop one. Apparently, before ending the series, Bebop and Rocksteady were slated for release, but only a few dozen were sold at SDCC. And the one sent to me was being used a cubicle decoration. There are literally no images of Bebop or Rocksteady online, and there's especially nobody selling them. So now it's my lifelong duty to get Rocksteady to complete my set!
Yep

The idea of the Red Mist Squidward being changed into something else like you said is such a genius idea. 20 years from now the kids who saw it will be searching for that one Spongebob episode with the Squidward jumpscare face but will only find the newer version leading to confusion and questioning.
Fun Fact: There’s an unreleased Director’s Cut of the 2005 Blue Sky animated film, Robots. According to Chris Wedge on the DVD commentary for said film with co-producer, William Joyce, he frequently teased (and even confirmed) that a Director’s Cut exists, and he also wanted to release it.
It’s unknown if this version will ever be released, thanks to Disney shutting down Blue Sky Studios in April of 2021.

Whenever somebody talks about lost media, i always think of this Italian cartoon produced around 2008 called Pet Pals. Excluding the 3D-animated reboot of the serie, which is more recent than the of it, there're 104 episodes divided into 4 series. Thanks to the incredibly poor efforts even by the producers to archive the series, fifty episodes haven't been found yet. I personally take credit for ripping almost 30 episodes of the ones available on the internet. Finding the remaining episodes has become my personal lost media quest
Plus, I also vividly remember in 2010 official plushies were released, but they’re incredibly hard to come by since they were exclusive to Q8 petrol stations. These plushies are somehow even more obscure than the series itself, I’ve found so far only a single picture of one of them (they’re six in total) thanks to the facebook page of a flea market
I loved that series. Where did you find those eps?
@@minda7879 (everything i'm about to say only applies to the original Italian dub of the cartoon)
There's a different answer for each season
Season 1 (26/26): All the episodes are still available on a few very dodgy streaming websites
Season 2: (21/26): This series (along with the 1st one) was released on DVD, i found (and bought) on ebay four DVDs out of five, i haven't been able to find dvd no.2 yet
Season 3 (3/26): I digitised several VHS tapes containing several morning cartoons aired around 2010 on RAI 2 and found three episodes of this season
Season 4 (4/26): The first four episodes of this season are still on the official channel of the company who made the show, but trust me they were incredibly hard to find due to that channel having over five thousand videos
excluding the episodes season 1, i've uploaded everything i've found so far here on youtube (not on this channel tho, on a secondary one)
Is this the same Pet Pals as the Leapster game of the same name? I remember playing that
@@NilesTheRobot i had no idea what you were talking about, so i looked up and no, that’s a completely different series
So weird that we now look back on A Day With Spongebob as an old piece of lost media, time has passed so much!
The stock image kid, it's the Same image That you used from the cancelled Sonic movies. (Sonic wonders of the world)
I find lost media sad, haunting, and scary at the same time.
Sad because of how much stuff gets forgotten, haunting because of how it feels like something forbidden, and scary it reminds us of how, eventually, everything will be forgotten and be labeled as lost media.
There's a show in my country that's basically on its way to becoming lost media. Dozens of episodes were uploaded to TH-cam but with time passing, more and more episodes get deleted from the platform.

Just wanted to mention that two episodes of As Told By Ginger, a show produced in the early 2000s, premiered THIS YEAR when the show was added to Paramount+, and it wasn't the first time a gap of many years was between episodes of the series, as what was assumed to be the last unaired episodes released in the mid-2010s, and even then outside of the US.
I’m screaming, i rewatched the whole thing a few years ago, I’ve gotta go watch those now!!
Sorry if this sounds cheesy - your videos feel very safe and comfortable to me and I find myself revisiting them often to listen to while I work, sleep, or through a genuine interest in the subject (oftentimes brought about by the passion you have for the subjects you talk about). I go back to college next week and I'm terrified for many, many reasons. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's nice to have a new video of yours to add to my comfort TH-cam videos :)

my personal lost media? a book a read at my grandma’s house. it was a children’s book but one meet for 9-12 age range to read to themselves. it was a about a princess who was kinda a brat and an old snobby dutchess used a potion to turn her into a kitten. a nameless servant girl finds the princess and eventually makes an antidote and once the the princess is human again she makes the servant girl her lady in waiting and the servant girl gets a name.

@@PatMacYT sup, im a big fan
I was about to comment this
The Pokémon the First Movie part of this is inaccurate. The girl that is unidentified is actually Voyager who actually appears in the movie, she’s played by Sachiko Kobayashi who sings the ending theme “Fantasy in my Pocket” alongside Juri, who is the little girl in the trailer. They also sing “Together with the Wind” which is the ending theme to the movie. Misty/Kasumi does feature in the trailer, but she’s not older, she just has her hair down.
I’ve been fascinated by the trailer for years, I’m not fully sure why it happens to focus on these three characters, but I can absolutely confirm that it’s not related a past version of the movie featuring a time skip and Ash/Satoshi’s child.
i've made a comment containing a quote from the first movie's bulbapedia page that should clear some things up:
"Largely because of the close resemblance, as well as Pikachu being present, it was initially speculated that the woman in the trailer was an adult Misty. However, this was confirmed to be false by Kunihiko Yuyama during the 2019 Pokémon Anime Expo premiere of the movie's remake. Instead, the woman was designed specifically for the trailer, and her resemblance to Misty was purely coincidental."

A horrifying thing about animation cells is that a lot of them are permenetantly lost. A lot of productions either throw the cells out after use or don't store them well.

My dad worked at a video shipping warehouse in the 90's and they had tons of screener tapes of B-movies that were being thrown into the trash lately that you can't even find information about online because most of them had a short life on video rental shelves at best and then were quickly forgotten (although they were very obscure at the time as well, for the most part). There were some true stinkers that he brought home but as children, that was quickly forgiven and the internet would have a heyday with them in the modern age. I think that there are still a bunch in his basement if they had not completely rotted away by now and I would love to upload some of them in all of their low-budget, cheesy glory someday.
I want to see you try to obtain the tapes
I would love to see those uploads!
An example of a “personal lost media” consists of pictures of my, at the time, 4 year old uncle sitting with infamous Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. The story goes that Pinochet saw a little boy wearing a military cap, thought he was cute and charming and called him to the stage to “show a real Chilean man”. My uncle is very embarrassed about it nowadays, since it’s like having a picture with Hitler, so he took all of the photos away. The only remainder is an old newspaper title page that I found after my grandpa died. It’s a very eerie feeling but at the same time satisfactory, to have found it.

Sad personal lost media story: I used to have an app that recorded all of my phone calls. I had a recording of one of the last conversations I ever had with my grandma, I think it was the last time she told me she loved me before she became totally unable to speak in hospice and died of cancer. I lost that recording when my phone froze up and I had to factory reset it.

I’m most interested in the background music created for cartoon shows. Almost every piece of music composed for a cartoon like the Mario Super Show is only able to be heard while watching the show, with no soundtrack release. The original versions of the music cues without voices or sound effects can easily become lost media, since they’re never released on their own, and in several cases with older shows, the original recordings are destroyed.
Spongebob's an interesting case because while some of it is created specifically for the show, much of it comes from the NFL.
Many of the action scenes from the early seasons of SpongeBob used NFL music, yes. They were (and still are) available on the APM website. APM (or Associated Production Music) contains many types of production music tracks and is the licensed music source for many productions. Throughout SpongeBob’s early seasons, most music came from APM, with only a handful of original tracks produced. However, around the late 2000s, the licensing for APM tracks changed. Originally, the companies that wanted to use APM music could purchase a sort of extended license, so they could pay a one time fee to use all the tracks they want for several years. Eventually this dissolved, and now the companies must pay a fee for every APM track used in an episode. Because of this, SpongeBob started getting more and more original music made for it in it’s later seasons.

When I was a kid my dad took me to see The Avengers. It was my first time going out to see a non-kids' movie late at night, and it was an incredibly powerful experience for me. I remember during the previews, they played a teaser trailer for Prometheus that was really short and mysterious. It scared the shit out of me, but also piqued my curiosity big time. I'm an adult now and still haven't seen Prometheus (though I am a big fan of the Alien films in general) and no matter how hard I look I can't find that specific trailer. There are plenty of Prometheus trailers on youtube but the specific one I remember hasn't shown up as far as I know. Hell, sometimes I wonder if I'm misremembering the trailer as being a lot scarier and more cryptic than it actually was... I was a kid, after all all, so my imagination would've run wild. Whether or not this trailer exists the way I remember it, I still get a lot of enjoyment over the fact that I have that piece of lost media in my head to cling to.
Elaborate on what the trailer was like because I will try to find it and report to you later on
I have a similar story. As a kid, I remember seeing trailers for Tron on TV and there's this one specific trailer that I cannot find ANYWHERE. I figured the same thing, that maybe I'm just remembering it differently, but I remember the setting being similar to the trailers I've seen on TH-cam while hunting for it. It's killing me that I can't find it because my sibling and I used to reference this one line from it because we thought it was funny when we were little.
Likely, they made diff trailers to show at different places. Probably they just didn't upload it or anything
@@MartianCandies That seems pretty likely
@@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr yeee it's a very common thing, there's usually at least 3-5 different trailers per continent/nation release and they're usually like other movie ones, theater exclusive, and 2-3 normal run of the mill ones they play on TV or such, and since that's been the norm for a longgg time before uploading to yt was a thing, it didn't become a big thing to upload them until like 6 or so years ago and even then, they usually did not release the movie theater exclusive ones.

Also, story: the week you uploaded your Glitter Force edit, I had been looking up the show since I hadn't heard of it until then and was fascinated that it did the whole completely change the show for the American dub thing since that's pretty much a lost art now, so seeing the edit was a neat coincidence.
@@PatMacYT wow thank you so much. your channel is so great, i love the videos you've been putting out! strangely feels like home. like it's the last connection i have to some of these things from my childhood

So happy to see your finally back man. Genuinely took me a few minutes to process it. Hope you have been well through out the time you were gone for
Ayyy you got a heart from PatMac himself! Congrats :)

Lost media preservation has been a huge inspiration for me. When I was younger, I used to use this program called RealArcade where you could download casual games from a desktop application, and the installers would save to your computer. Unfortunately, it shut down in 2013, rendering most of them lost. However, just a few years ago I started a project trying to archive them from various contributors. There were somewhere around 1500 games, and there's almost 400 in the archive.

Everyone: The Return, of the king
It makes me so happy to know that the Mallow plush is real! I have been following this mystery for years, and even though Geno does not exist, it is still great to know Mallow is real. I remember going to some collector store and seeing the Mario RPG Yoshi plush and it blew my mind to see one in person. I asked the employee how much it was, but he basically just said it is super rare (even though I already knew that) and said it was not for sale. It is honestly overwhelming to imagine that there are seemingly infinite pieces of lost media out there that we don't even know about. So many stories are just lost to time, and that is unfortunate. Thanks so much for making all of these cool lost media videos, they have deepened my appreciation for the topic so much.
The Mallow was recently listed on yahoo. It sold for 2351000 yen ( around $20,000). Also Boshi went for 711,000 yen.

Astro boy 2003 is the saddest anime I've ever watched and it's a shame that it's so underrated. The story is about a father (Tenma) who neglects his child (Tobio) in life and death, after he dies he tries to make a robot replica of him as robots are his specialty. He died because his father neglected him, being too invested in his work to care about him. Tobio wanted to go see his father at work and he took his toy car out to go see him (really sad, he was only 9 so it was like a kids Power Wheels toy) and he got in a car crash on his way there, killing him. His father is so distraught over his death that he takes Tobio's memories and puts them inside a robot replica of him, vowing to spend more time with his son. But he soon realizes that he wasn't the same as Tobio, he just had his memories. And after being turned into a robot and seeing how badly robots are treated, Tobio starts to rebel against him so his father decides to power him off (killing him a second time). The saddest part is that despite being a robot, he was programmed to be Tobio so in a way he was Tobio, he was sentient with a father and memories of his life. So not only did his father abandon him once and cause him to die but he abandoned him again and tried to murder him this time. After powering him off, the anime opens up with doctor Elefun trying to fix Tobio by using electricity to power him on again. He succeeds but being powered off causes Tobio to lose his memories so he thinks that Elefun is his creator, or father. Elefun renames him Astroboy, keeping Tenma and Tobio a secret from him. He uses his robot powers to save people and be a hero. The show gets really deep with themes of racism with humans being against the robots and it gets really philosophical with 'finding out the meaning of the universe', they get close to discovering it but humanity isn't ready to know yet so they don't find out. Its such a good anime and there's only 50 episodes so it's definitely worth a watch
This made me tear up
Wow a real astroboy stan, nice 👏
That's the plot of the 50s manga, and the 60 and 80s astro boy too, with minor variations. I watched the 80s version growing up and I remember it having this bittersweetness to it. I didn't even know of the 2003 version until now so thank you for informing me of its existence.
@@biggjuggga4978 Yeah, I really love the franchise. I watched the movie in the cinema when it came out and around a year ago I decided to re-watch it and discovered the anime. It's so freaking dark and sad, it's one of my favorite anime's.
@@FrostedGalaxies It's such a good anime I really recommend watching it. I feel like the 2003 version got overshadowed because like you said the other iterations are very similar to it.
I remember going on Flipnote Hatena in the 2010s and had the foresight to save some of my favorite flipnotes. I have them all backed up in their original file format and it's great to see them again with the help of programs that allowed these files to be opened and converted into proper video files. It seems like a lot of the best flipnotes on Hatena were backed up and saved which is great to see but I hope a much bigger preservation project pops up in the near future.
speaking of flipnote i’ve always had this one sonic music video that was on there. i haven’t managed to find a video of it on youtube but all i remember was it was a japanese song with amy being the one singing and silver in a funny chibi style
Same! I have them still in my old DSi, but it has died since then (charger port busted) and it still has some of my favorites, even some that are obscure as a matter of fact. Do you have a link for your collections?
how did you convert them? i make flipnote animations so it would be nice to be able to have that as a proper video file
@@notkelomorii I use Flipnote Player by James Daniel and you can upscale the videos from their original resolution all the way up to 4x
Huh, you know nintendo did have backups of all of those. You could access all your old flipnotes from the limited realse flipnote 3d. Didn't have flipnote hatena so I don't know how you actually accessed them, but once you did you got a code to share with others. Some people on colors 3d put those up, though unfortunately any locked flipnote was still locked. This was a long time ago, and the Japanese flipnote 3d severs have been shut down. No clue of any it still works
The scariest thing to me is Historical Lost Media.
Just think how many civilizations, cultures, and pieces of work and art from across history that, unlike most Modern Lost Media which are recoverable if enough people look hard for it, are completely lost and unrecoverable.
YOOOOOO THE PAC IS BACK. The world can finally join together in peace. We missed you Mac-aroni and Pac-heese!
Funny. Best comment on this video
When the world needed him the most, He returned.
With a way to long video...
That's what I was thinking!

Oh my god he back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lost songs part really hit home for me. There was a cassette tape of kids songs my little cousin got for Christmas back in the 90s and no matter how many times I search the lyrics, nothing ever comes up. Still bothers me to this day.
@Marc Carran it was a tape with a bunch of educational songs. The one I remember most because we played it on repeat literally every day for months was called “It’s Your World”, I believe, and the lyrics were “it’s your world, why don’t you check it out. Observe, just what it’s all about. Experience…listen, feel and taste and smell, asking questions…” No one in the family remembers what the tape was called but we all remember the song.
I just found this today. I love your words about preservation of these things for history. Please keep up the work. I'm a 51 year old kid at heart and so much has been lost or forgotten.
My favourite lost media was a TH-cam video I watched around 2007-2008 of a kid showing off Gameshark cheats for Mario Kart DS such as having an infinite number of one item. What was funny about it was that for a brief moment when the screens of the DS were black, you could see the kid's reflection on the screen, which showed him holding a video camera in his mouth to capture the footage while he played the game. I remember laughing my ass off at the image of him keeping that camera in his mouth and all of the comments I remember were laughing at him too and the video was heavily 1-starred (back when TH-cam had a star rating system before thumbs up/down). I remembered the video a few years ago and tried to find it again but it's definitely not up anymore.
Mine is this cartoon or ad I dont remember much about it but there were these two people and one of them was painting a picture of these snacks he made the snacks were literally called delicious snacks and when he is finished painting the snacks he realizes he accidently forgot to paint one of the snacks and so his friend helps him by eating one of them however the other person gets angry and (this part I dont really remember) the other friend eats all the snacks (I do remember this part tho) the other guy yells hey you ate all the delicious snacks and then proceeded to chance the other person around the kitchen if anyone knows what this was from can you tell me
I found it!!!

Try to search up "Gameshark cheats for Mario Kart DS."
I love that each piece of media actually gets a proper amount of time, so many of these general "Lost media cases" videos will just introduce a topic, go "A lot of searching has been done but it hasn't been found", and then move onto the next one.
“Lost Media Cases”?
Where have I heard that before?
The finding of Mean Girls DS should not be understated, Bobdunga deserves a lot of credit for basically single handedly finding what remained of it and another lost DS game based on Clueless.

Man, when you mentioned lost internet content, my mind almost immediately went to when Machinima closed down. Some stuff was recovered, but a lot of it just got wiped off the face of the Earth, including a big inspiration towards starting my own channel; a show called Halo 3 Forges. While I can find the Halo Reach, and Halo 4 "seasons" of the show, the Halo 3 episodes are completely gone as far as I can tell.
I swear i might remember that..
You know, that is reminding me of Sonic for Hire. Originally distributed by Machinima, when it was down the animation studio found another distributor in the form of Rooster Teeth who developed one new season under them, until they were all like "fine, I'll do it myself" and just posted the entire series under the studio's channel.
@@rcmero I was literally going to mention that one and ask if that was still up lol
Respawn was heavily acrchived, but everything else was kinda not that much.
I almost cried of happiness when I checked TH-cam and saw this video pop up, You’re videos have helped me get into collecting and I would not have half the collection I have now if it wasn’t for you’re channel. Thank You!
That song story was really quite phenomenal. Amazing how people can come together to locate one song. Have you heard about "The Second Arrangement" by "Steely Dan"? It's an interesting thing to look for. There is some low quality versions of that song if you look em up but the official recorded song has been lost for now. There's also been pursuit of a radio host who supposedly played it so i recommend you check it out.
There's this one song I heard in the Dr*** & Josh pilot during the Karate montage and it's been driving me nuts. It's not Dig In by Lenny Kravitz. Maybe it's an original piece that was made just for the pilot, or it's one of those 80s songs no one can identify.
Check the channel Whang! He does updates all the time on this song.
@@justyumi4410 ik this mf didn't just censor drake and Josh 😭
One lost media I'll always remember fondly and wish I could find is the MS Paint Adventure forum adventures.
The forum got shut down a few years ago after the data got corrupted and all the hundreds of adventures I participated in were lost. It's really sad because there were a lot of legitimately good games made in it.
The “Crash Dummies” Hot Wheels monster truck, woogi world, Chuck E. Cheese and showbiz pizza tapes, man, there’s so much missing that could be out there. Except for woogi world which got shut down. Played that in second grade as a computer safety thing. Also, what I wouldn’t give to have that cassette TMMS is on.
There's a true poetic beauty and sadness to knowing that everything you've ever known will some day exist not just be lost to time but simply be erased from existence.
We all fear leaving this world and being forgotten but it's the way things are, the way things have always been since humans have first existed.
The sad truth is most things are meant to be enjoyed in the time of their creation and future-proofing is almost never thought about it until well after the fact.
It was really unheard of until very recently for most companies to keep schematics or various other information about the creation of products even things like space shuttles.
Much like it is for video games it falls to a few dedicated folks to preserve the past for the people in the future. I tip my hat to anyone involved with preservation. You're doing the work that someone has to do even if it isn't recognized and appreciated in it's time.
17:10 When I was a kid, my brother and I named our kitten after Kappa Mikey. Rest In Peace, sweet Mikey
One piece of lost media I would like to mention are those old 2006-2007 AMVs with Sonic or Naruto characters with background songs like Everytime we touch by Cascada. After copyright laws were implemented many of them were gone... 😖
my favorite piece of lost media i'll never see again was a sonic fanfic series posted here well over a decade ago, and you just reminded me of it lmao
I can't believe you got me hyped up for a show that might not even release about a franchise I never cared about. Great video.
As a big Astro Boy fan myself, it's been quite annoying watching all this new media for the franchise produced in the hopes it'll finally bring Astro Boy to the spotlight and they all just fizzle out for one reason or another.
I've never seen anything from Astro Boy, but that teaser looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad it still may exist and I really hope the team behind it gets to feel good about that work if and when it finally releases. 7 years working the first season of a cartoon, man. You've got my attention turned onto that now. Thank you :)
It look like the movie mix with diferent things, and it look good, but diferent, and i'm ok it look diferent that the manga, because the reason why 2003 was great, because their did some good changes, and it fell diferent that the manga, i like that too because i sometime like seein other people visión instead of being 100 percent un the manga,

Just dropping by, since this is where I first heard about -The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet- "Subways of Your Mind."
I was so stoked when the Puffy Pilot was found. Also another commercial from my childhood that was found was a Hamtaro commercial for Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak. Good stuff, good stuff. The lost media community is great for nostalgia finds like these.
Oh, god, that one Sonic ytp. The clip of him saluting while saying _"hamburger"_ will forever be ingrained in my memory.

That clip from the early concept footage for the Astro Boy movie was incredible. The expressiveness is just amazing...watching him go from panicked anguish to trepidation to pure resolve as he fires is just animation bliss. Honestly, even if the rest of this overview was terrible (it wasn't...I very much enjoyed the whole thing), it would have been worth it to see that clip. How could anyone have seen that in production and decided to go in a different direction? It's absurd to consider. That sub-10 second clip had more emotion through expression than so many of the most overwrought melodramas designed for adults can accomplish in 2 hours. It's just another example of utmost brilliance quashed by executives who probably need half an ounce of coke snorted through burning Benjamins to feel anything anymore.
CTFD. The test lacks a hell of a lot of context and what production on the Imagi movie was like is still largely unknown.
It's really nice to come back to this and see that some of the stuff discussed here has been found
For the longest time I had a hazy memory of watching an animated movie with a scene of a gas mask clad soldier lurking around No-mans land. Terrified me as a child x.x Eventually, many years later, I stumbled upon said scene again! It was from a children's religious/anti-war movie called, "Peace on Earth" from 1939.
Funny, that description made me think of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards.
I saw this one. :-)
I’m glad you found jt
@@SirBlackReeds it made me think of "Nine"

@Sarim ngl, I know nothing about astro boy and yet im still sad because the show seems pretty cool
@Sarim im also a big astro boy fan, and this is the first I've ever heard of this reboot. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I'd hate to have been teased for the past 6 years like that.
I’ve seen the teaser and I’ve got a whole Pinterest board dedicated to said reboot teaser. I even tried to talk to the animators behind the teaser online, but they’re busy doing other projects. And, last but not least, the animators are from a French Monegasque Animation studio called Caribara.
Pikmin 4
I mean, Bayonetta 3 is finally coming out so anything's possible
Popeye 2016 could very much qualify for lost media
It had that popular teaser clip which went viral, there was a tonne of animation & marketing which was being primed to release when the project became fully announced and also Sony Animations had a sudden change in leadership leading the movie to tossed into a dumpster.
Like Seriously.

@@jimmy_os Yeah, the rest of this does too
@@jimmy_os I already mentioned this but I forgot to clarify with you, the clip on TH-cam is only a Teaser, so its not part of the movie, so anything related to the actual movie is lost media
Actually I heard the film wasn't cancelled because of The Emoji Movie. I think it was because Sony Pictures Animation didn't want to focus on too many projects at once, and The Emoji Movie was released around the same time during that decision which was led to the film getting blame for cancelling Popeyes.
@@Stock_Junction The Emoji Movie is the best Sony Pictures movie
It’s wild to me to have memories of lost media knowing that there’s likely no way I’ll ever be able to see it again. The concept of seeing something so many times as a kid only to realize as an adult that no one recorded or archived it. So many commercials. So many network blocks in between shows. Realizing now that that was the only opportunity I’d ever have to see them in the age of information where it seems like everything is saved is kind of crazy.
I know right, it's pretty sad
As someone who is training to work in archival, the ending really hit for me! It’s so important to back stuff up no matter what :)
This might be a bit personal but I've been going through a really really hard time lately and seeing an hour-long video of yours pop up in my recommended after many months gave me a lot of hope. I'm glad you're back :]
Thank you! I can’t say how long it would be until another new video, but I am glad this one was able to be made and has been able to help you feel better. Hopefully things get much better for you soon! Things generally always end up being okay in the end.
Thank you for making videos on lost media! A few years ago I came across videos similar to this one (might have been Cracks or the Clock man) and it became the sole reason that I was able to successfully research my favorite video game so in-depth! I never even knew it would be a possible outcome to get in contact with developers and designers of published content. It’s definitely a slow process, but well worth it. I’ve been able to find demo discs, early development content, and even personally communicate with head developers and directors of the game (Pitfall: The Lost Expedition). One individual I talked with gave me a 63 page document of the original outline for the game! Level layouts, characters, story, items, etc, with some being identical to the final game, while others were wildly different. All of this research has been done by myself in my own time, so I can imagine what it’s like to have a huge gang of people looking for such loved content. Don’t give up if you’re searching for content! :)
THE MYSTERIOUS SONG HAS BEEN FOUND!!! its called subways of your mind by FEX!!!
My memory is a bit hazy, but I think I remember hearing that they released the remaining Garfield: Caught in the Act levels onto a special lock-on cartridge titled "Garfield & Odie" - once combined, you get Garfield: Caught in the Act & Odie, the full experience.

I know this is a joke but that would’ve been really cool. Wish there were more lock-on cartridges than just Sonic & Knuckles.
You've been a huge inspiration and favorite of mine for a long time and this video was worth the wait. Right down to the nods you gave to Puffy AmiYumi, I loved every second.
The photos of the liminal spaces and footage of late night drives really upped the atmosphere too. I've had dreams about a mall I used to visit that's nothing like it was before recently, so that whole angle in addition to the physical items that no longer exist were my favorite parts.
Hope to see more from you soon :D
Thank you! I'm glad Puffy AmiYumi could make it into the video even just for a little bit. Liminal spaces are so great and fun to look at. They are just like dreams, definitely a favorite form of art for me. Can't promise uploads very often, but we shall see, all the comments on this video have really made this worth it and I am glad I could at the least make this one. Thank you again!
57:00 I was literally just thinking about yogos the other day, those were life when I was 4, I remember eating them when going to an FYE and I wanted to buy an action figure of wrestler Mr. Kennedy with a tire as an accessory. Never got the figure, but the memory of having to put it down lurks in the back of my mind.
funbrain mom and kids playground is a website ive been searching for for ages and i’m so happy you included a screenshot of it in this video because i remember this so well. thank you so much.
One thing I want to them to try and save is the Disney Create Wolves Comic creator. I used the heck out of it in elementary school and it even helped me create some of my OCs. Sadly, Disney pulled the plug on Disney Create back in 2014 and none of the Wayback Machine caps seem to work or they take absurdly long to load. It's even more of a pain now since Flash is dead.
Those Disney comic creators are saved on Flashpoint which is an archive of old flash media. I remember also searching for the Disney Creates media a few months back and was happy to find that it was archived and can be used.

Finally was able to watch the whole video, and it really brought up a huge point that I've thought on quite a bit as of late.
I often find myself reminiscing on simpler times, and wishing I could experience certain things for the first time again. Whether it be stuff like old bumpers for TV channels, or items I owned when I was a kid.
A lot of your videos have satisfied that, something about seeing these things be acknowledged bring some sort of comfort that these things truly aren't forgotten. Your plush videos reminded me of the plushes I owned as a kid, and thanks to that, I now own a kellytoy Mario once again! And now I'm very interested in collecting merchandise myself.
So thanks, PatMac. Not only have these videos brought back lots of fond memories, but they introduced me to a new hobby as well.
The music @ 1:35 gave me a blast of nostalgia and pure anger remembering the spongeball mini games.
Gonna be honest, I clicked 'cause I saw 'HiHi Puffy Ami Yumi' in the thumbnail. I'm utterly fascinated by that show and its development and eventual cancellation, and to this day I'm not sure there's been any legitimate explanation for CN suddenly offing it like they did.
From what I remember, one of them got involved in some "adult" situation that caused them to cancel the band at home and abroad. And by "adult" I mean drugs or pregnancy or w/e. It's been a long time.
hi hi puffy amiyumi was canceled due to show creator, sam register, leaving cartoon network, and since it was canceled the plan season 4 went along with it, but sam register is now president of warner bros itself so who knows if that canceled season 4 could one day be finished and aired
@@sonyblank1487 when they accused Yumi of cheating on her husband? I thought that was long after the show ended.
me too. i was kinda confused that it was in there though cause it’s not lost media 😭
@@nicico7298 He left because of the show being cancelled, it wasn't cancelled because he left. There was a corporate shake up at the time which took Sam out of his Vice President position and they began chopping and changing, this was just one of the shows they cancelled. It was also not a cheap show to make because they had to licence the song and image of Puffy, a famous pop group in Japan. It was probably cut due to money reasons over anything else.
Sam Register innovated a lot for Cartoon Network and his leaving signalled a lull in quality for Cartoon Network that lasted a long time. Now he's in charge again along with running two other cartoon producer companies so maybe we'll see quality rising again.
Words cannot express how happy I am to hear your voice again dude! This is like an early birthday present!

This might be me being a bit too high minded, but as an artist seeing people care so much about media that might not be considered “high art” makes me so happy. Even if things aren’t super popular or high quality, there will still be people out there to care about them and support them long after the creator has moved on. It gives me hope for a lot of my weird creations that even after I forget about them someone out there might remember it 😊
Same, sometimes when I see like an artwork or a not so popular video, I save it to the Wayback Machine
I don’t know if this was always the case, but the reason you might not remember seeing Kappa Mikey on Nicktoons was because in the late 2000’s it only aired at 5:30 am EST before reruns of Danny Phantom. I remember waking up early in morning before middle school and watching it before Danny Phantom. I thought I made up that show in my head for years as I got older, but then a couple of years ago I learned it did actually exist lol.
I remember these old Nickelodeon themed jellybeans, it had spongebob, Dora, Diego, and had orange ones that had the Nickelodeon text on them, I'm not able to find it ANYWHERE on the internet.
they're all in my belly
@@Hoodiesleeves oh...
I even remembered Wild Grinders! YEAH I’m Serious I watched it on Nicktoons
Mighty beans?
@@RealZerenaFan caught it once too
3:03 I absolutely love this infamous meme edit and the fact that Squidward is wearing a SUPREME shirt in it, is just the cherry on top!
That last little part of the video where you're explaining how media in the past had molded us really hit me man thank you for the video
Omg, he’s finally back! Appropriate topic based on recent trends on YT. Btw, an idea for a future video might be: animated shows that were massive hits in most parts of the world, but went mostly unnoticed in the US. Some European cartoons would possibly be considered for something like this.
Maybe "International Hits"
El Chavo del Ocho is a famous South American show that went unnoticed on the USA.
@@crossy44 el chavo del ocho is a mexican series.
@@crossy44 I remember watching El Chavo de ocho dubbed on Kabillion
i love all the urusei yatsura clips hidden throughout this one! (also, welcome back patmac! great video as always)
My "lost media" is a CD I found with my friends at a resale store. It was a local band called the Crazed Cowboys (I think) it had all the band members names and the city they're from. The music is unironically really good and I love listening to it. I can't find anything about the band or the members.
you could upload the album here to youtube, so othrs can listen to them
@@judeironheart7252 I need a computer with a disc drive, and unfortunately I don't right now. Once I get a chance I definitely will! One of my moms favorite bands is only preserved because of her CD and a few live performances on TH-cam so I get the importance. :)
@@littlemau1360 yeah, it's getting harder to preserve old media because the technology is becoming more outdated.
I mean, how many people have a 3.5" floppy drive? Or a VHS player that you can hookup to a computer?
Even DVD drives are becoming hard to come by.
@@Gilhelmi there’s not much you can fit onto a 3.5 floppy anyway
My lost media is
My mom gone on double dare UK original
I've not been able to find it
A relative might have clips but those could be lost or broken
Try to find this
21:10 The mention of Captain Carlos made my jaw DROP! You just unlocked a long lost memory @o@'
