I like how each of them kind of represents a different era and genre, in both how they look and act Sly- 70s funk/disco Stavros- 80s synth Loubie- 90s rap/hip hop it really helps make them unique and would make for some good opportunities to explore the different genres, much like Class of 3000, except even more focused specifically on catchy beats and making you dance
Atleast they delivered strongly on their music and the party did get exciting. I was worried they were going to mess it all up. This was pretty fun and i like their personalities. The whole frankenstein bit with the shower was hilarious. The small one really gives me Parappa vibes with his dreams and visions.
I could see it working as a show on modern Adult Swim, like something they get with the first season originally made intended for Cartoon Network that they know won't find an audience with kids.
With how great Phineas and Ferb did, I could easily see this show being picked up. Paul Rudish’s art style has vastly improved (not to say this pilot is ugly, far from it), so seeing this with updated visuals would be great! Maybe each episode could have them doing odd jobs to fund their band and ending each episode with a new song. I wouldn’t even mind if they stuck to one genre, like Jem and the Holograms. And with Daft Punk’s retirement and rap being the dominant genre, they might even be able to stand out and actually get on the Billboard 100!
I'll be blunt. Cartnoon Network knew that this wouldn't appeal to kids at the time. They knew that a lot of young people would miss the musical references and adults wouldn't appreciate the sexual references (they aren't exactly subtle). HOWEVER, Adult Swim could and should pick this up and get a good following. I honestly think this cartoon deserves a second chance, and a more modern audience would much better recieve this than that when it was released.
@@oscarthagrouch Wait till you find out how many kid's cartoons have innuendo in them. It's not out of the ordinary. It's for parents who watch stuff with kids to laugh at when it flies over kid's heads.
@@oscarthagrouch This was from a segment that aired all kinds of pilot episodes, and much like other shows, no one actually gave a crap if the kids wouldn't get it.
@@oscarthagroucha lot of kids’ cartoons have some form of innuendo, usually for parents bc they might find it funny while kids either won’t understand or will find it funny without knowing there’s another meaning.
People saying this feels dated: Music from long gone eras has some serious potential. I’ve been collecting lps for years now and have always been fascinated with music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, (and on). What I’m trying to say is: People often misjudge those times, especially 60s and 70s, because the teenagers of those times are now elderly, or at least grown up. Imo those days also had their own flair. I really like the colorful shirts, bellbottom jeans and long hair, from the 60s, 70s and the futuristic, sometimes sporty, sometimes fancy clothes from the 80s. Long story short: I’m just glad to see that in a cartoon and i just love the vibe of this.
@@alliune6266 3 dog band. It was part of CN's Cartoonstitution back in the mid 2000s. This, Flapjack, Regular Show, Adventure Time, and a few others were up to be green lit at the time. This was one of the ones that didn't make it SADLY lol.
One of my favorite tropes in character design is very sharp angular character versus very rounded smooth character. Just the contrast but the ability to work together is just 😙👌. I think I just like designs in general with really strong shape language.
I can see why it wouldn't have worked on Cartoon Network back then but it could really work now, or it could work on Netflix (assuming that Netflix wouldn't cancel it after one season)
I REALLY wish CN would pick this back up. It was such a fascinating premise, with very nice animation. I loved it as a child,and revisiting it, I still love it.
I'd honestly love if this was a series. This used to be a special interest of mine last year. Now that I love 80s synth music, this show would make me happy if it aired.
Man if this got to be an actual show way back when, I know it'd be one of those types that Ma wouldn't approve of, so I'd secretly stay awake to watch it, and I would like it so much I'd make it part of my personality, and then, instead of not having friends at school, I'd still not have friends, but at least I'd probably have better tastes in Vibe Music way sooner.
This was extremely charming. My favorite character is rhe German dog. I think that the concept needed some refining but the aesthetics are just dripping with sleekness. Would have been very cool on Cartoon Network.
it was when CN lost interested in animated shows in that time i think it was back in the dark era they had when they tried live action and they hired a nickelodeon president and they cancelled any animated production till regular show and the other show started again
@@forkq5720 Nope you're talking about the mid 2000's this pilot came out around the time where the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" and Code Name Kids next Door" were on the air. Kids just weren't interested in a musical based show when they had those two shows I mentioned to watch,were loved by many. So my point is this show's potential was overshadowed by vastly more popular and successful shows.
@@Off-with-a-bang the pilot is from 2010 go and do your own research check imdb or wikipedia or idk, btw this pilot is fully digital just look with ur monitor is super clean mid 00s cartoons were still doing in paper and digital and if you dont know what im talking about just check the resolution was maded in a computer with a tablet
this was so amazing! reminded me of all the older shows i used to watch on cartoon network. i don't know why this didn't have a series but i would definitely pick it up, now of all times would be perfect with cartoon networks popularity going down the drain and kids just don't seem to be into cartoons like i used to when i was a kid, i still am. i think this is what the world needs though, something original.
I actually wish this was aired, in general the music is amazing and the art style is almost nostalgic to me reminding me of courage and like cat dog which stopped airing around that time I suppose, I know it would have been up there with them for certain. I love the flow of the art, the story in general is choppy and the composition for it is a lil eh. But if they worked on it further in a series I know they would have made it work. Such a missed opportunity, I would have definitely watched this as a kid.
I strongly like the premise of sapient non-human animals and humans living in the same universe and sharing a societey. There's a whole lot of positive things to say about this cartoon. It isn't my subculture of choice, but even I like the star trio, their personification, and the visual gags.
Damn this had a ton of potential! Sucks that we don’t live in a timeline where this got a couple of seasons If this was the pilot just imagine how good it would be with an actual budget
This would have made an awesome series! The soundtrack is really, really fitting and adds a degree of depth and humor, a great complement to the visual style we all know and love!
Holy moely, this needs to be a show! It would give me reason to watch more TV again! BTW, the small dog looks like Parappa a little bit, with the hat and all.
Stavros kinda reminds me of the spy from team fortress 2 but with a german accent instead of a deep and fancy french accent that he has. And without the cigarettes and he's a dog instead of a snobby, rich middle-aged frenchman.
Yosef Demby I thought it was great. Johnny test didn't deserve all the hate, it was really funny even as a kid i liked it, i am in college now, but i rewatch an episode or two once in a while, if people really watched it, instead of bash the first thing they don't like about it, they could learn to enjoy it.
WHY...did this show never become a thing? seriously, it's awesome. this could have had so much potential, and I'm loving the art style. it reminds me of Dexter's Lab :3 and DAT MUSIC! it's so funky and smooth!
This could easily be an awesome show for 2022. Just have the plot be three old school musicians trying to compete against modern music by wanting to reintroduce the soul to music.
Whats weird is that there is nothing too terribly special about this, but I think that's part of it's appeal. It kind of reminds me of CN's glory days. I would still love to see this as a full show.

I love how the German dude was awake before the alarm clock lol
Plus his extreme accuracy during his setup
I like how each of them kind of represents a different era and genre, in both how they look and act
Sly- 70s funk/disco
Stavros- 80s synth
Loubie- 90s rap/hip hop
it really helps make them unique and would make for some good opportunities to explore the different genres, much like Class of 3000, except even more focused specifically on catchy beats and making you dance
+MrDjWalnut and how the way sly and stavros are drawn goes along with how they act
Once they started playing I started feeling a Jamiroquai-vibe from the music
I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO GET'S A CLASS OF 3000 VIBE FROM THIS CARTOON!
