Updated the Description with more specific info I found! (EDIT : 7/18/23) I found more content from this adaptation! Here are the links to it! Kauffman's H.R.

I'm really glad that my finds have attracted peoples attentions towards this canceled adaptation! Anyways as usual here's some updates : I added Subtitles to The Animatic + the Pufnstuf Music Machine I also uploaded my archive of stuff from this adaptation online a while ago , you can find it all here : archive.org/details/todd-kauffmans-neptoon-studios-h.r.-pufnstuf-adaptation-content-archive
Yeah it was one of many canceled attempts to revive Pufnstuf in the early 2000's - 2010's. So sad this one got canceled due to the option rights cost of the Pufnstuf Ip , Even the Kroffts liked the pitch for this Animated Adaptation.
Yeah! I also got a ton of other content regarding it as well , some of it I've held onto for a while now but alot of new stuff aswell. I'm making a deep dive video about this adaptation and when that comes out I'll release everything else I found ( minus videos and music since they are already easily accessible on RUclips )
Thanks! I've been searching for this animatic for years since 2018 or 2019 so yesterday I was estatic when I finally found it. , But it's been lost media for longer than that , since roughly 2010 - 2015 I think.
@@sonickreekgamer7625 Yeah and over the years I've found so much stuff related to this adaptation such as art , sketches , model sheets , hopefully I'll be able to post everything I found on a website so it's never lost again.
HR puffin stuff really should get a Cartoon show and be awesome and Lidsville should get a cartoon show to an The Banana Splits to get a cartoon it could be cool. How about the Director of the cartoon show the Cuphead show make remakes of the these cool shows
@@STTechin imagine if wild brain (formerly Dhx) and Sid and Marty Kroft productions DID air the series if todd Kaufman got the license (I have a feeling that the brand would be a lot more popular just like Grojband and total drama) also this probably would have aired on CN (Cartoon Network) based on his other shows ending up there as well And if you don’t mind I have some predictions for what the voice cast would be like Jimmy: Kevin Duhaney H.R. Puffnstuff: Scott McCord Wilhemina W. Witchiepoo: Emilie-Claire Barlow Freddy the Flute: Christian Potenza Clang & cling: Dan Petronijevic (Clang) and Lyon Smith (Cling) (Potentially more voice actors and even voice actors from the original show would have made it in as well)
@@ImThatGuy64x360 yeah if this did come out I agree H.R. Pufnstuf would be Alot more popular , also nice predictions! tho I highly doubt cling and clang would have spoke lol
@@STTechin also I saw on a community post that you were planing to redo your retrospective video for this show and I was wondering did you get any new info about the show (Like a Voice actor list, Color footage, What network it would air on, New. Characters, Potential episodes, etc) Because that would be cool if anything more has surfaced to ad to that video.
@@ImThatGuy64x360 sadly not really. Trust me i've tried to did as deep as i can but i dont think ill be finding anymore info unless the old blog is made public , i'm given access to it , or Kauffman posts more about it himself. The retrospective video is mainly being remade to be higher quality and slightly longer and include alot of older info i have already.
This animation reminds me of the Fairly OddParents and jelly stone it cool if this made in to a real cartoon show how about be made it by the same people who made the cartoon show the Cuphead show would that be cool?
I'm unsure why that was the case but I honestly like it as it help differentiate her from the original Witchiepoo more and looks pretty cool. It could have possibly been a scrapped concept that they were gonna do instead of the wand before they changed it back to a wand later on before the project got scrapped
@@STTechin it is interesting i did find a picture of that same design of her but with her wand , so she might of had it , that was very early in development and never finished
@@richardstroh6803 Yeah , she did have her wand in art as well so it's unclear whether or not the magic hands were temporary or what they originally wanted to do. I'll have to relook at dates on when the animatic was completed and when the wand arts were originally posted.
@@STTechin maybe she could do both but her powers were limited with out her wand , in the movie which is here on youtube she changes her appearance from a magic despise back to her normal form , but in the show she does the same thing in dr blinties house , so maybe she can a tiny bit with her wand

If anyone is confused by the term Leica. It's an old fashioned way to refer to animatics. The term is still used in Canada.
I didn't know that H R. Pufnstuf was going to get an animated adaptation. It would've been cool if the show hadn't been canceled.
Yeah it was one of many canceled attempts to revive Pufnstuf in the early 2000's - 2010's. So sad this one got canceled due to the option rights cost of the Pufnstuf Ip , Even the Kroffts liked the pitch for this Animated Adaptation.
This is so cute, I love the art style
Ikr , Its really a shame this project didn't get produced because the final animation would have looked really good
I remember seeing these pics during quarantine
Soooo glad this was found it's super fascinating and cool!!!
Yeah! I also got a ton of other content regarding it as well , some of it I've held onto for a while now but alot of new stuff aswell.

@@STTechin cool!
um is he my um, my friend when um, things get rough? um
Yes he is
Very nice to see this! Glad to return to this channel after so long for this.

@@STTechin Wow. Quite an interesting story! Never knew that it was lost for that long.
@@sonickreekgamer7625 Yeah and over the years I've found so much stuff related to this adaptation such as art , sketches , model sheets , hopefully I'll be able to post everything I found on a website so it's never lost again.
@@STTechin Really do hope so. Thanks man!
@@sonickreekgamer7625 I could try posting some of this stuff on my RUclips community tab!
HR puffin stuff really should get a Cartoon show and be awesome and Lidsville should get a cartoon show to an The Banana Splits to get a cartoon it could be cool. How about the Director of the cartoon show the Cuphead show make remakes of the these cool shows
This reminds me of music and art style from Grojband (Probably because it was the same creator)
Yeah this adaptation and Grojband share the same creator and studio
@@STTechin imagine if wild brain (formerly Dhx) and Sid and Marty Kroft productions DID air the series if todd Kaufman got the license (I have a feeling that the brand would be a lot more popular just like Grojband and total drama) also this probably would have aired on CN (Cartoon Network) based on his other shows ending up there as well
And if you don’t mind I have some predictions for what the voice cast would be like
Jimmy: Kevin Duhaney
H.R. Puffnstuff: Scott McCord
Wilhemina W. Witchiepoo: Emilie-Claire Barlow
Freddy the Flute: Christian Potenza
Clang & cling: Dan Petronijevic (Clang) and Lyon Smith (Cling)
(Potentially more voice actors and even voice actors from the original show would have made it in as well)

Thanks for sharing!
Of course! Glad to see alot of people enjoy this find lol
This couldve been interesting. Billie Hayes prob wouldve came back too since she was doing va stuff at the time
That would've been cool if she reprised her role as Witchiepoo for the adaptation
Huh, quite a interesting find.
No kidding!
This goes hard
Ikr , Such a shame it got cancelled
@@STTechinI would have loved this if it became a series
nah who this muffin stuff guy is
Unironically Jimmy actually calls Pufnstuf that in the EP where he loses his memory 😂
My late dad grew up with the original Pufnstuf show. If this remake had been actually made and not scrapped I think he would have enjoyed it
Yeah , such a shame it didnt get produced. From what we can see it looked very promising
1:22
HR just goved jimmy a Death smile 💀
Im surprised witchiepoo didnt have her wand
