  • With how much media is produced, not all of it can get the proper documentation it deserves. Lost media is a term that represents those pieces of media that have fallen into obscurity. Whether it be an episode of a cartoon, a piece of music, or even a website, one of your favorite pieces of media might be undocumented, let's talk about it!
    In this video, we'll be going over some of the most fascinating examples of this phenomenon, ranging from an unlicensed SpongeBob documentary, unreleased cartoon reboots, forgotten pieces of music, extremely rare merchandise and much more.
    If you enjoyed this video, be sure to subscribe and check out my other videos! Thank you very much for watching and I hope you enjoyed!
    Update April 2022: The start of the "Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" segment received a copyright claim, so it had to be trimmed about 30 seconds. Unfortunately, we lost a Quagmire appearance. Kinda funny a video about lost media now has a semi-lost section.

    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!

    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

      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)

    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.

    Holly shit PatMac.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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. 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.

    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.

    My favourite lost media was a RUclips 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 RUclips 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.

    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.

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.

    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

    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.

      @StanBlankPlushelodeon 3 года назад

      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 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.

    One of the more interesting cases of "lost media" is the MMO Final Fantasy XIV, the original version from 2010. It was released to negative reviews, updated for two years, then taken offline and replaced with A Realm Reborn. But what makes it so interesting is the fact that the destruction of the original game is woven into the narrative. In the updates prior to the game going offline, one of the world's moons descends from the skies, and chaos ensues in the realm, monsters attacking cities and whatnot. Then, right as the servers go offline, everyone who was logged in get a cinematic trailer showing the moon opening up revealing the dragon Bahamut, who proceeds to destroy the world.
    In the rebooted game, characters refer to this event as "the Calamity" and it's the cornerstone of the game's story.

    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.

    There is a movie called New York Ninja that was fully filmed, but for whatever reason, never went through post production. The only thing that survived was the complete, unedited film reels. The audio and even the script was lost. The reels were stored for decades until Vinegar Syndrome decided to use the footage to make a movie. They pieced the story together and dubbed it as best as they could. They genuinely put a lot of effort into creating the original vision as closely as possible. But it is still very sad to me that the official version the director had in mind will never be known. (Also, huge props to VS for not taking the easy route and turning it into a parody of B movies.

    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! :)
