Can we have a thread about this?

There was the drama of nick fucking with money numbers or using it to launder something. To some it was like a crime thriller.

Its a stock photo

What do you wish got found?

I know, but what would the kid think of his unexpected fame?

Can someone give me a rundown? If I remember correctly there were too many real people involved and too many shady coincidences that make day with spongebob more than a fake hoax.

The original cut of The Land Before Time.

high quality, uncut, generic international masters of every internationally distributed animated series from the late 1950's to the present

Basically the guy, Mr. Orange, wanted to make a mockumentary about SpongeBob and the production company "Raegal" I believe, was his choice. He started an Amazon listing to drum up hype and took it off the next day. The leads the searchers we're talking to told them to fuck off when Raegal was mentioned. Some people came out and said that Raegal is an at best bootleg company, but considering the aversion the leads had to Raegal, some people believe that Raegal has done some shady shit. That could explain why their headquarters were in an abandoned mall.

Something like "London After Midnight" is most likely lost forever, and will never be found no matter how hard you look. Meanwhile, something like "A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants" has had listings on online retailers as recent as 2011, everyone working on the movie is still alive, and it's likely at least one of them has the movie on a flash drive.

I was thinking Japanese animations from before the American occupation of Japan.

The movie was never made, the poster is a mock up and the production company is shrouded in mystery.

Nobody knew that when the search started.

The parodies were the best part.

>The most known lost media is SpongeBob related and anything from Nickelodeon
Why do autists got to be this way

>Something like "London After Midnight" is most likely lost forever
You might never know. Most of lost silent films emerge from the most unexpected places like abandoned asylums or mines.

That's why I said "most likely" and not "definitely." In any case, you have a much higher chance of finding a 2011 direct-to-DVD movie than a 1927 silent movie.

>Mine
Was that a reference to the uncut version of "Event Horizon"?

Disney's porn vault. A team was assembled long ago. They were never heard from again.

There was also a ''lost'' Nick Halloween movie called Cry Baby Lane that had been easy as hell to find on YouTube for years even accidentally if you just typed ''Halloween Special'' (back when people uploaded movies in multiple parts) that became legendary because of creepypasta bullshit rumors of things that never actually happened in the movie. Yet, despite this, people still believed those rumors, ignored the obvious evidence on YouTube and went to ludicrous lengths to find a copy, then someone who found a copy held it ''hostage'', made a big deal about it, and then finally it was re-aired when Nick heard about all the hoopla.

The brilliant minds of the internet at work.

because lots of children grew up with Nickelodeon as a kid
Interestingly I have every episode of The X's on my hard drive except for "Accidental Hero/Untied"

Not surprising, Nickallennials are some of the dumbest people to ever grace this Earth. As if the slime eroded their brains.

>that had been easy as hell to find on YouTube for years even accidentally if you just typed ''Halloween Special''
Wait fucking really? Top kek
I wasn't around for that but the lost media community at least got better in the last year. Actually making articles for real stuff that isn't Nickelodeon or autistic kiddy shit

I mean when you're dealing with London After Midnight or anything that old, there's no thing you can really do to "search" for it except locate wealthy people who bought a large amount of film for a private collection, and sort through their stuff.

Lost media that was created in a post-digital age as a lot more avenues you can use to investigate it.

This. If autists actually acted normal for once and searches for shit that isn't filled with autism, the Blues Brothers animated series and every single unreleased MJ and Prince recording would've been found already. Instead, we have to deal with shit like Cry Baby Lane and some shitty Sesame Street short from the 70s.

>>can we have a thread about this?

not this crap again

>or mines.
I'm sorry what?

Yes, really. Some lost media eventually get found in salt mines, particularly in Transylvania.

Personally I'm still waiting for "Him" to surface.
There's allegedly a copy (or some footage) being held at the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University Bloomington.

or what about the scenes in Andi Mack containing Ham that were cut out recently (including episode 18 of Season 3 which has been pretty much deleted from the show)

If it's that Event Horizon shit, that was the Biggest cock tease ever

For "lost media", this one's my favorite. It's literally just a movie. No hyper realistic gire, no I'll feelings from watching it, nobody killing themselves, no "don't ask me how I found it" etc. That take me out of it

the cut Black Cauldron footage
When you think about it, we've gotten most of the most infamous ones already - Crack Master, Dexter's Rude Removal, JBVO DBZ clip, ATHF "Boston", Cry Baby Lane, missing Detention and Pepper Ann episodes, Kappa Mikey pitch pilot, The Electric Piper... a lot of the stuff left is only on film in some guarded studio vault, if it exists at all.

>JBVO DBZ clip
But we didn't get the whole thing, did we? Didn't we only find a few seconds?

IIRC that's all there was, it was just a split-second gag bit

Same. I'm not gay but I kind of want to see it.

lots of shows have more hope to be found because they were internationally distributed and can still be redistributed to a new channel or service, thus there is a chance for someone in the world to have recorded. Detention and Pepper Ann are among those to have been distributed.
sadly, Rude Removal from Dexter's Lab wasn't lucky.

of course, the deleted scene from the SpongeBob episode "Texas" with SpongeBob swelling up and turning red as if he was absorbing blood only exists in a vault if it was ever animated onto film. The master tapes skipped those cels and didn't even compose music or SFX for it (there was dialogue skipped though)

THE FUCKING ALIENS CARTOON PILOT GODDAMMIT

real film historians are fucking pussy normies, they don't have the power of autism

>real film historians pussy out and say it can't be found
>autists like LSuperSonicQ and Dycaite actually dedicate their lives to finding a piece of lost media
How is it that autists can do their jobs better than actual film historians?

Adult cartoonfags and lost media fags are autistic, no suprise.

I think that all but one of these "grails" are children's tv cartoons, almost entirely from Nick and CN, really brings the point home

>Adult cartoonfags are autistic
>in Yea Forums, where the people who visit are 20 and higher
Did you get lost looking for user?

>Something like "London After Midnight" is most likely lost forever
We need to go back in time and get a copy of it, “Endgame” style.

Yeah, but before then we weren't sure if it even existed.

Yes. Back in 2008 when I had first gotten high-speed internet and went on all-night YouTube binges, one of my favorite things to search for was old Halloween commercials, horror movie trailers and specials. If you literally just typed ''Nickelodeon Halloween'' into YouTube's search bar you could find the movie uploaded in multiple parts on the first page. It had a decent number of views and comments too. It got taken down eventually, but the ''search'' had been going on for like, a year and half at least while it was still up.

I literally thought for the longest time that the search for Cry Baby Lane was some meme where everyone pretended to act retarded or like it was some variant of Candle Cove where everyone couldn't see the video or saw static. There were a few people who pointed out that the movie was easy to find, but compared to the numbers of people who thought it was missing, they were regrettably low.

Was that ever made outside of promo material?

It was revealed that this was simply unused material for a animated toy commercial that was scrapped in favor of a live-action one.

Thread, what's your favorite piece of (real) Lost Yea Forums Media?

Balor vs Andrade first and only match in Japan.

The guy that make this meme should be proud.

The MJ and Prince stuff is probably lost for at least a few more decades still, just straight up because there's actual legal bullshit actively preventing the release of this shit.

So is it real or not?

Yeah. Especially the songs MJ produced with will.i.am in '06.

Sort of? It's complicated

That sounds like a terrible combination

Just listen to The Girl Is Mine 2008 to see how a collaboration would've gone down.

Autism is a double edged sword
