ITT:Unproduced/ failed pilots

hey Yea Forums, how does one go about getting a pilot produced?

>10 episodes completed
>Jake and Elwood played by the brothers of the original Blues Brothers
>never aired due to last-minute legal bullshit
>8 episodes were shown once at a television festival
>will forever rot away in a vault in an undisclosed location

First, you go to the intersection of four roads at midnight on the night of a full moon. You draw a pentagram in the ground. You say the sacred incantation backwards three times. A man in dark clothes will approach you and ask you for your cartoon pitch.

It's a passion project from karl, but he's busy rn working on animaniacs

Either you make it on your own time with a small team you've assembled or all by yourself with additional VAs
Or you pitch the concept to the Network and they'll decide whether you're worth it or not and give you the money required to make a 5 minute pilot and if that 5 minute pilot is up and good then you'll get your show

I drove through Missouri about 8 years ago and "Elwood" was still doing a show in his persona.

The Lesbian Mice Show

Why can't we ever complain about stuff like this? Pokemon drops the national decks and they have thousands of people flooding there twitter, Nickelodeon steals the rights to this and holds on to it to prevent it from ever being made and nothing gets said. Yeah I know Yea Forums is pure autism, but surely we have some autism to?

Too many disney shill contrarians around here that actually defend the actions of large corporations for whatever reason and turn every thread about it into an argumentative shitstorm rather than a call to solidarity.

but what's the incantation?

It hurts that we don't live in a universe where Becky Prim is an ongoing series.

Screw-on Head is really cool too.

> Pokemon drops the national decks and they have thousands of people flooding there twitter,
>Thousands
Really now?

Cordie here on the right was some peoples' waifu for awhile.

It was flooded, the pr guy post some thing showing off a feature, and literally everyone was either saying bring back the national dex or shitting on the poor guy.

It truly was the 9/11 of pilots.

Should they sue
Bojack
Horse
Man?

yes

First design: OK, looks like a background character.
2nd design: Actually dynamic
3rd & 4th: College kid doodles during class.

omg so wacky

The Major Flake pilot is one of those rare times I loved something as a kid, then found it years later and the comedy actually held up.

God Screw on Head was so good why would they not pick it up?

fuck thats upsetting

I think I get why it wasn't picked up but it still makes me sad.

While reading the lost media article for this, there was a picture uploaded of a 1995 ad for various Film Roman animated productions, and the thumbnail underneath the Blues Bros animated series caught my eye for its super '90s edgy robot design. Seems to be called 21, I don't recognize it at all. Having trouble looking it up too, it's not on Film Roman's wiki page, and searching lost media doesn't turn anything up either. The tagline in the ad "A robot from the 24th century" actually has two matches in google, neither related.

Anyone remember seeing this?

Those character designs look familiar

This didn't deserve to go anywhere

god bruno the kid was so good

Might have been a bit Hot Topic, but I liked the idea of a gothic horror mystery show.

Cordie's great. Her facial animations were a treat the whole time.

Apparently it's an adaptation of the Top Cow comic "21" by Marc Silvestri and Billy Tan.
Couldn't find anything about and animated series though.

Love this pilot, suck a shame nothing more came out of it.

Good searching! Looks like there were only 3 issues made, puzzling that Film Roman got involved enough to advertise it with their other productions.

Looks like Silvestri was an original member of Image, and Top Cow was Silvestri's personal studio within Image. In 1996 Image was having disputes between its members over CEO Rob Liefeld, and Silvestri withdrew Top Cow from Image until Liefeld resigned later that year. Perhaps this is why an animated 21 never came out?

It's like a senior year animation project. It told it's story, brief as it was. Where else could it go, theme wise? She's dead.

ugh that animation

Now wouldn't the "tongue" injects venom?

It's not a tongue it's a weird spider thing they have. Basically poking the male's eye is a thing spiders do irl to signify they're up for mating or something along those lines.

Karl the creator of this short, said that he had multiple plot ideas and chose this one for the pilot because of its outlandishness

ITS GREAT AND THE VOICES ARE PERFECT.

Really? They bought permanent rights to the name for the sake of never letting anyone touch it?

Maybe they just licensed the IP with the intention to produce something?

Really bloody sad about this one, it would've made for some nice visuals and stories

Today i will fap then

The king of the dumpster.

Happens all the time.
Companies will buy the rights to a cartoon just so a rival company doesn’t get it.

And it will never ever ever ever ever EVER get made because of the Zone flash. I meam it probably wouldn't get picked up ever either way, but it's not like the porno would help it.

kitty bobo

No, it's literal millions of people. Everyone worldwide is going fucking nuclear, including japan.
I've never seen any fandom blow up this badly ever.

Was it really failed? I got the feeling that he was going to make another episode some time or another after the second wendigo short.

>The sad part is that Nickelodeon funded the creation of that short and now owns all of the rights to any future cartoon for it. And they’ll never let it get made.
Gee, that sounds really familiar...

i mean, the creator died, but that too.

never cared for this style of character design but I'll admit that the animatic made good use of it

>Was it really failed?
I wouldn't say so. Considering It wasn't a big dropped studio project, so much as it was one guy's animation work.

ho-lee shit I completely forgot about this and the other cartoons surrounding it
loved it as a youngster

Yes, but the webcomic’s supposed to be safe because Nick only bought the rights to making it a cartoon series.

Brian is especially on point.

Good, I hope whoevers running that company now gets there ass handed to them.

I hope this causes long term damage to pokemon as a whole

You're a very observational user.

thanks shadman

I'm not sure what you're complaining about. We already got an animated Blues Brothers.

this looked so cool

Hmm, the thing that comes off the top of my head is the animation for the manhua "Audience with Her Majesty the Queen". It had a PV made but the animation studio went under I think.

could you elaborate on that? what style do you mean/what other cartoons have used it poorly?

Too bad the show was intentionally killed... oh you didn't know? Yeah, the "parody" was an inside job. Zone is part of the Frederator network. The real question is why?

A palp? Usually spiders tap the ground with their two smaller front legs "Palps" as a signal for their desire to mate, though it's only the male that uses its palps to poke at the body of the female, which is to calm the female, and how sperm is transferred

They were talking about the spider girl

I dont think he was calling Cowboy Marco waifubait

remember that Deadpool show that was being made by Childish Gambino?

>the creator died
>his legacy is a failed pilot which porn parody was more popular than the actual thing

His legacy is just that to jackoffs on Yea Forums.
Chris Reccardi was still a major figure in animation during the 90s, a loving husband, artist with murals in luxury hotels, a musician and friend.
Who will mourn you?

It was just the flaivor of the month

My cat might start eating me after I die. I’m okay with this.

Just call them chinese comics, you motherfucking disgusting weeb

Fuck that was good

Oh fuck, that was absolutely adorable!

production budget was too high

After they lost Adventure Time to Cartoon Network they made sure another pilot would ever slip out of their fingers even if they never benefited from them.

I still wish hellbenders had a chance on AS

That's weird, Cartoon Network gave the rights to Longhair and Doubledome, another pilot they had back to the original creator years ago.

He's currently working on a graphic novel and a possibly a new short if he has the money

Attached: DwlDPCiVAAAJGIC.jpg (1200x674, 112K)

wait, if that's the case with studios, why CN still has the 12 Forever pilot on their site? Isn't it now a "Netflix Original"?

Not really failed, it was more of a personal project that he did, and it payed of great desu. Could definitely see this becoming something big in the future if he ever decided to pursue it.
