A Look at Fascinating Cartoon Pilots - SpongeBob, Jimmy Neutron, Sonic & More!

- Cartoons can have such fascinating histories, given how much goes into making them! When making a cartoon, you need to develop the characters, the setting, you need to make a pitch for your show and think of episode ideas, and eventually if you're lucky, you'll have to make your pilot episode!
A pilot episode is an episode of a show that's basically a test, to see what works and what doesn’t, along with giving the network or producers a good idea of what the final show will be like, if put into full production. Pilot episodes are often created several months to years before the final show enters production, and as such they often have many interesting differences compared to the final show!
In this video, we'll be going over some of the most interesting cartoon pilots out there. We'll be showcasing the development histories of shows like Jimmy Neutron, SpongeBob Squarepants, the many Sonic The Hedgehog cartoons, The Fairly OddParents, Family Guy, and many more! We'll even discuss pilots you can't find nowadays, as many of them have become lost media.

Fun fact: Phineas and Ferb wasn’t picked up until 16 years after the creators made the pilot
Never give up, people!
Ahead of it's time
To put that into perspective the Soviet Union still existed when it was made
After 16 years of trying, Povenmire landed a pitch with Disney. The network did not immediately accept the show, but told Povenmire they would keep the packet. Povenmire assumed this meant an end to negotiations, aware that the phrase usually "means they throw it in the trash later." Disney then surprised him by accepting.
From 1994, To 2007.
When it says “SPONGEBOB SQUARPANTS!” it sounds like they’re announcing he’s being added to Smash.
I can imagine his victory theme being the last bits of the theme song from the last title drop to the flute.
funnily enough at one point I think the creator had the option to put SpongeBob in smash Bros.
JDReC100 no he didn't also yeah it reminds me of the SSE character banners
@@JDReC100 Nah, he wouldn't do that, he ain't dumb XD.
SpongeBob gets announced for Smash in a special Switch version exclusive scene in Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated
The first Sonic X pilot was perfect, no humans, NO CHRIS, and took place in Sonic's world.
SonicS13 yeah that would be great but c h a n g e s where made sadly
No, it really wasn't. It was just so basic.
@@SirBlackReeds Meanwhile, IDW's take on the Sonic franchise, which takes place ENTIRELY in Sonic's world, has introduced several new fan favorite characters, and makes great use of the games' lore. All while starting off with the most basic possible first issue, "Robots attack furries, Sonic helps." Sometimes the start of something is B A S I C because you need to get people paying attention before you branch out. Sonic X had the success that it did only because the Adventure games laid the groundwork of Sonic interacting with humans.
Eggman was a human!
@@Nekufan1000000 That was a finished product, not a _pilot._ There's a difference, especially when factoring in the different mediums.
In Latin America the SpongeBob pilot has been shown in the original way a lot of times with good quality, even now a days
I am Brazilian and I don't remember it, and I watched I N K L E M O N A D E on TV
Can You give a link ? I AM from latinamerica and i didnt remember the pilot
I'm also from Latin America and I don't remember ever watching it, but I do remember watching "Help Wanted" a few times though.
cuando no sabes la diferencia entre el piloto y el primer capitulo oficial
No it wasn’t
Damn the animation on Drake and Josh was really ahead of its time. It looks so realistic.
That's the future of animation. So yeah Drake and Josh was ahead it's time. Lol
They were literally decades ahead of their time
I can see a r/woooosh from a mile away.
@@rthenoob7474 how did you know that i'm a redditor?
but Drake and Josh isn't a cartoon
Jimmy neutron pilot looks like a chinese bootleg cartoon.
U r right
I actually saw Johnny Quasar a few times online, and I didn't have context of it until I watched this video. Up until now, that was exactly my reaction, and what I thought Johnny Quasar was.
It’s not the pilot, but the demo.
@@korrintraska7625 cool
3 D animation wasn't as good back then
Fun fact: Seth McFarland and Butch Hartman also work on Johnny Bravo together.
Those 2 men would make an egotistical to show like that XD.
@@devisrina huh?🤔
As well as Dexter's Laboratory.
AWESOME
@@devisrina they did not create it..it was made by van partible ...
There was a pilot episode for Bob the Builder made back in 1997,and that’s been found after 23 years,the pilot featured early designs of Bob and Scoop (who at the time was known as Digger) and was only approximately 120 seconds long,it was made by Ealing Animations and was created to pitch the series to HiT Entertainment, Neil Morrissey still voices Bob in the pilot,whilst Stuart Greenall voices Digger.
There was a similar thing with the playhouse Disney show (well now Disney Junior cause of the name change back in 2011/2012) called Handy Manny which is a show that is similar to Bob the builder basically and like Bob the Builder there is a pilot (which is partially found but still lost cause based on the lost media wiki it’s roughly 11 minutes long) and the Handy Manny pilot was made by DKP studios (now called Jam Filled Toronto) and was directed by Kyran Kelly who is known to be involved for the movie Gnomeo and Juliet (as a designer), some of the Barbie movies (as a art director), etc.
While as of me making this comment, we don’t know for sure what the pilot is about (since all of the information I can find for now are vague) but there is a few second demo reel where you see Mr Lopart (who is Manny’s neighbor who sells candy basically) and Manny’s tools which similar to Scoop in the Bob the builder pilot, some of the tools do look different (both big and small) for example with Squeeze (who is Manny’s pliers) is only grey with her eyes are on her sides where as in the final product where she is mostly grey but her handles is green where as her eyes are more on the top but further out compared to characters like Rusty (who is the monkey wrench) which is really interesting!
@@moonbased7796 Squeeze is My favorite
Theres a new version of it now. I saw it the other day and was super disappointed

From sonic the hedgehog:|
Its always fascinating how drastically different shows looks like prior to their series become a thing
It’s almost always a treat when the pilot has a whole lot of differences
The Clarence Pilot almost looks exactly the same as the final show.
I remember watching the Pilot for Regular Show. Most characters had their series' final look but the animation style made it look like a completely different thing.
Mordecai's side features (especially his white feathers) reached all the way to his eyes, and his eyes also had a very slight tint of yellow. Rigby had far bigger eyes at some points while his hair was much shorter.
spongebob’s original big band intro slaps tho
It's also weird how we're used to the one we see but when we see the concept art we see them differently and new
Sonic in the 90s: haha Mario is stupid
Sonic in the 2000/2010s: nintendo fund me pls
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nintendo only did friends with sega bc both are nice (i think sega is better in some things)
pls beg mercy nintendo
Sadly yeah
I’m glad Sega and Nintendo get along now; it’s nice to see two companies being friendly competitors with each other.

The whole 90’s-00’s was just a giant euphoric and nostalgic era
Some of the greatest and original cartoons/tv shows of all time came from that era. The downside was that A LOT of shows became copy and paste compared to now. There are still copy cats and genres now, but for every one modern day copy cat, there are 5 totally radical 90’s animal action shows lol but I miss it.
@@sosmooth13 I have memories to shows from the PBS channel. That channel was so so good back then but now, if it even runs, probably has old reruns, but I doubt that partially. Even the animating styles were somewhat better in the old shows compared to new shows. Some styles have improved, whereas others have declined. It's just a giant blast to the past.
I can firmly and confidently say that 90's-00's was just a giant fever dream
It's weird to think how, if Spongeboy weren't trademarked, we could all be watching Spongeboy Ahoy!
Sounds better tbh

@@mystari4445 i dont get it
@@mystari4445 True!
I lived near the ocean institute (which is what we called it) and had field trips to it 3 separate times in elementary school. (My school was literally 5 minutes away up the hill) in every time I went, even outside of school, I am incredibly surprised no one ever told us that the man who made spongebob came up with the concept while working there. My trips to the ocean institute were in the early 2000's extremely close to the beginning of the show.
How do you feel about the demolishing the tall ship?
The pilot for MEGAS: XLR was an interesting situation. It was a 15 minute short that aired as Lowbrow during the What A Cartoon showcase, and then was reworked into a full 23 minute episode titled Test Drive. The designs were more or less the same, but the animation in the short was more exaggerated and "cartoony". While some shots were reanimated for Test Drive, several of them were reused from Lowbrow which caused an interesting contrast. It didn't feel out of place, though, and the reanimated segments were somewhere between the pilot and later episodes in style to make the transition a bit less jarring.
Still one of my favorite series to date.
Same! one of my favorites as well.
The art styles were pretty close, the only really jarring contrast was the way they opted to design the eyes, where the pilot used just pupils while the final version included the whites of the eyes.
It's so interesting to see how accurate the landscape of the Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog pilot is to Green/Emerald hill (12:49)
It's Emerald Hill Zone I think.
@@marianokaz1503 green hill and emerald hill are pretty much the same

It’s extraordinary to think that a simple sketch or a simple tech demo can lay the groundwork for what has been a huge part of people’s childhoods and lives as a whole.
I love how Drake and Josh is randomly thrown in the thumbnail
And then there is Nazo who came from a fan animation of sonic (I know that because I watched it when I was younger, good times)
@@rockhistoria2537 No he didn’t, he came from a early pilot to Sonic X, its in the video.

"I will never get tired of Family Guy"
I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse
Just for that heart pin I'm subscribing after discovering this channel, great stuff man!
That really depends. While it is true that its post-cancellation episodes zigzag in quality, its pre-2002 cancellation episodes were good (and, along with Futurama and South Park, the perfect cure for those who had to give up watching The Simpsons due to that show's decline in quality. To me, it happened in season ten when every episode felt like it was trying too hard to be funny. Then Phil Hartman was murdered, and that just ruined everything).
Its a curse, you DO get tired of it, but no matter how tired of it you get, you can't stop watching it.
Blameitonjorge
It’s a blurse
So that makes sense when Mr Krabs called Spongebob "Spongeboy Me Bob" in that one episode
Mr. Krabs calls him that even to this day I think.
In that one episode?
Do you realize how little that narrows it down?
@@TheDigitalApple i don't think he's ever said it more than once
Every time after that is "me boy" or "boy-o"
Your positive attitude approach to the videos is SO appealing dude. The narration is so beautiful to listen to
I want there to be a spongebob DVD called: "Spongebob: Square Roots" where it has a slideshow of concept/storyboard art, a digital copy of "The Intertidal Zone" and maybe a few of the very first episodes, and of course, an HD render of the 1997 pilot
I guess “Square Roots” was already taken.
Late response, but in Spongebob Season 1 DVD there is a documentary about the origins and initial concepts, it's on youtube as a Behind the Scenes documentary, it's really good and shows the Pitch Bible (also now leaked and online)
@@StringedGuitar17 holy crap that’s actually really good I’m adding that
25:46
Cosmo and Wanda’s introduction scene here really fascinated me after I realized that the first movie essentially updated and re-animated this exact scene when Timmy is being shown a quick flashback to when Cosmo and Wanda appear for him for the first time.

FUN FACT: This pilot, in particular, was created by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Brian Cosgrove and was supposed to be a musical TV show. The rights were never given by the creator of the original book series, and so the concept was dropped. It took another 9 years before the pilot for the show that was actually produced was made, which is also almost completely lost.
Ah yes. Classic Starlight Express lore

Butch Hartman graduated from the same high school I was in so a couple years ago he came into my class to talk about his career. I was even the one to escort him from the office. His mom was with him and they were in the office chatting up with the ladies in there. For whatever reason I didn't really care so I was calm which was good. Butch asked questions about the school and stuff. In the class he drew some stuff on the entire whiteboard (which my teacher didn't erase for the rest of the year). Nice guy. It was weird seeing someone "famous" in such a natural relaxed setting. This dude wore skinny jeans with a suit jacket.
AvaKazoo this is a rare glimpse of his life before he let his career deteriorate am with Oaxis and stuff. I still respect him as a creator although it's sad how he's fallen
Butch it's a weird case of a really nice guy but also a person who never learned how to deal with mistakes or problems, even "public" mistakes, like a kind of "avoid conflict at all costs" guy
Spongebob was called spongeboy, what if that’s why mr krabs says “spongebob me boy!”
Don't you mean Sponge-boy me bob?
@@boygame1955 lol
SPONGE BOY ME BOB

*SPONGE BOI ME BAHB*
I can’t believe that I can listen to a man talk about cartoon pilots for almost 40 minutes and still find it great
something people do not realize about a fictional character is they usually are made with a secret truth only they know and no one else on the staff characters in the show or the fanbase knows and its told to the voice actor by the creator so it can be sorta in the back of their mind when they need motivation....it can be a character being gay actually inside or knowing something he should not or just something simple as being mad at a certain character for a petty reason....that i think enhances a series...a character does not reveal everything to us or their friends...that makes them feel real
13:09 Can't unsee that. XD
No wonder Sonic calls him roBUTTnik in the show
Johnny Quasar's name honestly sounds like a pizza place.
Walmart brand Little Caesars
Sounds like a weird off brand Chuck E. Cheese
There's a restaurant chain in the Boston area called Johnny Rockets
funny you say that, the name Johnny Quasar was actually a nickname given to Jimmy Neutron's creator by the staff of his Mother's restaurant.
They called him Johnny Quasar: Spade Cadette
*the pizza is aggressive*
Honestly jimmy quasar or how ever you say that sounds funny but Johnny is terrifying
Johnny Quasar sounds like a Bond villain
@@smeltstarverse7306 It Does
there's something very comedic about going "or how ever you say that" in text
Conansboy I wrote that before his name showed up in the video and didn’t want to be called out if I typed it wrong 😂
There was a time I literally confused Johnny Quasar with Johnny Quest
The As Told By Ginger pilot is absolutely nightmare-inducing, it's actually hard to believe it's that scary!
Jimmy Neutron was a movie I obsessed over as a kid. The fact that the idea was written and demoed around the time I was 2 years old boggles my mind. I remember when it came out I was 9 years old.. crazy
Why was there never an episode of Jimmy Neutron that introduced bootleg boy-genius rival Johnny Quasar!? He could confront Jimmy and claim that he's the real owner of Goddard! He could even have a weird bootleg version of his family featured in that test still image. But of course he's secretly evil
It'd be like that Amazing World of Gumball episode with the Chinese ripoff family ("The Copycats" from season five).

That's actually why it was cancelled, the creators didn't want to run out of game material too quickly and confuse kids by having a different story than the games
And both companies don't want to share profits ( from what I have heard)

I remember having a Jimmy Neutron toy based on the movie that came with one on the Yolkians. It was weird bc Jimmy had a yellow shirt with the red neutron logo. Never really realized Merch was made before the final product until I watched this video.

15:42 Shadow is miscolored in this shot in a way that makes him look like Mephiles.
I wonder if that's where the creators of Sonic 06 got the idea from.
I think nazo/hyper sonic also was reworked to become silver in 06
@@Milenazj Possibly...
@@Milenazj You know if that is true that honestly would make Silver very interesting when put next to Sonic and Shadow.
I'm sure a lot of people subscribe to the fan theory that Gerald Robotnik based Shadow off of the Echidna's prophecy of Super Sonic that you can see in Sonic 3. That's why Shadow's quills curve up like that and the reason Gerald decided to use a hedgehog to be the ultimate lifeform. It would be interesting if at one point Silver was intended to be to Hyper Sonic what Shadow is to Super Sonic.
Jester? What if he wasn't miscoloured?
I think I saw the original airing of the SpongeBob pilot. I swear I've seen that intro before, and I know I sat down to see the show premiere. It aired the same week as my 6th birthday. Still going on so many years later too. The little Sponge keeps on going

I know this isn't a cartoon pilot, but Robots 2005 is a very interesting movie. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. There's a video from Blue Sky Studios made in 2004 called a Sneak Peek of Robots and it showcases a lot of almost fully polished cut scenes, concepts, and characters. I wonder what the movie could've been before the final version. I hope to see more canceled concepts and scenes released. That movie is barely talked about.
See a need fill a need :)

So many of these iconic shows out there really have some interesting pilots and prototypes for their characters and animation! So interesting!
Just stumbled upon this channel and I love it! Keep up the good work PatMac! Currently binge watching your videos.
Pilot episodes always fascinated me, glad I'm not the only one that shares this interest.
"Hey it's 2005, and digital editing is very much a thing, should we correct the pigment change on this, since we're releasing it as a movie?"
"Nah"
Nazo being from the sonic x pilot is insane. Also with the adventures of sonic the hedgehog pilot I swear I watched that as a kid.
You forgot to mention that the name of the villain was changed from robotnik to eggman.
12:29 - Dr. Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine continue screen. Animation and all.
Miraculous Ladybug's pilot was 2D animated. It had an anime feel to it more so than it's now established 3D animation. As for the characters, the only one who had the most drastic change was Adrien, who was originally an entirely different character named Felix.
And in the episode “Felix” the original Adrien(Felix) was created as Adrien's cousin, which is why they look identical.
Nya, wow. Usually the pilot looks slightly worse than the rest of the series but this must be the first time i've seen the opposite. If 2D had stuck around I'm pretty sure I'd be a fan of the show right now.

This is an awesome video! The one thing I really would’ve appreciated is a short comparison for each show between the style of the pilot and the final product. I watched most of these, but don’t remember how they looked exactly. The Kirby show in particular-you mention that the final had 3D animation as well as 2D, but I didn’t remember that and had to go looking for it in another video. Again, awesome work. Super informative and incredibly nostalgic
_Pilots are always an interesting piece of television media. They lay the ground work of what a show is or can become._
The Full House Pilot with John Posey playing Danny Tanner messed me up as a kid.
Man, I was really hoping for the Adventure Time pilot, which Nickelodeon turned down years before its actual release.
If you haven't seen the Adventure Time pilot yet, do it.
The Adventure Time is really well know, in the video he's talking about the most obscure ones
@@pauloreimer1684 I would have thought so too, but the SpongeBob one is really well known - much more well known than Adventure Time.

21:10 - Why did I imagine *Cowboy Bebop's 'Tank!'* theme over this pilot intro..? Just me who caught spy thriller vibes?
With all that stuff about Fairly Oddparents, now I fully understand why Butch Hartman's got a huge ego
So you're telling me we could've gotten Sonic X without Chris, in Sonic's world, where the only human is Eggman? Come on people we need to find a way to reach that timeline it sounds like a better Sonic X
yeah I agree Chris was ok but he cause almost too much trouble, honestly, i agree so much with you.
The possibilities with that old setting is endless! I wonder if someone will make a fan series inspired by that 🤔
Because it is an anime, they've always got to include humans as the main characters, and I can't even think of a single anime show that has only animals as the main characters at all. :P
Casey Decker what is with Hamtaro?🤔
I gotcha fam. D4C!
Great Video! I think you should talk about lost media from Thomas and Friends! It has quite the amounts of lost media! Such as a cancelled episode called "The Missing Coach". Anyways, Great Video! The ending was really inspirational and I love the research put into it!
Agreed
18:35 this is actually quite cursed,
For context the enemy Kirby inhales (Gordo) is actually completely invanrable
Nobody:
DIC Entertainment in the 90s:
( *Looks left* ).....
( *looks right* ).....
(* *inhales* )
“ *D E E E E E E E E E K* “
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT FUCKING WAS I HAVE THE DVDS OF THE SONIC CARTOONS AND IT WAS LOUD AS SHIT IT WAS FUNNY SIEBEIEB
Aka DO IT CHEAP
bean sama hahah yeah I had a bunch of secondhand VHS tapes at my grannies house that she bought from a rummage/thrift shop and they were all like off-brand fairytale generic Disney-ish cartoons and a lot of them were from DIC entertainment and it always had the same weird ass intro/outro of some high ass voice saying “DIC!” loud and high-pitched hahaha. Major nostalgia
I love the DIC Mario series
@@orcatwar9810 Should I mentioned DiC with Sailor Moon, Speed Racer X, Knights of Zodiac, and few 2000s IP like My Friend Martin and others?
**Sonic X originally had animals instead of people**
Well now I’m disappointed
Okawa.
Tornado1994 what?
I'm so disgusted too, when I was a kid, I didn't like Chris and all these humans, it doesn't fit with Sonic's universe!
I'm the 69th like
Mercedes Gabriela Moreno Rodriguez nice
Nice video man, good job
i love your videos so much!! you obviously really care about the media you cover
I love how different pilots are compared what a series becomes, because they show what ideas they could’ve used.
its always nteresting to think how different a show and its characters/story would be if certain or al things from its pilots remianed as is.
That "The Life of Larry" short, in some ways, looks better than actual Family Guy
Agreed.
I think it does in every way.
Certainly better than everything past 7 or so.
Oh, defo. Yes. Family Guy gradually brought about its own downfall in some ways.
I’m so glad lost pilots are at least archived because they really are the most important part of anything
The Bamimation pilot should have been mentioned. Yep, Bam Margera could have starred in his own cartoon on MTV.
As a cartoonist in my last 8 weeks of art college, I really appreciated the encouragement to artists at the end! This was so inspiring! =)
Honestly, I'd love to see a 2-D cartoon on "Johnny Quasar", the designs were adorable and reminded me of old comic strips ("Peanuts", "Calvin and Hobbs", etc.). It also reminds me of 80's Saturday morning cartoons, which I've always found incredibly appealing. I'm glad that we got "Jimmy Neutron" out of it, as I loved the show as a kid and vividly remember picking up the movie from a local movie rental store, but I wish "Johnny Quasar" could have come to fruition as it was.
Same here sister.
Maybe one day some fans would come together and make a fan animation about these character designs, Because they are indeed top notch good. 😃
It's fun looking back at concept art for shows.
I think it teaches creators a very important message: That not all initial ideas are a final product. You start with the roughs, and work your way to refine it. An idea might not work out now, but if you keep moving forward to develop it, you can create something extraordinary. :)
I like Tak and a power of jujus pilot. They used Taks model from the staff of dreams video game. Even him weilding the staff of dreams before they finalized it with him having is own staff that used to belong to his mom who was a juju. Jeera and keeko also looked completely different in the pilot compared to the finalized version. And I found story boards where the intro song was extended to probably twice as long and it seemed more of like a stage performance
