Other Franklin Turtle Stage Shows [partially lost]

Upvotes

Looking for any media related to the stage shows featuring Franklin the Turtle beginning with, as far as I know, "Franklin's Big Adventure" (based loosely on the book "Franklin's Class Trip") in 2000 by Tanglewood Family Entertainment. Other shows I know of include "Franklin's Class Concert" (also by Tanglewood), "Franklin and the Adventures of the Noble Knights" (by Koba Entertainment) and "Koba's Great Big Show Live" (also by Koba, obviously, a compilation including other Nelvana properties.) For "Franklin's Big Adventure," I have been able to find only the original description of the show and a few news articles and nothing else, other than the songs that were released on the album "Hey, It's Franklin!" For "Franklin's Class Concert," I was able to find a brief promotional video, but little other than that. "Noble Knights" has a few officially released clips on YouTube, a description, and song album. "Koba's Great Big Show" I was able to find the logo and description and nothing else.

I'd be interested in pictures of promotional brochures, photos from the shows themselves, if there is any merchandise that is out there, video clips if by some miracle any existing, etc. etc.

What little I have been able to find already can be found on the Franklin Wiki, https://franklin.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Stage_shows

Television [fully lost] No Going Back - Nicaragua (S01E02, Channel 4, 2002)

Upvotes

Channel 4 produced a series of documentaries back in 2002 about people moving to different places. One of them was about a couple that bought an island off the coast of Nicaragua and moved there with their children. It was one of the most disturbing documentaries ever aired (spoilers below). All the other episodes are available to view on the Channel 4 website (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/no-going-back/episode-guide/series-1) but not this one.

I've heard that there could be a legal issue with it ever re-airing, so I believe it's completely lost, but if anyone has it somehow, it'd be much much appreciated!

What happens in the ep: A woman (ex-porn star), her husband and their three kids buy and move to an island off the coast of Nicaragua hoping to set up a beach hut style resort. During the show she walks round topless and starts messing around with one of the beach-hut builders. When he turns out to be messing about with the maid too, she gets annoyed and he gets his marching orders. In return he tries to kidnap/murder the family. They escape and manage to hide standing dead still in a swamp throughout the night. At that point, the husband and the unschooled lonely kids want to go home. The lady (who named the island after herself) says no. The husband then gets very ill, suffers severe anxiety attacks probably due to PTSD and eventually dies of an asthma attack (I think because she forbid him to take his inhaler with him). Nonetheless, she vows to stay, despite a visit from a local delegation telling her to leave.

Video Games [UPDATE] [partially lost] “Toy Story 2: The Flash Game” / Shockwave game. Original game link and three soundtrack tracks found, but Level 3 and the original in-game music are still missing.

Upvotes

I just found the original link to the missing Level 3 of the Toy Story 2 Flash Game through the Wayback Machine, and at the same time it led me to something really interesting: the music of the game.

This material is not really documented at all on YouTube or Reddit, so I wanted to bring this back to life and share some new information I found while looking through the original Toy Story 2 website.

For years, only two levels of the game have been found, and those two levels are available on Flashpoint. But there is actually a third level that is known to have existed, and it has never been recovered.

There isn’t really much known about this third level. There is no screenshot, no gameplay, or anything like that. The only information I could find was some information about the Flash game from around two years ago on Reddit, along with some comments on YouTube.

After searching for more information about it, I found that there really was a third level, and I also found the original link to the page through the Wayback Machine.

The original page is archived, but the actual playable content for the third level doesn’t seem to be there anymore. There is also an SWF version of the Flash game available, but from what I can see, it only contains the two levels that have already been recovered.

Hopefully someday someone can recover Level 3, because it would be really cool to finally have all three levels of the game. It would also be great for people who love Flash games to experience this game again like it was back in the day, and maybe even discover more Flash games that we didn’t know existed, including their gameplay, music, and other content.

The music is another interesting part of this. The original music from the Flash game is still lost. The Flash versions that have been recovered on Flashpoint have the sound effects, but the original music isn’t available in the game.

However, while looking through the old Toy Story 2 website on the Wayback Machine, I found a link that contains the three tracks that were used for the game.

So even though the original music is still missing from the recovered Flash versions, the three tracks themselves can still be found through this archived link. We also don’t really know exactly how the three tracks were used in the game, or which parts of the game they were originally meant for.

It’s honestly interesting that even though so much of this game is missing, there are still these little pieces of it surviving through the original website and the Wayback Machine.

So right now, we have the two recovered levels on Flashpoint, the original link and evidence for the third level, and the three soundtrack tracks. But the actual third level and the original music as it appeared in the game are still missing and need to be recovered.

I know this could take time. It could take days, months, or even years. But hopefully someone can recover Level 3 someday, and maybe even the original SWF files and the original game audio. It would be awesome to finally see what the complete Toy Story 2 Flash Game was like.

I honestly didn’t expect to find this much just by going through the original links on the Wayback Machine.

If anyone has more information about Level 3, the original SWF files, the game’s music, or anything else related to this game, please let me know. Maybe someone out there still has an old hard drive, CD, computer, or archived copy that could help recover it.

Literature I have a seemingly lost non-fiction book, how do I archive it? [talk]

Upvotes

I got a book from my grandfather recently, "A Collection Of Bush Flying Stories: As told to Jack and Kitty Moar by the men who lived the adventure". When you look it up, the only thing that comes up is this Craigslist post https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/coquitlam-north-books-canadian-history/c58mQAmC9u8o7fsawzqXA9 (where it has been sold) and some kind of database from a Canadian museum? https://bcam.net/wp-content/uploads/By-author-July-2024.pdf . It doesn't even have an ISBN or anything, but it says it was copyrighted in 1991. I suppose it was just sold locally somewhere in BC. My grandfather lives in BC, but he wasn't the first owner, I'm guessing he got it at a used book sale (he frequents those).

I'm guessing most people don't even know it exists considering it doesn't seem to have ever been professionally published. But it's full of cool accounts from people born 100+ years ago and their experiences as early Canadian pilots. Definitely worth archiving.

What I want to know is how do I go about archiving this? Should I take a photo of every page (there's 155) or should I type it all out or what? I'd also like to avoid breaking the law, it has a copyright claim.

There's an address written down where you can purportedly order more copies of the book, but I don't want to post it cause it's literally just someone's house in Victoria and I'm not sure the same family lives there after 30 years.

Audio The Melody Boys Sing Sacred Selections [Archival]

Upvotes

https://youtu.be/yT_Ajx8XLVA

Hey folks,

Today's rip is the Melody Boys, a small, local gospel group from Farmersburg, Indiana. There was a far more famous group named the Melody Boys who was also singing gospel before, during and after this period, but that was a different group altogether who just so happened to share the same name. Something interesting to note about this one is that it's from Crusade Enterprises, who is also the same label who pressed another small gospel group I have from a completely different state, so it shows rhat these groups would have to travel far for a good studio to record at.

Television Personal Best - 00s TV Show [fully lost]?

Upvotes

I am curious if this has ever shown up yet. This is something I am not even sure is lost, and it is possible I could have this on tape somewhere, but I do not. This is a TV show I remember airing circa 2003–2007 on either WISH or another Indianapolis-area news station or local TV station. I think the name of the show was Personal Best, but I am not sure if that is a title or just a name I recall from a bumper or whatever. It followed three high school girls on a cheerleading team. If I recall correctly, Edgewood in Ellettsville, or a school somewhere in Southern Indiana near Bloomington was one of the high schools, another one was near Indianapolis, and that I can say for certain, and the third was some other town in central or northern Indiana. The premise of the show was following the team's journey throughout their entire season. I tried all of the obvious searches and got nothing. If this does come up, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, it is possible I could still have this and it is just rotting away in a storage unit in Terre Haute; however, when I was doing that whole search for 2004 tapes for YBD, I did not find this tape (and this is actually one I would have known whether I had it or not, as the title Personal Best was written on the tape itself), but I could have missed it. I would appreciate any efforts into finding this. Thanks a lot!

Internet Media [partially lost] Attacked by a Bear (or something) - Comedy Sketch starring Matt Jones (Badger from Breaking Bad) and Brian Huskey (reporter Leon West from Veep) - CollegeHumor or FunnyOrDie or similar

Upvotes

I marked this as [partially lost] because I have to believe it's still out there, because these are fairly well-known popular actors, and it was an extremely funny and well executed sketch. It was originally produced by College Humor or Funny or Die or Break.com or one of these similar comedy video sites but I don't recall which.

The sketch opens with a little get-together, sort of a casual dinner party hosted by I believe Brian Huskey's character and his wife. I'll refer to him as Brian. Either Brian's wife or Brian himself has invited Brian's friend, who is not at the dinner party yet. And Brian goes on to explain to the other guests that this friend is a little strange because the friend was traumarized by a bear attack, and that the friend is difficult to be around now because the bear attack is all the friend can talk about, so they should be warned.

Soon after, the friend arrives, played by Matt Jones. The friend seems a little off but not too bad, somewhat quiet. He is wearing a red and black plat shirt I believe, like kind of a lumberjack shirt. I always thought he was wearing a bad wig but that might actually just be Matt Jones real hair. The friend sits down and the conversation resumes normally and the friend seems to be somewhat quiet but participating normally, and not not giving any sign of the kind of behavior that Brian's character described. Brian's character can't resist throwing in some little jibes about the bear attack, but his friend doesn't really take the bait.

The climax of the sketch is a huge freakout on the part of Brian's character, where he screams at his friend to shut up about the bear attack, totally unprompted. Very similar vibes to Gabe Lewis from The Office and his "Shut up about the sun" freakout, but this sketch would have pre-dated that season of The Office, I'm almost positive.

I've actually spent a fair amount of time searching for this already. The difficulty is compounded by a different bear attack related comedy video already appearing on one of those above websites.

I remember it being a great little sketch, and that the engine of it was Brian Huskey's specific talent for extreme angry freakouts as well as sarcasm. I'm genuinely wondering if it was scrubbed for some reason. Random speculation: was the Gabe Lewis freakout written by the same person and wanted to remove the sketch for that reason?

Any help is appreciated!

Dubs [fully lost] Alternative Portuguese Jem dubs sold on cassettes that came with the Portugal dolls.

Upvotes

Link To Original Cassette Audio Snippet + Restoration

Hello! I am on a search for alternative Portuguese dubs on Jem songs that were exclusive to the cassettes in Portugal that were packaged with the dolls. All of these songs are lost except for one partially lost one that is proof that these dubs exist. Here is more info on the partially lost one:

A YouTube Channel called Jem e as Hologram as - Portugal recently posted a video that included different dubs of "Only The Beginning" and one of them was an unfamiliar Portuguese dub and according to the video is from the dolls. In a reply the channel owner responded that the audio was from another Youtube video that has been taken down.

This isn't the same as Brazil's dub that aired on TV and came out on VHS. The Brazil version is called "Apenas O Começo" while this Portugal version seems to be "Pois Isto É Um Começo" (Not speaking Portuguese very well myself this could be an inaccurate lyric) although since I don't have the physical cassette which ordinarily has the song names on it or even the Portugal doll box which usually lists what songs are packaged in, I can't determine the actual name of this version. Additionally the vocals are not by Sarah Regina who did the Brazilian TV version. At this time the specific backing and lead vocalists are undetermined.

The audio seems to be a snippet being only about 22 seconds long when the full song is about 1 minute 45 seconds long and even the shortened version is about 46 seconds long.

If you have any leads or information on finding the full version of this dub and the rest of these dubs please comment or contact me. If you have any of these tapes test them and digitize/rip the audio and send it to me. If you can't do that a simple audio recording of your tape player is also okay. I can restore low quality audio so don't worry about that. Additionally if you have any audio I would love it if you privately share the download link with me first so I can check it and restore it before sharing it publicly.

Any help on this case is appreciated! I hope we can bring joy to people by archiving and restoring these rare alternate versions!

Other [Partially Lost] Has anyone found new information on Mrs.Chip Dip?

Upvotes

Mrs.Chip Dip was a part of ‘The Splatter Series’ for the company Scare Factory as a Static prop, and I decided to put her as partially lost because she does have 3 photos known, one of her fully constructed from her page on Scare Factory’s website which is still up. (Mrs.Chip Dip’s Scare Factory Page) second of her from a YouTube video from Scare Factory of the Splatter Series line up of animatronics and props (Scare Factory Splatter Series Line Up) and third of an anonymous user who claimed his friend had Mrs.Chip Dip in their collection. (Imgur Link to Collector photo) Tho, there is still no video or audio of this animatronic which also led me to put her as partially lost. Ive been following also up on a lead from a TikTok comment, which said Mrs.Chip Dip was displaying in their school library in 2015-2016 for their schools annual haunted house celebration, and that’s all the info I know and if you have any info on the animatronic please share!

Audio [fully lost] Highscore Live forever and Black Nun Demos

Upvotes

In 1982, an obscure Scandinavian metal band in Sweden formed. We only know 2 tracks that they made but they made 2 demos. These demos are extremely rare. They were recorded songs or demo names called Live Forever (1983) and The Black Nun (1984). They also would work on a full album. The full album seemed to be never finished but there MIGHT be some recorded songs for it. They worked with someone called “Börje ‘The Boss’ Forsberg”. We only know them from Scandinavian Metal Attack, and obscure spilt release with other metal bands such as Bathory and Oz (not Ozzy Ozbourne.) I tried to look but couldn’t find any songs from the demos. If anyone has an idea of where to look, knows a member of the band or a producer, or is into this type of stuff.

Television [Partially lost] Bus Life.

Upvotes

Bus life was a live action series on Disney Channel in the early 2000's that consisted of very brief (3 - 5 minutes) episodes that would play during ad breaks in-between the real shows. The series took place entirely on a moving bus very rarely if ever filming elsewhere and concerned a group of English students (Secondary school? No sure can't really tell how old they are) and had stereotypical characters like skaters , goths , jocks , nerds etc.

The series had 13 episodes but only 2 of them can be found on the internet via Youtube and in not great quality. There's also a not very well detailed Wikipedia article for the series.

I assume the rest are in Disney archives if they are preserved at all. There's no way they are showing up on Disney + or getting rereleased anytime soon so they only real hope is more of them being randomly uploaded online.

Internet Media [Partially Lost] "Forever Misato" youtube channel archive.

Upvotes

This is a bit of a very extremely long shot but there was this youtube channel I never got to see called "Forever Misato" that has now been deleted from the platform, he made vlog videos about his personal life in the style of commentary over gameplay footage.

I have searched literally every corner of the internet for these channel's videos and nothing, even wayback machine, given it was a very small channel of only around 600 subs it is likely that the only hope is that someone else archived them.

Has anyone archived this channel's content?

If so please let me know so that we could talk and hopefully be able to give me these content for me to also archive and personal viewing as well.

Thank you.

Youtube [Partially Lost] YouTuber/sound designer going by the name Strelok

Upvotes

Anyone here remember Strelok? He was a sound designer on YouTube. He had his own channel and collaborated with other creators frequently. A lot of the sound design he worked on was for fan-made Undertale animations. I'm sure there was other work he did, but Undertale was a topic I remember seeing his name written on a lot. Here's one of the animations he made sound effects for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK-93GXrbUc

The description provides a link to his channel, but as you can see, that link is now dead. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNCHMpmIxt26Z5eUQij-KYA

What happened to Strelok? Why did his channel cease to exist? And what is he up to these days? I'm not sure if this truly counts as lost media or not, as Strelok's work is still preserved through the creations of the artists he's worked with, but the Strelok channel itself is currently lost, as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure if he's still active on any other socials or not. Any time I search the word Strelok, it takes me to the protagonist from the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R, so it's hard to find anything about the mysterious sound designer who goes by the same name.

Animation [found] Finally found a complete uploaded playlist of the dragon drive anime

Upvotes

I don’t normally post stuff like this but I’ve been looking for all of the episodes. I read the anime as a kid and loved it and after all these years I finally found at least a decent playlist. Not sure if anyone can upscale it or archive it somewhere but once it’s gone from that YouTube page it would be very hard to acquire again as the show was just uploaded a year ago (a few months after I gave up after searching for years and years). Idk just thought it’d be cool to share and maybe someone back it up.

Television [UPDATE] [Partially Lost] Baby Bob, CBS Sitcom that aired from 2002-2003

Upvotes

"Baby Bob is a cinematic masterpiece, a true delight."

- Gandhi, probably

The search for Baby Bob continues, and I'm happy to report that part of a lost episode has been found.

In my last update, I mentioned that the full Baby Bob series had aired on a German TV channel named ProSieben. What I didn't mention was that Baby Bob has also aired in the Philippines, Norway, Finland, Italy, and last but certainty not least, Brazil.

Brazil is perhaps more important than Germany however, as Baby Bob aired on channel SBT, under the name "Bob, o Bebê Falante". As far as I can tell, it aired for the first time in 2005, and had reruns there after, however I cannot tell when those ended. Not only that, but a 40 second clip of a previously lost episode was uploaded in the past to YouTube in Portuguese! I believe the clip is from the episode "Boys Will Be Girls", where this is the plot synopsis: "Bob is confused about his gender. After learning about the advantages of being a girl versus a boy, he wants to be a girl when he grows up. This, in turn, bothers Walter. Isn't he a good enough role model for his son? Walter discusses the problem with Sam the next day, and Sam immediately has an explanation: Bob spends too much time with women! To change this, they visit Eddie's barbershop—the last place where men can still be among themselves..."

This show truly is a cinematic masterpiece, and I will not stop until all five full episodes of Baby Bob have been found! I have reached out to the lost media communities in Brazil, Germany, and the Philippines, although I have yet to receive any tips.

I will continue to provide updates to all of my fellow Baby Bobers once I receive them, stay tuned.

Video Games [partially lost] Mickey’s Magical Maths World (Disney Imagicademy)

Upvotes

Mickey’s Magical Maths World was released in 2015 as part of Disney's Imagicademy series of educational games. It was an app that taught basic math through minigames revolving around small robots. There were five different "worlds" to explore, with each one teaching a different thing. The app could be downloaded for free, with limited versions of the worlds available as a trial. After that, the worlds could be purchased for $4.99 individually, or $19.99 as a bundle for all five.

It has since been delisted from the App Store, so the game itself is effectively lost media, though it's quite well documented by blogs and videos from the time.

I played it when I was very young, and just remembered about it today, but then found out that it was delisted. Any help finding it would be appreciated.

Dubs [partially lost] Seasons 1, 4, 5 of Breaking Bad with Bulgarian dub audio

Upvotes

This definitely exists. The Bulgarian wiki for Breaking Bad even has details on some of the voice actors under the "In Satan's Shoes in Bulgaria" (In Satan's Shoes aka "В Обувките На Сатаната" is the Bulgarian name for the show) section. https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0

Currently only seasons 2 and 3 can be found as torrents online (tagging this as partially lost because of this).

I searched for it really hard 2 years ago, but did not find it. I saw that someone made a post about it today as well, it seems to still be lost. I know it's a long shot, especially since it's difficult to search in Bulgarian, but I know you guys have done some amazing stuff, so it's worth asking maybe.

Youtube [Partially Lost] "The Lost Gate of Atlantis", a relaxing ambient music video by Vivanté (2025)

Upvotes

Perhaps it's fitting that a video named after Atlantis would be lost.

Although the title and other descriptors seem unremarkable, the music was hauntingly beautiful in a way I can't really put into words.

I've included all the solid details I've been able to locate at the bottom of this post. In short, the video was uploaded on July 7 2025, and privated sometime after August 1 2025. The uploader's account still exists, but under a completely different name, and with no public videos or way to contact them.

The following are my emotional impressions of "The Lost Gate of Atlantis".

The closest analogue for it might be the track "2/1" from Brian Eno's 1978 album Music for Airports. Give that link a listen if you can. It's a lone female voice (or perhaps a small chorus) singing wordlessly; it's melancholy, wistful, but calming, like the lonely wind blowing through a place that was abandoned long ago. Imagine that, but with the added audio of waves crashing on a distant shore.

In terms of YouTube videos, "The Lost Gate of Atlantis" was very similar to "the starships never pass by here anymore" by spiritual brother Sci-Fi. The name isn't descriptive, the image is generic, and the music itself could be called slow, repetitive; and yet it's evocative enough to inspire comments like this:

I still remember the nomads. Every year, a clan would arrive in their slender ships, pitch their embroidered tents, and teach for eight days. About medicine, smelting metal, practical things, but also music, poetry, their gods, their laws. They never accepted our gifts.

As years passed, the visits grew rarer, and the ships fewer. The nomads taught less and reminisced more: about their parents, or the games they played as children. Had we been poor pupils? No, they said, they were glad we still listened. But they were short on time.

We waited almost ten years for the last visit. A single ship, crewed only by a quiet old man who used to be a potter. He told us about a time before the ships, the cliff city where he was raised, digging clay by a wide river under a deep red sun. He asked us, please, not to forget.

The starships don't come here any more.

"the starships never pass by here anymore" is beloved, having close to a million views. But "The Lost Gate of Atlantis" was a hidden gem, with just a few thousand. It was also made by a much smaller channel, which only went by the name "Vivanté - Immersive Sounds".

I understand that trying to find a lost YouTube video is almost always a doomed endeavor. So why am I posting this?

Maybe somebody saved the video. Maybe the original creator will see this post and decide to bring it back. Or maybe this post is just a monument for the few people who might remember it. Even if it takes years, if anyone else also recalls "The Lost Gate of Atlantis" and searches for it, they can gather here and know they're not alone.

If you are the creator of this video, or if you remember it, or even if you're just curious, please reach out. This video helped me through some dark times, and I'd love to discover it again, or at least reminisce.

Found [Found] Keys To Your Hummer - The Valli Girls

Upvotes

The Valli Girls was a short lived girl group comprised of Danielle and Este Haim, Ally Maki, Lil Nix and Raquel Houghton. In November I’d reached out to both Lil Nix and Raquel to find the song, one of their only songs not already online, but they didn’t have it. Until yesterday, where Lil Nix sent me the song and said she’s planning on ripping the CD that it came from, because it is possibly the only CD of their unreleased debut album.

This journey was a trip because it’s the first piece of lost media that I put in the effort to find. I feel comfortable claiming I’m the number 1 Valli Girls fan and a steadfast member of Valli Nation.

Music [fully lost] Strange "AI" sounding music released in early 2023

Upvotes

I have the names of artists, albums, and tracks, but I can't find the actual music anywhere. They all followed similar strange naming schemes, and many of the albums were released all at once. Some of the artist names included Tame Witted Latitude, Crippen Record, Truants Vivid, Co One Quick, Staphylococci Waffle, etc. They all followed this eerie, hollow ambient theme with the same instruments. I will also add that I found them via YouTube recommendations giving me a video in early 2023 of Enfolder by Tame Witted Latitude, posted on the Various Artists - Topic page. I will link a spotify playlist below containing info pertaining to these unfindable tracks. Playlist of removed tracks
