Canimals: The History and Lost

[@finchii]

DISCLAIMER This video has been in production since September 13th, so it is a total coincidence with two Canimal lore videos releasing within a day of eachother. I also contacted mung, who was completely fine with me posting my own video, just to clear any thoughts up! Second, go check out the lost media wiki for the show! Many things have updated since I rendered this video, and is continuing to update currently! Go contribute if interested! canimals-prototype-project.fandom.com/wiki/Canimals_Prototype_Project_Wiki lostmediaarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Lost_Canimals Third, the audio in this video is.. Trash to say the least. I do not own a proper microphone yet, as I do not have the current costs to get one. However, I will be looking to get one in the near future. Thank you if you tolerate it LOL Finally, this just makes me mad, I have a few editing errors in this, so ignore that..

[@channelforarchivalpurposes]

Thanks for linking the Canimals Prototype Project wiki, and for the record I don't only care about Canimals lost media and I don't care about only it specifically. I'm also looking for other lost stuff, mostly other works produced by VOOZ like Myo & Ga

[@finchii]

​@@channelforarchivalpurposesI definatly wanna look more into the company, since it has so many things to offer.

[@channelforarchivalpurposes]

​@@finchiiIf you've seen Pucca before, I definitely recommend checking out the Lost Media Archive page for Myo & Ga too. VOOZ also created some other characters too like Animalcraft and Mura: Military Pigs

[@eglol]

That is always CRAZY when random videos about a similar topic but made separately get released and so close to each other (meaning they were being made at the same time too). I don't know how it's possible except for if there's a reason for why many more people would think about it like it suddenly gets popular or something... But that didn't happen with Canimals, right? Anyway, I watched some of this show when I was younger and thought it was pretty weird but interesting.

[@finchii]

@@eglol i knew about the show since I was little like I explained. I saw people covering shows that were largely forgotten and I wanted to take a crack at it, then boom a seperate video came out during the production of mine.

[@thebiggesttree74]

As someone who LOVED canimals, it’s nice to see people look into it. I had watched it on Netflix along with Pound puppies, Slugterra, and Digimon. I loved these little canned animals as a kid and I still do love them, I do plan on rewatching season one since it’s now on KZbin so I’ll be a nice trip through memory lane!!

[@EvilBandeez]

You and I were interested in the same things and I find that very amusing.

[@CyberNylah]

Greetings, fellow Canimal fan! I am one of the people who found the Angry Runner Pilot of the series. It was kinda hard to find for myself but it’s totally worth the time and upload! And I will review Canimals Season 3 after it comes out. It looks AWFUL.

[@finchii]

hi thank you so much for your hard work!! it really is worth it, lost media is always exciting! season 3 has caused great fear within me

[@channelforarchivalpurposes]

As the person who found the Angry Runner Naver Blog post, I find it funny how you credit yourself for finding Angry Runner and want credit for it when you not only don't own Canimals but I found it and you just took it from the Canimals fandom wiki as you mentioned in your upload's description. Not hating, but you did NOT find it

[@CyberNylah]

@@channelforarchivalpurposes I said ONE of the users who found it, not the exact person who found it.

[@CyberNylah]

@@finchii And even worse, Canimals posted some Squid Game/FNF stuff on KZbin a few years ago. Thankfully, a comment in one of the videos told them to stop. And they did so. But since they are trying to copy Fall Guys in their Canimals Season 3 trailer, it seems like that they only care about being wannabes now. I’ve already hated the Pucca series that they’ve created and now this?!?

[@channelforarchivalpurposes]

@@CyberNylah You still didn't find it. Taking it from a FANDOM page mentioning it and finding the original source upload from Naver Blog are two different things. Not trying to be rude, I appreciate that you re-uploaded it to KZbin since my original upload was gone

canimals brought back those memories hidden deep in my brain

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

I remember watching that _Canimals_ on Disney Channel back then. The art style fits into the Frutiger Metro or Superflat Pop category alongside with _Domo_ and _Pucca._

[@andrescube64]

Oh my gosh, I remember this show. I watched all the episodes when I was younger on Netflix.

MORE CANIMAL VIDEOS?? Gotta start making one of my own

[@AbbieFPEEE]

I was looking for this show!! Really nice knowing people remember this show!

[@Fzy-j]

19:43 Omg that brings back a lot of memories, I remember downloading the talking Oz in my iPod touch (Inthink it’s still there) And the pictures you showed for the merch, I have the plush key chain and mug, knowing they’re rare and no longer around and people are searching more about Canimals feels surreal for me already that much time passed for Canimals and I kept some of the last remaining of it, specifically for Canimals Oz, what an honor?

[@Greendreamcastcontroller]

I loved this show as a kid me and my sister got plushes of ato, oz and mimi for Christmas like over a decade ago lol. I think I was watching the show daily as well, when it was on tv at least..I think I had dvds too. Great video!!

[@R-PGamerKing]

wait they had plushies

[@Greendreamcastcontroller]

@@R-PGamerKing they did! I remember the show had a lot of merch, at least in Australia. I vividly remember seeing a mimi water bottle at a shop once

WHAT DUDE I LOVE CANIMALS !! such an awesome callback to find in my recommended

[@50cksie]

i used to watch canimals so much when i was younger

[@zfahia]

This is so real, like, I was always crazy about this cartoon that I couldn't stop watching, when I got out of school, in the afternoon I turned on the TV and started watching Canimals, I felt pure nostalgia, I loved the episodes, I watched them on Netflix and I don't know if I have photos or old drawings of this cartoon... but anyway, I didn't even know there was lost media of this cartoon and thank you for the link to watch the pilot episode of Canimals!

[@MemePavo]

I remember a bit of this show I think on Netflix or something.

[@ThatBoi64]

0:12 i watched larva as kid😭😭😭

[@sclugglythescug]

I watched ‘Cam and Leon’ and ‘Twirlywoos’

[@Philippines-j4m]

Oi oi oi

[@ecotecot8822]

I love larva man😭😭

[@DJOGEO]

HOLY HELL I FORGOT ABOUT THIS I used to watch this years ago! I honestly thought this was gone forever, I recognized that character in the thumbnail and clicked faster than people say “omg 1st!!!11!”

[@CyberNylah]

According to the description of the Canimals Season 3 trailer, it says that a Canimal took the AirPods of a kid and ran into the Canimal world. I find this incredibly stupid because I thought the Canimals decided to call planet Earth home, and now they only keep their belongings in their planet instead of in a random house/place? And not only that, THEY CAN TALK NOW! If you listen closely in the trailer, you can hear Oz saying “Hurry up!” and “Come on!”. Which really got me upset because I found the concept of the Canimals not talking and only making animal sounds extremely cute. And now that Vooz threw in some random voice actors for them completely ruined the nature of the characters being animal-like creatures.

[@finchii]

@@CyberNylah I plan on making a follow up video when this all comes out, and I am just.. Not ready.

[@HayleyHoover-c8x]

I remember this show when I was younger, I used to watch it on Netflix a lot, but I kind of forgot about it but recently It's been showing up in my feed

BRO I USED TO WATCH THIS SO MUCH AS A KID, AND I LOST IT AND NEVER SAW IT AGAIN-

[@lilylookittykyu3115]

I LOVED this show omg!!! You unlocked a lost memory thank you 😭 Ps. My favorite character was OZ (and all the other cats though. I loved the black and white cat but i forgot his name 💀)

[@finchii]

the one that was tiny and became big and angry? that would be pip

[@lilylookittykyu3115]

@@finchii Ah yes Pip! I remember when i was younger I wanted two cats that looked like Oz and Pip because they were just so cute 🥺 maybe I can actually adopt cats now and name them after them lol 😂

[@yournonlocalartist]

i found this video 3 months late but i remember this show :DD i lived in south korea during my early childhood so i watched canimals along with a bunch of other korean cartoons (like larva, pororo the little penguin, tayo the little bus, etc) and they were all very fun to watch at the time :3 i might rewatch canimals when i feel like it i also have a piece of canimals merch sitting around my house, an ato piggy bank specifically!! (i have a vivid memory of buying it 🥹)

[@RowletTheOwlet]

I remember when I was a kid, my favorite episode was the cake one (I forgot the exact name). Where these people leave a cake on the table of a cafe that's shaped like a cat, one of the cat canimals sees it and falls in love with it and fights with some of the other canimals. Throughout the episode, the cake keeps getting messed up and looking like different animals that the other canimals fall in love with.

One of my childhood shows

[@nullbodymusic]

I had so many of the apps as a kid!!! I wonder I could recover them on my old iPad and iPod touch, I'll definitely see if I can contribute to the media hunt

[@fuzzypeanutmoon]

I watched that show when I was sick in elementary school. I think those might be the reason for my love of pixies and fairies

[@skootergirl22]

This did air in the UK under ether CITV or POP

[@SamInsaneGaming]

man I watched canimals on netflix back then, funny seeing it now blow up a bit

[@channelforarchivalpurposes]

I once had a Twitter account (no I'm not gonna fucking call it X) dedicated to Canimals and I was probably the biggest Canimals fan on there. Crazy seeing it blow up now years after I helped revive the fandom (not trying to be cocky here, I just literally had a Twitter account dedicated to Canimals facts) and have also found a lot of Canimals lost media but I guess it was inevitable

I love this show. This show was so fun and I still adore it.

[@Jaimotorola3000]

I do recall watching this as a kid. This may not help, but if there was a chance to communicate with the channel that transmitted the show way back in Spain, i think the channel was "Canal 1". I believe it was that one. If not, it's "rtve". Dont think theres a way for them to rewind what they transmitted i think in 2016, but who knows. I may be a tad insane.

[@acolmeiafelizDT]

I DO, REMEMBER THESE SMOL CANS

You: "Canimals. A show you probably have never heard of." Me (who watched the show as a little girl): you have no idea...

[@nabbitgohome9672]

3:20 (Sorry for this comment being unrelated to this video) Ahhh the memories of Lego Sponebob being washed away by a tsunami and then flood ironically unless it’s goo from goo lagoon in this case) but mostly Lego and plastic toys in general getting washed away by a tsunami and or flood. For some reason I was very interested in natural disasters like Torandos and Whirpools and Tsunamis and Floods and Earthquakes (but mostly the 1st was Torandos and tsunamis/flooding was 2nd and other natural disasters 3rd, etc) I’ve watch many videos about them (and while I did learn some things about them I mostly watched videos with irl (things that happened and toys being washed away and 2nd and 3rd animations featuring them)

[@finchii]

I am so glad someone else knew what the video was LOL but I am in the exact same boat as you! Ever since I was young I loved things like storms and such.

[@DJLLReacts]

My brother is Blu Ball animations! I was the one who introduced this show to him!

[@Glaggle_Enthusiast]

Canimals was my childhood. 6:39 Why'd you gotta do the goat like that 😭😭

[@epikdummy6702]

I remember watching this show for hours when I was super super young

[@Cosofilms]

I remember seeing this faintly back when I was around 8 Years old, and around that time my Parents got us Netflix to watch Movies (This was before Netflix became the sloppy, and greedy it is currently today.) So with an Internet connection, and my parents would pay the bill we watched countless of Shows with the likes of Charlie and Lola, The Magical School Bus, and Canimals which is what we're talking about today. And from what I remember from my 8-Year old life, It was a pretty neat show that didn't got most attention. And me being one of them I watched the series on my own time on my Bed. It would be around about after I got home from school that I would lay down, and watch Canimals 24/7 and I would bring my Arnott's Pizza Shape Biscuits to eat along side Mountain Dew, and hoping that Mom and Dad would leave the house for an entire day. Because I wanted some piece and quiet for a while. But it worked, and I sat down with my Mountain Dew bottle, Shapes Pizza Biscuits in hand, and opened the box up... And picked three Hexagon-shaped Biscuits flavored in the nice Pizza flavor Whilst in my mind an Italian accent man speaks in a deep Italian movie- like-a this. This resulted me eating nearly the whole box, and Drinking the Mountain Dew I had in hand. And I was enjoying it whilst binging my favorite show at the time. That's all I can remember of what happened, I'm happy that people like you are Talking about it in the first place! and I'm really happy for it since I watched this show back in 2016. During the same year when I was a Five Nights at Freddy's Fan, Getting Into Tattletale and Slowly becoming Addicted to Hello Neighbor around then, But that'll have to be another story for another day. Now I should shut up now, and watch the fucking review, since I should be spending time watching this compared to just making this comment... Have a nice day! and I'll talk you later on! -CosoDevFilms 2024 / 2025

[@Idontwantahandle11]

I honestly thought this show was a fever dream-

[@thewildstarjumper]

this was my forever childhood

[@flaamingeaux]

I definitely have very obscure memories of Canimals! However, I remember them either having figures, or maybe a mobile app? Memories are fuzzy, so it's hard to say.... Anyways the one with heterochromia was always my favorite, Oz Edit: I just got to the point of the video about lost media.... so maybe I wasn't as crazy as I thought lmao. Edit 2: BOOMERANG OMG that's likely where I saw first this show. I used to visit grandparents and they'd get me up early mornings, only to then turn on boomerang and then leave the room for me watch the cartoons.... That might have been where I first saw this. Also the confirmation that there WAS in fact a mobile app???!!! I distinctly remember the popping sound that the canimals had when popping out of that app oh my god.

19:15 I've NEVER seen anything about the series airing on Boomerang I think unless my memory is faulty, but I did find an airing once of the series on Nickelodeon. I believe it was a Portugese airing and it was of the episode "Super Can", it was called Canimals 01 or something. It also aired on Disney Channel/Disney XD in South Korea and Vietnam
