Lost Media for Christmas

Many of our favorite holiday specials have missing content from them that we've never seen! Discover some lost media to get you into the spirit of the season.

Just for reference, Henry Selick directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Burton did the story and was a producer

[@therealbigwall]

Came here to make sure someone said this.

[@JediTalk]

Same lol

[@therealbigwall]

Wild to see he corrected it moments later. Lol

I'm suprised that Pixar hasn't decided to make A Tin Toy Christmas after all this time, I mean I know a lot of aspects were used in the Toy Story movies but considering how much technology as progressed and how many times they revisit their stories, it makes me wonder why they couldn't do the same with Tin Toy

[@lurji]

it's an original story and disney/pixar are no longer too fond of originality anymore

[@connorbeith3232]

They did give Tin Toy a cameo in Toy Story 4, meaning they created a new model for him, so I guess they hypothetically could just reuse that model for it. Though part of me doesn't want it to be made after all this time because it just wouldn't feel the same with current animation as it would have with early CG.

[@aortaplatinum]

Because A Tin Toy Christmas wouldn't make as many billions of dollars in China as Toy Story 7: The Quest for Forky's Fleshlight [featuring Chris Pratt as Forky's Fleshlight]

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

In all seriousness, the idea probably wasn't as sexy, even to Lasseter and co. after Toy Story and their later features. Especially since Toy Story fully explores toys in the ways that Tin Toy was supposed to.

[@goanimatenetwork3550]

[@CaptainJZH]

Another note about A Tin Toy Christmas, the way they phrase it in The Pixar Story documentary, when they were asked by Disney to produce a feature, they first didn't think they would be up to it because they thought they needed to get experience with making a 30-minute special before committing to a feature Someone at Disney then allegedly told them "if you think you can do 30 minutes, then you can do 90 minutes"

[@briboif3511]

On a similar note, did you also hear about the missing deleted scene from A Christmas Story? It was a second fantasy sequence of Ralphie imagining himself after he gets his BB gun. As he imagines he's fighting along side Flash Gordon, the set design, the costumes, and the props for the lost scene in general all look incredible. Defiantly at least worth a read on the LMW.

[@DarcyWalker]

Defiantly

[@edmccray212]

The It's a Wonderful Life claims are incorrect. Around 1990 there was an It's a Wonderful Life Book by one of Capra's biographers and here's the real story. The Lord's Prayer scene wasn't George, it was Uncle Billy. It's cited in the book and script pages are included. It was filmed and if you watch the finale you can see the jump in cuts. It went right before Mary says "Mr Martini, how about some wine?" The Potter stuff is more complex. There was no ending where he died counting the money. That's an urban legend. In the script he was supposed to pass by George's house and see what was going on and sit on the front step sulking knowing he'd been beaten. In the final version he left the money on the doorstep. These were written before Lionel Barrymore was cast and Potter wasn't written to be in a wheelchair. Once Potter was in a wheelchair this ending became cumbersome because you'd have to have his good ferry him in and out of the car and in the chair. It couldn't be like the script where Potter shows remorse. Capra got more letters on Potter getting away with theft than any other detail in any film. Another deleted sequence in the book is the Heaven sequence. It was written to be a fully realized sequence where we saw Heaven. The identity of the angels were Benjamin Franklin and the writer Joseph Kearns. A lot more detail on Clarence being the screw up of Heaven was also included as well as funny lines like "If this works out, I'll believe in fairies from now on..." It wasn't shot because Capra thought it was too hokey. The opening sequence of Bedford Falls was found in the editing room. If you look at some of the shots you can see George run into the shots just before it cuts away. That's because without some sort of prologue on Heaven the audience was confused. A found lost media item concerning this film is the original score. Parts of it weren't used and the composer never forgave Capra. There's been 2 CD releases of that score and you can find them on youtube.

This is really great! I love the additional research you did for Charlie Brown and It's A Wonderful Life, making connections the Lost Media Wiki hadn't. It's awesome to see a lost media video that doesn't just regurgitate info readily available on the LMW in a video format, but actually does some investigation. That said, I would LOVE to see the Mr Potter death scene one day, though the closest we can get right now is SNL's "lost ending" where everyone in town goes to beat the shit out of Potter in his office lol

[@coyoteartist]

I really want to see a Tin Toy Christmas. Maybe if they were still their own company, they could have come back to it. Somehow I don't see Disney caring much for it. It would be to one off.

HOLY CRAP. I had no idea It's a Wonderful Life had lost media (assuming they are real). As a Christian, I would have liked to see the George Bailey doing The LORD's Prayer scene. But the other one also seems interesting. I hope they are found one day.

[@michaelbullen3104]

HIGHLY personal case of lost media of my own- There were these DVDs that I believe only went into circulation in Canada. (I’m in NL myself) I had about 2 or 3 of these… I remember I got them as Christmas gifts. They were called “Children’s Theatre”. There’s very little info online about them aside from the scattered box art. These came in volume sets. 1, 2, etc. I’m not sure just how many were made but all the box arts are some cheap, tacky and CREEPY as hell looking clip art, and the one thing that absolutely stuck out to me as a kid on every one of them is the ugly jester on the top. They all featured (from what I remember) creepy, experimental shorts that ranged anywhere from the mid 60’s to early 80’s, similar to the vein of Sesame Street. I don’t remember much of what happened in them but a little black boy skipping around while some really trippy stuff was going on, I believe there were video filters over him and it looked very disturbing, and then I remember there was this one animation… I don’t even remember what it was but it truly disturbed me in a way I can’t even describe, I remember the distinct feeling it left me with, almost sickening. It was a trippy Sesame Street-esque animation that I cannot even remember the details about… But all I know is that it scared the shit out of me so hard I never ever touched the DVD again and it just got scratched up and thrown out eventually over the years. I had kind of just brushed it off as something trippy I saw as a kid and nothing more until when I was working at my local goodwill centre recently and I saw like 2 more of them. I hesitated to get them because I didn’t want my co-workers thinking I was nuts… But they were gone the next day. I was kinda pissed… These DVDs are ALL lost media and as far as I’m concerned I’m the only one who actively wants to find them. Their footage is nowhere to be found online, I’ve checked absolutely everywhere. Only some box arts, not sure if all of them are online. I am so mad that I had the chance recently to save 2 of them but didn’t. From what I can tell these DVDs are very very rare… If anyone has them at all… PLEASE upload them because I’m absolutely dying to see what terrified me as a child. All I know is that it was contained somewhere within the first 5 volumes. Merry Christmas LSSQ, and everyone!

Maybe i’m overthinking it but The Simpsons made a joke about a “It’s A Wonderful Life” alternate ending back in 1999 in the episode “The Old Man and the C Student”. Perhaps the idea of an alternate version has been speculated for the past 25 years with nothing surfacing, or they just wanted to do a site gag about it just because.

Nightmare Before Christmas was actually directed by Henry Selick. He also directed Coraline. Tim Burton is only in the name because he created the world and the characters.

[@_.Michael.Cordova._]

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie ever. I love Santa and his voice, I also love Vincent Price but I personally can't imagine his voice coming from Santa. I think his voice was just a little too interesting and unique, like a Halloween Town monster.

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

Yea, when I think of Vincent, I think of his Ratigan role in The Great Mouse Detective, whimsical but diabolical and loving every minute of it. Not how I would Invision Santa

[@HannahandCailinLoesch]

A bit of “lost” Christmas media we learned about last year: did you know that the original “Triple Dog Dare” scene in A Christmas Story had to be re-filmed days after the fact due to a technical error? Who knows how the scene would have been different if it didn’t have to be reshot!

You should’ve talked about the original print of A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was found and it would be nice if you talk about it.

[@mathieuleader8601]

the alternate ending of Its A Wonderful Life makes me think of this gag from the Simpsons after a bit of metal detectoring Bart & Lisa finds a film reel of the alternate ending of It's A Wonderful Life and a fellow resident of their Grampa's care home Old Jewish Man tells the kids about his career as a Hollywood Executive before retiring saying that Capra's It's A Wonderful Life had an alternate ending where George Bailey goes on a killing spree and tells them to rebury the reel as Old Jewish Man is ashamed of it.

[@catysnow]

I'm watching this as my Christmas present

[@DaggerDuck]

Weird, I faintly remember that in an early copy of the dvd- like one of the first ones to come out- that in the commentary- tat either tim burton or henry stelic- or even danny elfman was with him spoke up about how they'd casted vincent price- and that he'd voiced about 80% of the lines but was so devastated and was starting to get sick as well and his voice was so soft and whispery that it didn't take.

[@Looselimbsmcgee]

They stated the initial voice actor for Santa in nightmare before Christmas was despondent in his lines because he was grieving his late wife....with that information it would be crude to release those voices lines. We'd get the voice of a man grieving.

The idea that there may have been a laugh track cut of A Charlie Brown Christmas really does sell how weak the jokes in that show were executed. I mean, the "Am I right? I said, Am I right?" joke was done better in The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show, where the punchline was the kids watching TV. Don't get me started on the bizarre nature of the Jingle Bells gag.

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

Aw come one, that Jingle Bells bit with Schroder and Lucy is LEGENDARY. Its one of my families favorite bits.

I dunno if this counts as lost media, but during a lost media fever I had (I wanted to find lost media for ANYTHING I was into), I found an article on the Lost Media Wiki about SiIvaGunner, a famous bait and switch channel that uploads, “High quality rips” of Video game music.

Them wanting to insert a laugh track into a charlie brown christmas is the most prime example of dumb company executive decisions. Also more on it's a wonderful life becoming a "classic" is because of how poorly it did at release. That caused it to be a dirt cheap nothing movie for tv stations to spam replay around this time and since it was on so much people begin to just naturally associate it with the season.

[@meowmeowmeowmeowcatoncomputer]

Related, but sorta off topic: I wonder how much is lost due to there being no common way to record the TV or any real home media back before the mid 70s. My mom said as a kid in the 60s and early 70s, she loved the Rankin Bass (I will be showing her your video on the models when I go home! :-) ) and Peanuts specials but her family didn't own any way to record them on TV or play home media so she had to wait until they were played on TV to see them again. I know there were ways to record stuff and a type of reels were released for certain films, tv shows, etc. for people to buy but the machines used to operate them were big, bulky, and expensive so it was only really for collectors. Also I suppose you can record the actual Television Set and then have a video that way, which I know some pieces of lost media were found like that, but there's no sound. It's very interesting to me how far technology has come since she was a kid -- and how she witnessed it all within a lifetime. A lot of people don't know this but the microwave wasn't common in households until around the mid 70s because before then it was seen as a luxury and was very expensive. She recalls going to a friend's house and her friend had a microwave. Her friend showed her how it worked by heating up leftovers and she was so amazed and impressed.

[@Attmay]

There are whole years of soap operas that are missing because they were not kinescoped and because the tapes were erased to save money on storage because the producers did not think of distributing the shows overseas until it was too late. *As the World Turns* and *Guiding Light,* two of the longest-running American daytime dramas, have virtually no episodes left from the early to mid 1970s, and the only episodes from the 1950s and 1960s still exist still exist because they were kinescoped.

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

Kind of surprised you didn't mention the June Foray version of Frosty The Snowman. What I mean is that the original airing of the special had Karen and the school children voiced by veteran voice actress June Foray, but later airings gave Karen and the kids different voice actors (June also voiced the teacher which is still there)

[@asterixis.lane03]

One thing to note is The Wiggles did film a video for Yule Be Wiggling that released in 2001. The Wiggles didn't to a tour instead of a VHS, they did both just like most of their albums. Maybe what your sources meant to say is they did a tour before filming a VHS? The tour footage is lost so you did get that correct. Interestingly enough I remember seeing clips of this tour circulating on KZbin when I was a kid since I do recall Henry the Octopus with the Santa hat and also the Yule Be Wiggling stage props.

[@mightyfilm]

Okay. Nightmare Before Christmas DID have merchandise when the movie first premiered. The movie only did so/so, and the merchandise went quickly on clearance or was generally odd to find. Not hard, but somethings were quite common, some things weren't. Now, in the very late 90's or early 00's, the movie started hitting the cult movie circuit and the value of the 90's toys skyrocketed on the second hand market to the point where a poorly distributed line of large bendable carded figures were valued at hundreds of dollars mint. Eventually the Goths got it, Disney realized it was a Hot Topic gold mine and slowly released those collectible figures and very goth dorky things. Now it's mainstream and the merch is everywhere, but there was a time in-between its release and to early 00's where stuff just didn't exist.
