I've known about the lost media wiki for a while know and the efforts you guys put in towards finding lost media, well earlier today I learned of the partially lost Jimmy Quasar short which was the original Jimmy Neutron pilot. After looking at the wiki page the short was shown at the SIGGRAPH '95 convention and allegedly all of the content shown on there is on a sparsely distributed CD-ROM. As a massive Jimmy Neutron fan myself I immediately searched up "SIGGRAPH '95 CD-ROM" in google, obviously I wasn't expecting to find a notoriously rare CD-ROM by looking on Google but I found something that could potentially lead to us finally gaining access to the short. I managed to find these two links from an archive database that apparently shows that the SIGGRAPH '95 Multimedia CD-ROM and the SIGGRAPH '95 Computer Graphics proceedings CD-ROM are currently archived at the V&A Archive of Art and Design in the UK. I've already sent V&A a formal email requesting if we could possibly access the dumped contents of the CD-ROMS, no reply as of yet but fingers crossed! I'll keep this thread updated as needed and hopefully we can find this elusive short. Btw if anyone else knows anything about the short I would love to hear it.
I briefly mentioned this on the LMW Discord, but never really brought it up- I contacted Keith Alcorn, who worked with the creator John Davis on Jimmy Neutron, and a few weeks ago he informed me that he believes he has a copy saved on the server at wherever DNA Production's stuff is.
Essentially that's another pretty huge lead, and I could easily contact him asking for an update if too much time passes with no short. So if the V&A Archive doesn't reply or doesn't want to upload the Johnny Quasar short then we should end up with it in some way.
Yeah I meant like wherever their archives are, I forget what he said and I really don't expect him to get it soon; I think he said whenever he was going to visit it again.
Still though I'd say this search is pretty secure at this point, which is really good.
It wouldn't be on the SIGGRAPH 95 CD-ROM because it premiered in 1994. Johnny Quasar was also shown at SiGGKIDS after 1994. They stopped showing it after 1997. Also, if you check the SIGGRAPH 95 webpage and check the stuff that will be shown their, Johnny Quasar is not listed.

Umm...guys. Not sure if these have been found, but I went to the 4th or 5th page of Google and found some concept art. The 2 screenshots are right here:
I will quickly delete the picture if it is wrong.
EDIT: I just sent the link so you guys can SEE it.
EDIT 2: Sorry, I got 2 of the same screenshot. The other one just has some weird guy with Carl...? and Sheen in a space helmet thing.
I don't blame you for helping out, I personally very much appreciate it. I think it's time to lock this one and move it to found, it got found and we don't want it to get hostile in here
Petition to rename the Lost Media Wiki into the random shows I remember from Treehouse TV forum
For those who had missed the news (not helped that nobody bothered to update this thread), both of the full versions of the 1995 and 1997 demos have been posted to YouTube by Johnny Quasar's voice actor, Hilal H., on August 14th, 2017 and can be viewed below.

Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.
