I don't keep up with lost media stuff like I used to, but this seemed interesting. I was looking through my old posts and I actually made a thread about this when I was like 12. I only ever saw clips of it, but that 2000s vibe has stuck with me for a long time. I present to you, Iz and the Zizzles.
I watched a video discussing this a while back (my boy Pan-Pizza was in it), but it was the DIC Geeks podcast that really piqued my interest regarding the second episode. Now I love me some bad movies, and I love me some bad cartoons. Put them together, make it fun to watch in a group context, and it's sheer bliss. Iz and the Zizzles is a good representation of that. I still haven't properly watched it yet (because I'm an adult and I have things to do), but if you look it up or pick up the DVD, you'll find that it acts as a 45-minute pilot episode. A second of these was produced, but for whatever reason, it was left off the DVD. Other countries saw a version that edited them together, but the English-speaking world never got it (though according to the podcast, it was taken off Netflix around 2014?).
While looking for a copy of this online (no way I'm paying for the DVD), I managed to find the Spanish and Russian dubs of this edit. The Spanish dub was on the Internet Archive, but the Russian dub was somewhere else, so I've uploaded it. I guess I'll keep both if a copyright strike takes them down, but if they don't care enough to take the Romanian dub off of YouTube, I think it'll be fine. What really struck me as odd was the fact that the LMW doesn't even have a page for it. Fair, I guess, because no one remembers this. But as a fan of so-bad-it's-good media and the oddly nostalgic 2000s feeling it gives off, I'd love to see the English audio resurface someday. I know an English sub exists, but having the original audio just makes it easier to show to people, and I know many would enjoy these vibes. For now, we have this to tide us over.
