Lost (and found) Colin Slater & Wolf Tracer media

-- Not Quite Right is a fast, funny, clever, irreverent and sometimes crude animated sketch comedy series. Swinging wildly between the low-brow and the even lower-brow, NQR is inhabited by unique character in one-shot and recurring segments. Viewers who stop by for an episode will return again and again for a comedy experience found nowhere else on television.
---- Project was done by J.R. Horsting's (Rapsittie Street Kids) Crappco. In the description it's also written that "for the record [...] NOT QUITE RIGHT was not created by Wolf Tracer Studios". So maybe Wolf Tracer just marketed the pilot as a favor to Horsting?


-- In Hollywood of the 1940s, glamour is valued above all else. To keep your career, you must also keep your youth and vitality. And one star has found a way to do exactly that. Her beauty has enchanted a brilliant artist and alchemist. He quite literally immortalizes her in a portrait. When the star's vindictive nature begins to affect and end the lives of those around her, the portrait reflects the evil of her soul while she herself remains forever young. But there are no free tickets to eternity. A price must be paid for tampering with the power of life and death. Art Of Darkness is a stylistic retelling of a classic tale.


-- To millions of fans the world over. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce remain the quintessential Sherlock holmes and Dr. John Watson. Now these great stars reunite in a new animated series based upon the immortal series.

-- MECHA5.2, a planet unlike any other, spins in a nearby galaxy. The credo on this highly advanced, robotic world is UPGRADE TO THE NEW, DISPOSE OF THE OLD. Everything here is mechanical, even the rivers, insects and plants. And once anything malfunctions, it's jettisoned into space. It's the ultimate disposable society.

The tyrannical leader of Mecha5.2, the towering LORD FURNACE DOOM, literally rules with a iron fist, assisted by his powerful henchbots, CRASH and GLITCH. The population has long ago synchronized with the wasteful ways of Doom...all except for the rebellious JUNKBOTS...DOCBOT, TOOLBOT, BOTNEY and their intelligent, sentient ship, GUARDIAN,. The Junkbots engage in the most unthinkable of treasons. They recycle, they reuse, they renew. Small, courageous free thinkers, the Junkbots have become a thorn in Lord Doom's metallic side. Pursued by Crash and Glitch, the Junkbots flee into space toward the third of nine planets orbiting a medium-sized yellow star called the Sun.

It is on this strange world that the Junkbots manage to set down, shaken, but not severely damaged. However, before they can fully assess their situation, Guardian is lifted off of the ground by a giant creature. It holds the ship up to its kindly, weathered eyes. Compared to the beings on this world, the Junkbots are tiny. The creature carries Guardian back to its lair, a shack in a junkyard.

The junkman sets the small metal ship down on an old wooden table. "Well, well. What sort of bric-a-brac have we got ourselves here?" Instantaneously, Guardian's sophisticated computers translate the strange language. Guardian answers, "Bric-a-brac? Who are you calling bric-a-brac?" Astonished, the junkman replies, "Please excuse me, my metallic friend. I'm Manny. Manny Withers. What may I call you?" "I'm called Guardian." "Guardian? And who do you guard?"

A hatch opens and the other Junkbots emerge. Docbot looks up at Manny. "He guards us. I'm Docbot. This is Toolbot and Botney. Now I have a question. Where are we?" "Why, you're in my home, here in my junkyard. If you're looking for a part, chances are I've got it. Somewhere."

Toolbot says, "On our world, junkyards were outlawed centuries ago." Manny replies, "Is that so? What do you do for spare parts? How do you fix things?" Botney answer, "On Mecha5.2, if something breaks, you get a new one." Toolbot adds, "We're the only ones who even know how to fix things anymore." Manny nods. "Oh, now I'm beginning to see. You're pioneers, aren't ya? Space pilgrims. Looking for freedom. A new place to call home." Docbot replies, "Well, we're not precisely pioneers. We're more like..." Manny finishes Docbot's thought, "Outcasts. Runaways. You're fugitives."

There's a knock at the door and Manny covers the Junkbots with a dirty rag. "Be quiet. I'll see who it is." At the door are two men dressed in black, wearing dark glasses. They tell the junkman that an object from space was tracked to this area and has been removed from the crash site with footprints leading in the direction of the shack. Toolbot quietly says, "I knew it. We can't trust these creatures." The agents tell Manny there's a substantial reward for any signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Toolbot whispers, "He's going to turn us in." But Manny evades the questions, saying, "I'll let you fellas know if I see anything intelligent." He closes the door. "You'd think Intelligence would have gotten guys more intelligent."

Toolbot repairs Guardian, Botney studies the native plant life, Docbot analyzes the rock and soil content. They help Manny around the junkyard and Manny tries to make them comfortable. They're enjoying their time on Earth. Then, just when all is calm, Docbot's prediction comes true. Crash and Glitch arrive on Earth. With inventive thinking and innovation, the Junkbots send their attackers packing and narrowly avoid further conflicts with Earth's intelligence agents.

Back on Mecha 5.2, Lord Furnace Doom fumes, "If you want a rebellion crushed right, you must crush it yourself!" He travels to Earth and confronts the Junkbots. Though enormous on Mecha5.2, Doom stands barely three feet tall on Earth. He inflicts damage on Botney, sending the normally mild mannered Guardian into battle mode. Manny comes to their aid and is attacked by Doom. The Junkbots, using Manny's beat up Junkbot-modified '57 Chevy defeat Doom and sends him back to Mecha5.2.

The Junkbots must now always be prepared to resist Doom's next assault against them and against this living, breathing planet. You'll see astounding futuristic inventions and spaceships in gigantic battles (on a miniature, Junkbot-sized scale). And there's the ever-present threat of capture by the special agents of Earth.

Join the resourceful Junkbots, along with Manny and other friends as they battle for their freedom and to save their new home, and their home world, from environmental ruin.
---- J.R. Horsting email on description: "it was a presentation for Wolftracer's I produced & animated to move away from 3D choreographer animation.

We actually got lots of interest from distribution, yet we couldn't fund it quickly enough, we got close.



Colin was going through a lot at the time.

Also, 3D at the time was still expensive with crappy technology & not enough talent available for a small budget. ($1.4M)



We could do it now, & we still might.

Me & Dave Edison did most of the voices, with some other excellent employees."
