What is your favorite lost media case?

See, I don't think she thought it looked funny. You gotta think about when it came out, TV CGI shows were pretty rare in the early 2000s. Sure, you had Reboot, Beast Wars, and eventually Jimmy Neutron, but those shows had budgets and teams behind them. Even VeggieTales was an elaborate project, I recommend watching Saberspark's video on it just to see how much work goes into it. But Ella Flowers and her daughter were the ones making PMC, that's a pretty big feat. Every time I talk about early CGI, I always bring up M3D because again it's a showcase of early CGI with a small team and budget. Watch Tommy and the Computoys and tell me it's not super weird just in nature.

I think Ella Flowers was just stoked to make a CGI cartoon for her religious channel. Especially during a time VeggieTales was taking off in the home video market.

Unless you were referring to the art film/student film theory, which I don't think those are ever intentionally bad either. Usually it's all about whatever thesis it's trying to convey through a visual medium, which can be lost simply due to budget or sometimes the filmmaker in question being a bit....pretentious. I know because I made a super creepy film that was meant to be something else but only came across as uncomfortable and weird, and it was 100% both those things🤣

Yeah it's interesting just how many student films can be super weird or uncomfortable, I think it's because you kinda have the freedom to experiment in a school setting, also there tends to be a ton of random stipulations in assignments (once had to combine stop motion with live action, or was also once told that I HAD to use camera audio at some point in the project), which pushes you to be weirdly creative. But I think because a lot of film courses will push for a fine arts angle, you're kinda pushed to think outside the box. Not to mention horror is the best route to go if you have no budget, bad lighting, shaky camera, and strange editing are suddenly part of the experience.

Oh yeah I definitely got creepypasta vibes

No idea if you saw but the guy who made the original 4chan post came out and confirmed it's fake.
