The Spain Mutiny (Cartoon from failed Three Stooges pilot)

Any recollection on where you remember hearing this at? Cause if the Stoogeum has a print there’s a chance that it can potentially be released publicly.

Man this really opens up entirely new cans of worms for me and gives a lot more info than I would’ve even thought possible. And here I was thinking The Three Stooges didn’t have much going as far as lost media. Definitely a whole lot of stuff to look into.

Never seen that process in action. Thanks for posting that!

In Orbit does have the pilot as the main storyline of the film, the majority of the film tells the story of them trying to save the show but then it progresses to them saving the world
It's the laziest of the Three Stooges films, doesn't help matters that this was made to appease a bunch of karens (the PTA) who complained that the comedy in "Have Rocket, Will Travel" might be imitatable - never mind the fact that the violence in question is staged to begin with

No longer lost!

The entire pilot film was released on the Sony 100 Year Anniversary Stooges Bluray set, albeit with the very last title screen blacked out, shortly after Curly G. premiered the cartoon portion on his own YouTube channel.

Using the two elements I was able to patch together the complete end credits and upload the film to archive. archive.org/details/three-stooges-the.-title-416

I think it was unfairly panned in the published Three Stooges Scrapbook review. The exaggerated drawings, expectedly limited animation and voice acting from The Stooges captured the essence of what they were back in the Columbia shorts days pretty well. The addition of Mel Blanc to the voice cast certainly elevated the production, no doubt.
Sad thing is the Scrapbook format would have been too expensive to produce if each episode were to replicate the pilot with fully dressed sets, location shooting in 35mm and guest actors for both the live action and animated spots. We know Mel didn't work cheap! And, for the later series I doubt they could have afforded Paul Frees for more than the pilot episode.

The Cambria cartoons weren't as entirely awful as their reputation. The wraparounds did get repetitive and a few animated segments suffered from the rushed production, resulting in extremely weak writing, planning and some cartoons just didn't make sense-- like the one with the lion hiding in the cabin, getting shot at and having his tail slammed in a closet door and laughing about it. 

Weak writing and rushed production plus cost-cutting were the greatest detriment to the Cambrias. Even The Stooges sometimes voiced their own characters like they were seeing the scripts for the first time-- quite likely! We did get to hear Moe play Tim Bear a couple of times, though, with the audio slowed down to lower his pitch.

Other episodes like Super Everybody were quite cleverly written bits of comic satire and drifting into self-aware parody.
Hal Smith was a driving force behind those animated bits and having Harold Brauer (once) and Emil Sitka in various roles for the live action bits was a huge plus.

One big downside to this series, aside from the severely limited budget evident in the live action, 16mm sketches, was the overuse of the gravelly-voice for characters that all sounded like Get Outta Town Before Sundown Brown, all presumably attributed to Johnny Coons (though samples of his Uncle Johnny show show no trace of this type of voice.. at least the ones I've seen). Hal Smith, with his slew of characterizations, accents and enthusiasm was the real driving force for the animated portions for the Cambria series.

Somewhere in my stacks 'o discs I have some of the background music used in the Cambrias (and, Mr. Magoo and others). Always enjoyed those cues, especially the one where The Stooges were artists trashing each others' canvasses in the live action bit.
