This test Footage was recently released by David Siller a lead designer and senior producer at Universal Interactive Studio, who worked on Crash Bandicoot.

https://youtu.be/6d5651XSuh0

Some comments from him regarding the dead series as well as other possible tie-ins

"The discussion at Universal at that time was if the game was successful (before Sony came a knockin') then this animation was a somewhat prototype to further flesh out ideas for a possible cartoon series and inclusion into the game. This animation was influenced by Animaniacs and even a few others popular at that time. A Crash Bandicoot attraction was also discussed as our offices were right next door to where Universal Theme parks maintained a creative office to plan new park attractions"

“It was based on ideas for where we were going with this IP at that time,” Siller said. “It was probably too ambitious in nature and was also trying to be humorous. It was never used or even embedded in the game as a hidden ‘easter egg’ treat.”

You can tell that the series was heavily influenced by "Animaniacs" and "Pinky and the Brain" or at least the cruddy theme song was lol.

The whole thing was scrapped though when Naughty Dog came to a co-publishing agreement with Sony, and the rest was history.

So, WHAT DO YOU THINK?? Would you have watched this show? Comment Below

I have to admit, that got really dark, really fast.

"Play our game and tell your friends so we'll make lots of loot!", was probably the greatest line. With cynicism like that, I'd be sure to watch some episodes.

Eniitan : I probably would have watched the show, although hopefully if they show was made they would come up with a different theme song.

Since the series never came to be, and they aren't making any new Crash games these days, I kinda doubt that we will see a crash cartoon anytime soon.

Jordanv78 : If you look at it, back in the late 90's, both Crash and Spyro were both at their prime, selling their famous 3 first games and been on the top list for PlayStation games, it was a point that we was surprised that no cartoons were thought of to feature both characters.

Ok, fast forward 15 years, both characters separated and done their own way, Spyro, being owned by Activision, there is rumors (if not already confirmed) that a cartoon show related to the Skylander series could be planned out in the future. As for Crash, we have not seen any news about Crash since the last game back in 2008.

So, Crash's fate could be either good or bad, so far, it could be bad, unless Sony can revive him again, like to see him get a cartoon show as well (either in the same show with Spyro or a completely separate show, we will never know)

IgorBird122 : Oh I understand. Crash was hugely popular from the late 90's to early 2000's and kinda just fell off the earth. Not sure why Sony abandoned that IP. Hopefully at some point Sony and Naughty Dog revive it.

Until the time (if it ever happens) that Crash video game series is revived, I doubt we will ever see a cartoon starring him.

Davideo7 : Did you see this clip?

Man I can tell you right now that I would have loved this show. xD And that line from the theme that Boxia quoted was hilarious. Otherwise the theme was more "meh" than anything.

I've been hoping Crash would come back for a while now. I haven't gotten to play any Crash games yet, but I love the concept and would buy a new Crash game the day it released honestly. Platformers are making a comeback, so who knows? Maybe we'll see another Crash. I mean with the route Sony is taking by revitalizing classic PSX games and such, a new Crash would be the perfect addition. Any idea if Cerny has any say in this?

If you remember Mario had a series back in the day. But crash would have been cool. He's a silly hero with some crazy moves. He would have been a great cartoon.

rebelyell : Of course I remember. Actually there were a several different cartoons with Mario in them. I personally preferred the Super Mario Super Show. Gotta love that theme song!

A crash show would have been cool. I just thought that this particular test footage could have been better. CERTAINLY the theme song lol.

Depending on the quality of the show, I'm sure I would have watched it. I loved the Crash Bandicoot series of games.

I really is too bad that this never came to be. I would have certainly been interested to see how a Crash show would turn out.

Zlinqx : I thought maybe you would be interested in this as well.

No, I had no idea. I actually might have watched it if it would've existed because back then, I was into Crash, though now Mario's the better mascot since Crash hasn't had any games in years. It's sad to see how far he's fallen. Heck, Sonic's still doing way better than Crash, and his latest games were disasters, and they're continuing that awful Sonic Boom series... Still better than getting no attention at all like Crash though.

I remember seeing this thread like right after you made it and intending on replying but didn't must've forgot about it :V

Anyways while I'm not the most well versed in the Crash Bandicoot games since I've never owned a ps1 and only played the original as well as the crash tag team racing ps2 spin off, the fact that it's influenced by show like Pinky and the Brain means I might've enjoyed it because that is one of my favorite animated shows. And I really like that intro XD

So It's too bad it never had the chance to become fully realized, it seems like it could've become a classic cartoon had it done so.

gamerforlifeforever2 : I figure that Mario always has been better overall, but Crash was indeed popular there for awhile, which is why it's so puzzling that Sony and Naughtydog just sort of abandoned it the franchise even though it was indeed popular. I figure that if they came out with a new crash game, it would be well received if it was done right.

Jordanv78 : Wow! I would have totally watched this show! It looked hilarious, in my opinion.

I noticed that Tiny was there. Was this show created before the game came out? And if so, does that mean Tiny had been developed already at the first game's release, but he didn't make an appearance until Crash 2, right?

Are you serious?!

That's really cool!

That show might be even more popular than any others If it did get released.

I wonder what it would be like...

MattyIce : Yeah this test footage was made before the games were released at least according to the guy who released it. This was before Naughty Dog came to a joint agreement with Sony on Publishing.

Dorian520 : Probably never. This is old footage from the 90's of a cartoon that never made it on the air. Considering they are no longer making crash games at this point, it's hard to see this becoming a reality anytime soon.

Oh my gosh. . . . I would watch this, even if I wasn't born yet. I would still watch it. Crash Bandicoot played a big part of my childhood. And if it was based on the show "Animaniacs" then that makes me want to watch it even more! The part with "Play our game and tell your friends, so we'll make lots of loot!" was hilarious. Sad that there hasn't been a Crash game in a long time, so this probably won't happen. Welp, time to cry in a puddle of tears. I'll see myself out.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
