1:33 got toys for the whole family check out big bad toy store at big bad toy store.com and now back to the Vault a tantalizing treat on March 7th 1992 an anime series aired in Japan that would forever alter the landscape of Animation forever that series was pretty Soldier Sailor Moon quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon in Japan it was only inevitable that the series popularity would spread overseas particularly in the United States however before Sailor Moon was localized for North American audiences attempts were made to americanize the series this led to the creation of what would be colloquially dubbed by fans as Saban
2:18 Moon a liveaction and animated hybrid crafted together by Rocky solotov of tun makers and Renaissance Atlantic the show had been conceptualized in part as a response to the Power Rangers a liveaction children's show stitched together from previous existing Japanese media that had become largely successful in the North American Market despite their efforts to put this concept into Forward Motion the pilot was ultimately rejected with just a handful of animated cells and a grainy recording of the Pilot's music video circulating online since 1995 sabon Moon became a relatively sought-after and well-known piece of lost media several attempts since then had been made to uncover the pilot in its entirety until its Discovery in August of 2022 by Yours
3:05 Truly when I had uncovered the Lost pilot from the Library of Congress archives in the second half of my two-part documentary titled the Western World of Sailor Moon before this however a previous attempt to unearth the pilot had been made that led to its own groundbreaking and serendipitous Discovery flashback to June 19th of 2018 kataku journalist Cecilia Denasia had posted an article chronicling her own extensive search of the Lost pilot with her team though she didn't manage to get her hands on the saon moon pilot what she managed to retrieve had been equally as valuable during her sitdown with Renaissance Atlantic CEO Frank Ward to the surprise of many tucked away in his home was a little VHS tape labeled team
3:51 Angel after the deak dub of Sailor Moon had briefly been canceled in the United States it had been revealed that a second attempt was made by by Renaissance Atlantic CEO Frank Ward to completely americanize the show from the ground up the series followed team Angel a group of four heroic angels that live in another realm and deal with mythical themes when there's a threat on Earth the Angels transport to the planet to save people from thieves near car accidents fires and even tornadoes for the longest time all we really knew about the team Angel concept was the bizarre story of its Inception covered in the Kotaku article along Ong with the discovered promo for the series that is until my previous investigation of the company when I had been given photos revealing not only the Prototype dolls
4:38 but also early concept art created for the series I didn't think much would come from that investigation until I was given the chance to withdraw all of the materials submitted by Renaissance Atlantic to the Library of Congress archives tucked away in those archives was the full TV treatment to the team Angel series the document contained pages that provided further Insight on the characters from their appearances to their personalities the main premise of the show along with a breakdown of the series structure from episode to episode making sure I didn't miss any other potential Secrets I also made sure to get a copy of the already public promo that had been released to the public in 2018 when I received my copy I came to find that the promo video obtained from the library was virtually identical to
5:25 the promo Frank Ward had shared with Cecilia the only difference was at the promo provided contained both a long and short version each with alternate Bandai America and Renaissance Atlantic endslates but before we can close out this video I'd like to present the official TV treatment for the cancelled team Angel series Once upon a time there was a distant beautiful star called Zara it was ruled by the Magnificent Queen Angela who was known throughout the Universe for her breathtaking loveliness wisdom and virtue because because of the Angelic power and magic of Queen Angela everything was beautiful on Zara all the people were happy and peaceful sparkling crystals and glittering stars twinkled all around and throughout the land reminding everyone of Queen Angela's
6:12 kindness and Beauty whoever the lovely Queen Angela went she was surrounded by Angelic golden Stardust that spread peace and happiness she wore a flowing white gown and golden star studded Cape her long blonde hair was crowned by a dazzling Tiara of sparkling gems looking down from from her twinkling pink Stardust Castle High among the clouds of Zara Queen Angela was able to see our world she saw how special Earth was and how wonderful life could be there but she also saw trouble and sadness and that trouble was getting worse because of Queen Angela's evil sister Malvina the witch Malvina lived on the dark side of the moon and was devoted to eliminating happiness on Earth she and her two bumbling warlock goons flatsome and jets some could take on human or animal disguises or use black magic to
6:59 make people feel bad or sad Queen Angela knew that unless Malvina was stopped the people of Earth would never know peace and joy and only one thing could ever stop Malvina Stardust Angel power so Queen Angela handpicked four young maidens of Zara she would teach them the ways of Stardust Angel power so that they could defeat the mean witch Malvina and help make earth a better place these four handpicked young girls would in time come to be known as team Angel lla a black girl would rather read than eat somewhat reserved she of has her nose stuck in a book when the others want to giggle and romp in the woods although the others tease her about being so serious and studious they are quick to consult her whenever they have a question that no one else can answer lla far more than the others has studied Earth in its histories customs and
7:44 literature she is the intellectual leader intense about her studies no patience for nonsense secretly lla wishes she were more outgoing and glib like deline deline or Dell is the life of the party her existence is a whirlwind of laughs and fun impetuous and funny she has no time for reflection her motto in life is let's move it in our world deline would be the one who leaves assignments until the last minute and talks her way out of trouble she will sometimes get herself and her friends into trouble with her devil mayare attitude but her charm and wit Prevail deep down of course she admires lyla's intelligence and preparation and she'd love to have it all together like rosn rosin is a wholesome blonde girl next door type she's the group's unofficial team captain she applies just the right pressure just the right side psychology to get the others to work
8:30 together smoothly rosn is the takech charge one who gets the best performance out of everyone wiser in the ways of the world than the others she's often their spokesperson naturally patient and tolerant she is the one whom the others depend on to help them resolve problems she is the mediator of disputes between the girls in a crisis the others turn naturally to Rosalyn for guidance she leads by example and the others admire her pois and calm Celeste a chestnut brunette is quite shy and softspoken she is amazed that Lyla knows so much and would love to have delphine's quick wit Above All She admires rosalyn's Grace and courage Celeste sees herself as a bit of a clutz awkward and tongue tied at times she often doesn't get it but the others feel very protective of her gentle soft and kind a Daydreamer she has the Magic Touch when it comes to animals all animals love her and she in
9:17 turn can get animals to do amazing things with people Celeste often gets it wrong she's a little clumsy sometimes dropping her teacup or tripping over things but little girls on Earth will respond to her inner goodness and gentle ESS although she never seems to be quite connected to reality in a pinch she comes through and the others always are surprised and proud of her in a crisis at first the girls were very reluctant when Queen Angela told them about their new rules Earth they knew could be very strange and sometimes rather scary they also know how powerful and evil mavina was up until now their lives had been simple sweet and Serene could they do their new job but of course they loved their Queen and were eager to please her so with a little anxiety they agreed to try so the queen explained in the center of their Garden Courtyard is a small pond encircled by colored crystals when
10:03 the crystals glow the girls must look into the pond it will reflect the image of Queen Angela she will give them a special message about someone needing help on Earth often the people will be in trouble because of malina's evil Deeds the pond will show them in several Quick Cuts scenes of The Suffering or trouble that must be resolved the girls must then rush to the Luminous Crystal Cave portal to our world there they will merge with brilliant bands of light and color that will transport them to Earth and thrilling Odyssey and transform them into the powerful team Angel as the Angels a light upon Earth each will be wearing an action costume that combines femininity and heroism a dazzling Golden Glow will surround them they are ready for their mission team angel will have special Stardust Angel power while on Earth to counteract the witch Malvina and to assist people Malvina and her two goons have the power to pop up whenever they want to in any disguise to make
10:50 people unhappy although the goons will be largely laughable bumblers they will look very Sinister and have nasty intentions towards humans for example team Ang Ang will be summoned to help an unhappy girl who lives with a very mean Aunt they will later be revealed that the aunt is Malvina in a disguise and her spoiled son is a warlock team angel will use their Stardust Angel power to console the unhappy girl and reveal malina's identity every time the team Angel girls sprinkle a handful of golden Stardust they will be able to appear and disappear suddenly whenever and wherever they wish they can also use it to make evil people good or sad people happy their mere presence will cheer and uplift people they can also use their Stardust angel power to disguise themselves as plants animals or even people because team Angel are enchanted girls from a magic land they can
11:35 communicate with animals on Earth the appearance in special effects of glittering golden Stardust will signal that team Angel has performed or is about to perform an Angelic act from time to time Queen Angela will supplement the Angel's powers for example sweet Celeste will be given a pair of glittering Star Sapphire slippers that will give her the power to see through malina's disguises Malvina will use every Power imaginable to terrorize Celeste and steal them away way because they will give Melina the power of Stardust magic to cast spells of sadness and nastiness or Roslin will receive a diamond glitter wand that will make one wish come true for each person it touches Melina will try to cast a spell so the wand gives people the opposite of what they wish for and team angel will have to use their Stardust Angel power to save the day Queen Angela warns the girls that they cannot spend too much time on Earth if they do they
12:21 may be trapped there as Mortals to lose their magical powers forever she then bestows upon each a special time piece that will warn them when time is up the time allotment will change from assignment to assignment sometimes the angels will only have 1 hour sometimes a whole day or more they may even have to leave earth when their time is up to return later to complete their mission even though the angels will befriend each person they help when the time pieces alert them they must return to Sarah no matter where they are the people of Earth will be sad when team angel must leave so Queen Angela gives each of them a beautiful silken star statel to carry with them on Earth inside the satchels are golden stars that the angels will leave for people they have helped the people will then feel the girl of Team Angel are with them always in turn the maidens will always be able to look into their Pond and see the Earth whenever they want with the Little Stars glowing everywhere
13:06 that a good deed has been done Zara is a magical perfect Land There are beautiful green plants and bright pretty flowers everywhere bubbling Brooks and waterfalls are all around and there are sparkling crystals and glittering Stardust throughout the land all of the animals on Zara can sing and talk while on Zara our four maidens spend most of their time gathered together in a spacious three-sided Atrium nearby Queen Angela Castle they were pastel colored flowing gowns with sparkling Accents in the fabric and accessories their hair is long and flowing the maidens are cared for and kept in line by panie a gnome likee creature whose gentle appearance belies a No Nonsense personality and Keen powers of intuition with her lilting Irish brogue she'll be the first to remind deline to think before she talks or to rein in Roslin when she gets a bit too bossy but despite a Stern
13:52 approach panie Ador the maidens and would guard them with her life she can always sense when they're in trouble inside the atrium are flowers plants and luminous crystals the star Motif will be everywhere in Golden wall fabric on pretty vases on the carpet a few steps lead down from the atrium into a large garden Courtyard surrounded by a bubbling stream in the center of the courtyard is the Crystal Pond which will alert the maidens when a mission is at hand The Atrium contains large cushy velvet chairs accented by large golden stars woven into the Velvet there's a star-shaped table an aquarium is filled with tropical fish including of course starfish from a golden cage in the quarter we hear a constant chatter of Enoch a vociferous Mina bird that the maiden pamper he loves to spontaneously join in their conversations or comments on their activities because Enoch loves
14:37 to be part of all the goings on he invites himself to join team angel on their Journeys to Earth while there he has a whole new set of people in situations to comment on there are also a piano harp recorder and bells these instruments with star accents of course are for spontaneous songs the maidens love to play music by themselves or together with the singing animals of Zara deline who loves to be the center of attention enjoy showing off at the piano or harp although she rarely takes the time to learn the notes that really bothers Lyla a bookcase dominates one wall of the atrium it is filled with every conceivable kind of book especially about Earth with such an important new role lla feels she must learn everything there is to know about this Mysterious World and impart that knowledge to the others there are always an assortment of animals inside and around the atrium and Courtyard as Celeste has such a soft spot for Animals
15:23 she will often adopt rabbits guinea pigs kittens or puppies her favorite pet is a large Gray pop cat Nimbus who will often sit on her lap as she Grooms him with a golden brush listening to the others chattering meanwhile Rosalyn is determined to manage it all serious about her role as the group's unofficial leader and Problem Solver she takes it upon herself to make sure that there is cooperation and Harmony between them at home and on Earth but at times the responsibility feels overwhelming she then finds comfort and relaxation in dance the others will sometimes find her alone in the ballet b and a small Studio adjoining the atrium at least initially 25% of each episode will be devoted to the maiden life on Zara with their animals hobbies pranie and from time to time Queen Angela as the episodes progress and our main characters are established other zeran residents may appear both normal looking people and
16:09 Whimsical creatures 75% of at least each initial episode will feature team angel in action on Earth they will save people or animals in Jeopardy and comfort Sorrows often although not every time Malvina and her villains will be the cause of the human problems on other occasions people will just need a dose of Stardust Angel power to make a dream come true or to overcome a problem for example a little boy is very good but he has such a hard time with his studies that he might have to be held back in school he's terrified of tests a pep talk by the wise lla and a touch with the diamond glitter wand gives him the confidence he needs to pass his test in a later episode it will be revealed that Queen Angela had once sent her only son Prince Theo to our world on a mission of Peace tragically Malvina cast a spell and the prince lost his magical powers ever since he has been marooned on Earth disguised as a normal boy much later in
