I just realized, this is probably the ONLY version of the Pied Piper mythos that actually has a happy ending with the children actually being reunited with the parents and the parents after suffering their consequences/learn their lesson change society for the better.
I have a hypothesis on why this movie was lost and never released. It all has to do with a Nickelodeon wanting to keep up their image as a television network safe for children. Think about it. This story is based on the classic story of the Pied Piper, a story where a mysterious man, after his award is cancelled, lures kids to their deaths like with the rats. Also, there maybe fears that this would make Nick look bad because some would compare this story with pedophilia, because it is about a man who lures children into a secluded area who could live with them. But it is such a shame because the creator of _Chalkzone_ turned an otherwise kind of now dull tale into a heartwarming classic. It's like if _Frozen_ was directed by James Gunn or Steven Spielberg back in the 1990's. The animation is colorful and lively, the characters are all relatable, the soundtrack is amazing, and the story is dripping with heart. And of course this story in no logical way supports pedophilia, it's simply a story of a man who wants to be friends and only friends with kids because he always felt alone when he was little, but in the end he helps the kids discover how to be themselves in a society that does not want them to do that. Not to mention the voice acting being superb. Wayne Brady was a perfect lead for Sly, Rodney Dangerfield was enjoyable as the Rat King, Rob Schneider was amazingly not annoying in the beginning, and George Segal was ideal for the role of the Mayor. This should be seen by everybody. The thought this thing was almost lost to all of humanity makes me scared about the other amazing gems that weren't so lucky...
The reason it's never been released is due to the songs sounding similar to other songs, and nick holds no rights to the real songs, not even when they were making it
No, here's another reason why this movie was never found prior August 9, 2016: The movie wasn't released on home video nor on video-on-demand nor rerunning it, due to references to real-world songs from the 60s and 70s, which Nick didn't allow to rerun it or releasing it on home video, due to legal issues.
I wonder why Nick would hide this for so long. The music is great. Its up beat and with that kinda off Broadway feel kinda like Hamilton. I dont see why they would never release this.
+Brandon Martinez It probably wasn't because of the music. Since this movie only aired twice, my guess is that Nickelodeon probably forgot about after a while and it just faded into obscurity.
+Ben Johnson according to some research I did, the movie was forgotten because nick couldn't find a safe way to distribute it because the music sounds very similar to other real life songs, and nick holds no rights to the songs. While filming this they had to re record some of the songs
omg, this movie had a very good soundtrack, i don't understand why it was lost. this cartoon movie is better than most cartoons we see today. it's really sad to see things lost. i remember as a little child seeing the previews for this on nick back then. i never thought 16 years later i'll be finding this as a lost film. this really makes me a little scared. like what if some of the movies and shows we see now, gone within 16 or 20 years. and we'll having to find it as lost footage.
There's a supposed lost TV adaptation of the fairy tale "Dwarf Nose" by German author Wilhelm Hauff. Many people in Russia claim to have seen it in the 1980's on the USSR Central Television Network, and none of the known film adaptations (around 20 of them) match their descriptions. They claim it was shot in a gothic style, in the realism genre, and was the scariest thing they've ever seen, with some of them still having nightmares. What's interesting is that no information about the film was recorded in Soviet newspaper TV programs, which has prompted many people to think that the film was shown without a valid broadcasting license. Various film organizations and studios, in countries like Germany (including archives from both East and West), Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and others, have been contacted, and all have said they are unfamiliar with the film in question, with some not responding at all. The search is now 16 years old and ongoing. The mysterious film has not been found or identified. It's existence remains unconfirmed, and yet a group of almost a thousand people claim they remember watching it.
You know, I can't begin to imagine how the Mayor of Hamlin must have felt when a black wizard used an electric guitar to lure his kids into a wormhole in the side of a mountain because he wouldn't sell him a motorcycle. I'm just saying that's a pretty weird scenario to be caught up in.
This movie was found somewhere, i was given a link on another video, and i am spreading the link to other videos regarding this movie, someone will do it i'm sure
The music and ambiance is some scenes just leave me fucking BREATHLESS. If I heard the music before seeing this, I would definitely be tricked that it was written for a big budget movie or something, definitely not a Nickelodeon tv movie. This is a work of art, and enjoyed every second of this. The voice acting was great with a good cast (especially for a TV movie) the music is AMAZING and the animation is very pleasant to look at. All of this come together in harmony as being one of the best Nick production out there imo. Truly a labour of love, and you can tell everyone working on this had a wonderful time and but their hearts into everything.
Purple Master Bobsheaux I can see doing this more since he’s more into reviewing obscure films whether they be good or bad and unlike the Nostalgia Critic Bob is less cynical and violent and I can see him liking this film
Everybody here does a great job. Especially Wayne Brady and Rodney Dangerfield. In fact, Dangerfield died the next year after this is premiere, so this is probably one of his last roles.
arch-UA-cam has gotten more strict with copyrights,some movies that were uploaded on UA-cam,stayed there for a few years and recently were removed. For example someone uploaded KND Operation:Zero back in 2014,but was removed 6 months ago.
The music is absolutely fantastic. It's a wonder how such a labour of love with such effort dripped into it was tucked under the rug to never be seen again.
Matt! It's nice to see the comments are back. Too bad alot since 2016 are lost. Good news: A lot more of Electric Piper has been found since 2019-today.
I'm convinced that the children of the town know and understand what Sly had gone through. Especially since they all were going through the very same thing. That's when the mayor breaking his promise lead to their sudden exile from the town.
We are at a 5 year annivesary of this being Found Media (within 2 days from now). And to celebrate I'm uploading an uncut musical workprint to my channel with Super-VHS quality. Enjoy in two days. Thank you to @Matt and everyone who has enjoyed this for 5 years after being rediscovered. I personally know Raymie Muzquiz the director, he'd be very happy. I'll also upload an official VHS dub screener copy from 2003 on UA-cam.
Oh man, I vividly remembered watching this movie on Nick back in the day but never knew the name of it or could find it since. Didn't realize it was found and archived almost five years ago now, I've gotta revisit this - thanks!
I'm so glad I found this...I remember seeing this once on Nickelodeon and I loved it....never seen or heard anything about it since then. I started thinking I had only dreamed about watching this movie. Glad this finally appeared! Was driving me nuts.
I just read the description and I think the director sent it to him because the director had one copy of it but he couldn't release it for an unknown reason. Tell me if I'm wrong or not.
To anyone reading this. I personally love this piece of former lost media from Nickelodeon. I'm writing this to say Happy Anniversary of this being rediscovered. Aug 9, 2016 - 2019. Happy Rebirthday!
Now if only we can convince Disney to acknowledge Song Of The South's existence and to get them to release it on Dvd and Blu-Ray! My friend, David, is a huge fan of it and would love for that to happen!
Whiles other characters came back in their "London on the Moon" outfits (with Simone Walter (another minor character in the film) transformed into a hippie girl), Mick came back in the same shirt he left in (having fallen to his death, but was resurrected by Sly)).
uh, im five minutes in and this is already vastly superior to any of the fluff shit nickelodeon has made for 20 years. this needs a home release, what are they thinking not releasing this!
@@cryptic_hades not only that, but actually selling it (and not just giving it away free) is how you go to federal pound you in the ass prison for many years.
This is an AMAZING original take on such a bland forgettable fairytale! My god, this should have played more often. It's a shame this masterpiece is so obscure.

For the longest time I never knew what the name of this was. The only thing I remember was the scene of the kids leaving town because of it being shaped like an "H"
I dont care how close the music sounded towards real music, this was a great movie and even though there was a couple things in the movie it was still a great film that i enjoyed.
Finally! It's about time this finally was made available to the public again! Nice try, Nickelodeon, but we diehard Nickelodeon fans didn't forget about this fun film and there was no way it was gonna stay lost in obscurity forever!
I haven't seen this in a long time, but I always remembered stuff from it, so I decided to do a Google Search last night to learn this movies name (coz I hadn't known what it was called), and that's how I discovered this movie wasn't available for anyone to watch for 13 years! Also, now I can finally see the ending :D
Oh my god... I have been looking for this for years! I remembered it was a Pied Piper cartoon, but any search I made just took me to the Merry Melodies one. I was starting to think I had gone crazy and somehow IMAGINED this or it was some sort of Mandela Effect. I'm not crazy!!
As of March 2023 (20 years later + one month since it's last air date), The Electric Piper has officially re-aired on Nick Movies via Canadian only Pluto streaming service. That shouldn't be a problem with a VPN. I think that's a bit screwy that Canada only gets to officially see this again in 20 years. But I have faith Shout Factory could re-release this on Blu-Ray + DVD in a new scan resolution. We may need a new Petition. The last one was for just seeing this movie again online as basically bootleg in 2016.

No the creators were very careful to steer clear of plagiarism. There WERE songs that came uncomfortably close to other songs but they were removed.
Probably because of the whole "run away with me children" thing
I'm really loving looking at this again, and reading all your wonderful comments. I am Bill, the Creator!
Hey Bill it's Paul. I'm trying to get Butch Hartman to react to this.

Is he a musician or a molestor?
Julio Peinado That depends on what you think of him in the original story.
"Where'd that hippie go?" Great dialogue
"Garbage is your friend. Why not wallow in your friend?"
"You'll be late for your ballet lessons!"
Nice find. The music is great. This is a pretty good film a with a typical early 2000s Nickelodeon feel
I am so glad someone found this movie. This is something i have to review for my channel
XD
A review would be sweet
this is the type of movie nostalgia critic would review
Or bobsheaux

Angus Accurate Gaming dont worry im going to upload this in my 10 different accounts soon everybody will know this
No this is Patrick Please do.
At all costs, this HAS to be preserved.
I don't think Nickelodeon/Viacom care that you uploaded this. Considering, it's been up for 8 almost 9 months...and has 28k views.
Now it’s 2 years!

a full run of a 14 year lost movie cool
My favorite part of the film is how Sly mentored Mick and taught him how to play a guitar at full-power, since he couldn't play at Sly's level.
Thanks to blameitonjorge,I finally to get to see this movie. This is one of the best 2000's musical animated film ever.I am going review this.:D
This was the movie I remember that inspired me to play guitar! So many nods to '60s/'70s rock culture, I love it!
Move aside kids, daddy's got another film to review.

Omega Bot No, it's not fake. It's just unreleased. So technically, it hasn't been found but the case is solved anyways.
pretty good for such a simple concept. Gives both an early 2000's with an older 1960s - 70s setting. 9/10
