Some parts of this really SCREAMS Ikuhara, haha. I knew he was inspired by Dezaki, but not to what extent. Would’ve really appreciated seeing a full Nemo movie directed by Dezaki, it looks like such a work of art ❤️
Both Pilot Films had their strengths and weaknesses, but man, if they saw eye to eye and combined those elements, we coulda gotten the best Anime Film of the 80s (yes, even more than 'Akira')...
The part where the turbines freeze up may possibly be the best animation I've ever seen with my two eyes. This whole pilot is enchantingly beautiful with its flawless animation.
The level of detail and complexity during the scene with giant cogs and spinning gears just blows my mind. The design style of the whole thing is definitely different from the other pilot. Though the bed flight sequence was not as dynamic and fluid. But that's totally ok.
I would've selected this guy for the production just from seeing his take on the Nightmare King. Now _there's_ something that looks like it's come out of an actual nightmare.

It's like an animated version of the original comic art with a slight anime twist. I like it now...not sure I would've liked it back in the day though. The official release was easier on the eyes even if it was less artistic.
6:28 The girl playing the harp in the back of the boat looks more like final-version Princess Chamile, especially since we first see her playing the harp in the movie. 4:42 That is some Space Odessey stuff right there.
Yeah but distractingly so. It’s more about showing off the visuals than telling a cogent story. The Miyazaki pilot, while not as overloaded with eye candy, kept it simple enough where it’s more memorable than this.
Man, I'm happy with how it turned out. I don't really know why you guys are really treating it like it's a deleted scene or something. It's a "pilot". It's basically like an artist coming to a random person and saying, "Yo, I made this concept that I'm exploring and I would like to know what you think about it. Would you try me?"
I don't buy buy into the "anime aesthetics makes everything better" mentality, but looking at what we got, I feel the film would've been INFINITELY more memorable had it gone this route.
@@ReiAyanami366 I don't know about this being more "anime" (especially the horrid "mega eyed, pointy chin" look of typical anime today), but I would say that the character designs are more human looking and proportionate than the finished NEMO film. I suspect that this would have been slightly less overtly "kiddy" with a definite decrease in "Yippies!". But I agree: Miyazaki's pilot was the way to go. Make Nemo a lonely kid with no friends, whose father nags him for spending so much time making model airplanes ("get your head out of the clouds!"). He sees a squirrel making a nest at the very top of the tree outside his bedroom window, so everytime he sees the squirrel, it's sillouetted by the sun (hence the name, Icarus). When he has his first dream, he opens the window and Icarus gets in.. specifically into the models. Some moderate hijinks ensue, he wacks the squirrel towards the bed and into the sheets, and Icarus says "Ow!" Nemo's surprised, slowly pokes at the bed, and human Icarus pops up, leading to Miyazaki pilot. Add the sound of banging/gongs/bells (like a death knell), which is what breaks his bed causing him to crash. When he hits the floor, the dad is pounding on the door about the racket he's making. _______________ One "could" do a respectable remake by simply ditching the overtly "cute" stuff, and have the plot develop at a slow but steadily increasing rate (like a _good_ 80's film). Introduce us into the dream world with one or two moments (like Miya's pilot), and have Nemo get pulled into Slumberland (ie his subconscious) by the Princess, as Slumberland is already taken over by the Nightmare King (so Nemo already has a purpose to accomplish). Derive elements from PETER PAN and the ALICE IN WONDERLAND books (ie the King of Slumberland, the Clown and the Nightmare King look like his dad... and for good measure, get Tim Curry to provide the voices for all 4 characters) and you could have a genuinely good movie. You could even tie in elements from what he has to do in the dream world with what you've set up in the real world during the 1st Act, so when he "saves Slumberland" and awakens, he takes what he has learned and applies it to his real world problems (so the audience doesn't feel like they wasted their time, as "it was all a dream").
@@ReiAyanami366 It is more anime I'm the sense that it's Japanese animation. But not the trash kind of anime that is more popular these days. It leaves little room for art like this unfortunately.
@@TheRealNormanBates animation or media, in general, are going to have generic crap. Same goes with anime. Good examples of anime with different artstyle: jojo bizarre adventure, studio ghibli films , ghost in shell, big o, one piece, Michiko to hatchin, space dandy, flcl, studio 4c work, cowboy bebop, gurren lagann, kill la kill, soul eater, ping pong the animation, blood blockade battlefront, fullmetal alchemist, outlaw star, series experiment lain, Ushio to Tora, and Banana fish.
It was one of my family’s favorites to get from the library, we would check it out constantly and watch it several times whenever we got it. It had all of us kids laughing and the younger kids terrified with the nightmare king scenes. I have such fondness for it. I do love this art, but the movie is still good
I'm happy with what we got with the Little Nemo movie, the only thing that I would have changed is have Bon Bon there in Nightmare land since she was with Nemo and Princess Camille for their day out leading me to assume that she was apart of the main cast, however after that scene, I don't believe Bon Bon's even in the rest of the film, I don't think she's even present for Flips banishment. One thing that does make me happy, they did not go with this design for Professor Genius, He doesn't look right in my eyes, nor does he sound right, however pilot Bon Bon on the other hand she looked fine. Another thing I'm very grateful for, they did NOT use those designs for the characters that's with Nemo when they're flying to nightmare land.
this was my birth year why the hell did I not see this god I wish they made the full version of this its fucking awesome looking and very well done on the animation:) ahhhhhhh....... the good old days warms my heart :) love little nemo
This one looks more Ghibli than the Miyazaki pilot. And I can still taste the Ghibli in the finished film. It's in the elaborate background art and ornate animation also in objects.
There never was a "Miyazaki pilot" of Nemo. The 1984 pilot was directed by Yoshifumi Kondo and Andy Gaskill. And I have to disagree... the 1984 one has FAR more of a Ghibli feel than this pilot by Osamu Desaki.
@@Mesterius1 My bad. I stand by my take, though. The backgrounds in this one are more ornate and the strange Japanese attention to effects and machinery are missing in the old one. Not feeling it.
@@johnnonamegibbon3580 My personal ideal version of TMS's Little Nemo would actually be a film that combines the characters and directing style of the 1984 pilot with the scenery design and color styling of the 1987 pilot. The character animation in the 1987 pilot gets REALLY clumsy and akward at many points, and the directing has a lot of odd moments too. But the background designs capture McCay's world from the original Little Nemo comic strip better than the 1984 one. I agree, too, that the attention to detail in machinery is more pronounced in the 1987 pilot than the 1984 pilot. But at the same time, there is an important difference between the two. The 1984 pilot is showing us ONE proposed scene from the film; the 1987 pilot gives us a lot of fragments from different points in the story. It's very possible that both machinery and more experimental design would have popped up later in the 1984 take. In any case, the beautifully designed characters and the sense of wonder in the 1984 pilot is what gives it a Ghibli feel to me much more than the 1987 one. Regardless of whether the 1987 one feels more 'anime' in general.
@@Mesterius1 I pretty much agree with everything you said. If it turns out it wasn't planned to have any of the ornate detail originally, I then have to suspect it was the westerner that pushed the project in that direction. Western animation often strives to be Disney style cringe and rarely ever makes anything authentically cool. Which bugs me as Japan mops the floor with us and then takes the attention of all the youth. Which is why we've lost most of the audience.
this isn't a little nemo's 1987 version. if I'm not wrong , this is one of the test pilots of which there were 3 , starting from 1980 to 1985/6 when studio ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki , to me one of the best anime creators parted with the rest of the team over creative differences - to mention but a few, Isao Takehata (as one of the producers whose couple of films come from ghibli as well), and later on Yoshifumi Kondō - Hayao's and Isao's predecessor who also left the production in 1985 leaving behind a 70mm pilot film, after which osamu dezaki and sadao tsukioka were brought in, but after completing pilot films both left the project.... I wish there was a studio ghibli's little nemo in slumberland actual film . With no doubt, it would have been magical.
I can't vouch for the third; but this and Miyazaki's 1984 test film (which would have been "The Mad Aviator" storyline from the newspaper strip), along with Windsor McKay's Gertie the Dinosaur are on the Deluxe LD box set released in Japan
This is "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" (1989) directed by Masami Hata and William Hurtz. Nemo's look is radically different than the Ghibli's screen test - Nemo's hair is darker and Icarus is a person.
The Miyazaki/Takahata Pilot was great, and had a very dreamlike nature to it, but it wasn't as lucid as this one. Essentially all pilots had this trippy dreamlike feel to them, but this one was on another level. Everythjng about it is kind of terrifying and looks like the biggest acid trip you'd ever have in a lifetime - complete with vivid and bizarre, to utterly terrifying. Since it was mostly a showcase of what would essentially be the films most impressive animated moments it wasn't connected, and honestly it feels like a better representation of Nemo for it. The original creator hadn't made a cohesive narrative for Nemo, and it was mostly meant to be these strange disconnected dreams. The audio, and animation actually terrify me. The giant red eyes are scary as hell, and honestly the persepectives can be quite creepy too. It moves and blends together like a vivid dream/nightmare. The actual movie never quite lands that feeling. I prefer this version the most.
the pilot movies were actually much better than the final movie.. They really messed up the style of the characters and made it unappealing for the sake of simplification
It is pilot 3. Here are all three pilots in HD, sourced from a Japanese Blu-ray released last year: ua-cam.com/video/51iTj6Jbgt8/v-deo.html The first pilot from 1980 hadn't been made available to the public prior to that edition.
+Ed Ljungdahl well because it is anime ! It is produced by TMS (Lupin III, Detective Conan, more recently Yowamushi Pedal) and this version is directed by Osamu Dezaki which directed Cobra, Versailles no Bara and the Ace wo nerae films !
Hold up, wait! Am I to understand this this is an official pilot; a video pitch for producers which eventually led to the animated film Little Nemo in Slumberland?! The title says pilot 3, are there others?!
Late reply but it's by Osamu Dezaki. He's done a lot of great stuff like Bye Bye Lady Liberty and other Lupin III tv specials, the Black Jack movie, Space Adventure Cobra, Golgo 13, and Oniisama e... I highly suggest you check out other stuff he's made.
Those red balls are an entity in the sky, makes me think about our world as we live like nothing happens. But behind the scenes, theirs entity looking to control us and use us all and we must not let that happen. Just open my eyes to see that our world is not what it seems and best believe keep your mind open to all things 🌞👁 it’s already been here.. I see why this movie never came to fruition because kids imagination would have awakened us all by now in this day and age to the entities that control this world sadly... I always felt something else was here and watching but could never put my finger on it.. someone must make this movie come to life and make it even more deeper and raw 💪🏽🙏🏽🌞👑
Some gorgeous art in this and the final full movie ! However some really horrible decisions were made with the squirrel character and to add insult to injury the voice chosen for it if you can call it that is like nails scrapping a chalkboard ..😩😩😫just awful . Also the face of this boy is way more pleasing to the eye than the froggy faced Nemo that appears in the final movie ! There is many not so great things in the final cut but I still enjoy parts of it and like it for what it is :) tho It needed more of the Nightmare land epic lost city landscapes and adventure through it :) I have been addicted to anime for over ten years now and manga . I do love this thank you for uploading it :)
This version is certainly prettier than the final film, but still kinda boring. The Miyazaki pilot, though the shortest, and the least colorful, definitely had me the most invested.
さすが、『コブラ』の出崎監督。
色彩感覚と空間の描き方、タイミングの取り方だけで、出崎監督だと不思議なほどわかる。
昔の東映長編アニメ映画のタイミングの取り方なんだよね
Some parts of this really SCREAMS Ikuhara, haha. I knew he was inspired by Dezaki, but not to what extent. Would’ve really appreciated seeing a full Nemo movie directed by Dezaki, it looks like such a work of art ❤️
Both Pilot Films had their strengths and weaknesses, but man, if they saw eye to eye and combined those elements, we coulda gotten the best Anime Film of the 80s (yes, even more than 'Akira')...

This version of "Little Nemo" is cute, I would enjoy watching it over and over. If it was a full-length feature film, instead of a pilot.
@Phil Weatherley Agreed, while Ghibli's take was beautiful --I feel like the colorfulness of McKay is lost in their adaptation.
This animation is amazing, some of the best from the 1980's.
Nemo's design in this is way too adorable
Princess Camille look's so beautiful in this pilot than the actual film.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT Ive never seen this before! This should be one of the most viewed vids on the internet!
Nemo’s Face Is beautiful...I love his blue eyes 😊✨
Amazing.......simply....amazing....
一体!何年パイロット作ってんだよ、、、流石に気の毒過ぎるよ
This second pilot film was directed by Osamu Dezaki, one of the great anime directors. His presence is sorely missed.
I love this so much. I wish they chose this version to be made into a full movie :(
That background art and giant eyeball animation, doe!
I would've selected this guy for the production just from seeing his take on the Nightmare King. Now _there's_ something that looks like it's come out of an actual nightmare.

Icarus is a lot cuter and a lot less annoying in this version, and that alone is a tremendous improvement.
Geez, the Nightmare is absolutely terrifying in the version O.O

i love the fact that you noticed that XD

Same here
Same
I wish someone remake this and keep it this style and creepy voice acted with full expression this was amazing! This needs to come back out omggg!
Thank for uploading this piece of celestial beauty.
Glad I stumbled on to this. This is actually visually more pleasing then the miyazaki pilot. Good eye candy

What if that here in our world, makes me think deeper. What are they trying to tell us...
This would've been a classic.
Uffff quien después de ver este corto y el de 1984 puede volver a ver la animación de hoy en día con los mismos ojos!!! Diablos!!!!

This looks like a movie trailer to me.
The princess here looks way better than in the final movie.
I love these pilot .......even robot carnival
I just can't believe that this didn't get its own movie.
This certainly looks VERY different from the movie we have now.
I have watched the Movie (1987) but i had no idea these pilots existed until UA-cam threw it in my direction 🎉
Still the best game ever
2:35 - Professor, the less you talk about the little boy's "developing noodle" the better, while grapping his shoulders no less.
My heart💔
i thought it was a moebius production/ drawings ? make sense to me it's really great!
I guess this would be the version of Adventures in Slumberland where Golgo 13 and Black Jack show up.
...aw, hell, I'd still watch it.
Nemo grew up to be the young man that commisioned Golgo to kill him
Why couldn't we have this film instead?
Princess Camille is much prettier here than the Original 1989 version

I saw Little Nemo in theaters when it came out, did anyone else see it?
This is pretty much test animation for that Little Nemo movie.
This would have been a great studio Ghibli film
I like this version better than the one we got
Slip Mock Infact, this should be a sequel called "Return To Slumberland".
+River White It should
Slip Mock It would be even darker just like Return To Oz.
+River White Yeah we need films like that
Slip Mock I actually got a concept idea for Return To Slumberland.
If you have Facebook or Messenger, I'll tell you about it.
3:31
THAT'S the villain? hell, this was such a missed opportunity!
I keep trying to figure out what possibilities they could make with that
Marcus Mosley Especially when it dwarfs all the other characters in this pilot.
wow this looks great. hoard to believe it is from 1987?
This Nemo looks like a little Hikaru/Rick from Macross/Robotech!
Its just like the song of Indiana Jones Superman and star wars
2:40 - . . . uhuh
is there a full version to this movie?... I grew up watching the other one but not this one.
出崎統版ですね。作画監督は杉野昭夫だったはず。
黄金コンビですね～
someone please upload the making of vhs,dvd, bluray , there all different
Just like song of superman indiana Jones and star wars
I dont know what you call this aesthetic style (not the animation, but the setting and decor) but it is my SHIT, and I dont know why.
the pilot movies were actually much better than the final movie.. They really messed up the style of the characters and made it unappealing for the sake of simplification

So those 2 red balls are the eyes of the nightmare king? Has he no body or is he just invisible?
Who directed this pilot?
Late reply but it's by Osamu Dezaki. He's done a lot of great stuff like Bye Bye Lady Liberty and other Lupin III tv specials, the Black Jack movie, Space Adventure Cobra, Golgo 13, and Oniisama e... I highly suggest you check out other stuff he's made.
Do you think guys this Nemo looks like Seiya from Knights of Zodiac?
Those red balls are an entity in the sky, makes me think about our world as we live like nothing happens. But behind the scenes, theirs entity looking to control us and use us all and we must not let that happen. Just open my eyes to see that our world is not what it seems and best believe keep your mind open to all things 🌞👁 it’s already been here.. I see why this movie never came to fruition because kids imagination would have awakened us all by now in this day and age to the entities that control this world sadly... I always felt something else was here and watching but could never put my finger on it.. someone must make this movie come to life and make it even more deeper and raw 💪🏽🙏🏽🌞👑

Some gorgeous art in this and the final full movie !
However some really horrible decisions were made with the squirrel character and to add insult to injury the voice chosen for it if you can call it that is like nails scrapping a chalkboard ..😩😩😫just awful .
Also the face of this boy is way more pleasing to the eye than the froggy faced Nemo that appears in the final movie ! There is many not so great things in the final cut but I still enjoy parts of it and like it for what it is :) tho
It needed more of the Nightmare land epic lost city landscapes and adventure through it :)
I have been addicted to anime for over ten years now and manga .
I do love this thank you for uploading it :)
A Japanese animation with the fluency of american animation.
More precisely - Japanese animation with a big budget. =]

This should be a meme @ 6:00
よく動く日本製アニメって感じ
このパイロット版は出崎監督なのでまぁ間違ってはいない
This version is certainly prettier than the final film, but still kinda boring. The Miyazaki pilot, though the shortest, and the least colorful, definitely had me the most invested.
You mean the Yoshifumi Kondo/Andy Gaskill pilot?
What we got was such a downgrade in quality...not to say it was a bad movie no no, it just that this style was way more cooler!
