The Buffyverse That Never Was
Take a look at what could've been
The kids at ONTD! stumbled upon a short vid clip of the failed Buffy the Vampire Slayer animated series that was shopped around back in 2004 but was never picked up for airing. Here are a few screenshots from the short vid clip:
In the proposed animated series, all of the voices of the original castmembers were to be used (except for Sarah Michelle Gellar who has been remarkably unsupportive of all things Buffyverse since the end of the series) and the action was set back during the Sunnydale High days. I gotta say, this little vid clip from the pilot is really cute … I would’ve loved it if the show had gotten picked up … I would’ve watched, for shiz. After the jump, check out the vidclip for yourself …
So, Buffy fans, what do we think? Again, I love it … I wish it had been picked up … yes?

Awww I miss Buffy!
yay!! Love it…
I would’ve watched this. :( They shoulda picked it up
I’m unimpressed
don’t know if i would’ve watched it… maybe if the dialogue had been better, and they’d used someone a whole lot less annoying for buffy’s voice… and no dragons. seriously, wtf?
i love it ^^
i would have def watched it!! it seemed so tight! too bad sarah doesn’t use her voice tho. buffy voice sounds like the one off the video games!
I really wish they’d make season 8 into an animated series!!
AWWW, It made me miss Buffy sooo much. The dialog was kind of cheesy, but I think I would have watched it! :D I wish they would make a movie, but sadly I don’t think Sarah would ever agree to it.
yeah, i would’ve watched it. haha it was kinda cute =)
awesome….i want to see Joss release the full series
Ummm… so, if the girl doing the Buffy voice had any sort of comedic timing it would have been palatable. But, love the attempt.
AWWW MAAAaaaan!!!… I so would have watched it…theres still hope =)
Your comments about Sarah annoy me. First of all she wants to build a career seperate from Buffy and that is fine with me. Second of all she just recently returned to the BIGGEST Buffy reunion ever @ The Paley Festivial or whatever it was called I saw the pictures here and I think you attended!! She could have refused however she came and was supportive. If you had done something 7 years and was “DONE” with it, I am sure you would act in the same manner. JMO. I still like your page!
Sarah has said before she would do a movie if the script was right and I am sure she would too if her SALARY was right as well. Don’t count her out yet.
Sarah hasn’t been that supportive. I think the problem lies in the direction the show went at the end. But she also needs to realize she does NOT have a huge career outside of buffy. shes done some mediocre work since then. A few straight to dvd’s, a movie with The Rock (which I’ll give credit to Southland Tales cause it was an interesting idea). Shes not the best actress around and she definitely has a big ego and little to back it up with.
David Boreanaz has the same attitude she does, and it hasnt sat well with Angel fans. He goes as far as refusing to talk about the character that made him famous, in interviews. Celebs who know that one character made them big..tend to act like that. It’s something that needs to be accepted and cherished.
That being said!!! I’m a huge buffyverse fan. And when I saw this on SlayAlive.com I flipped. The show could STILL get some kind of release because apparently there’s another episode that was created for a later pitch that was rejected a few years later.
It’s not fair that a show like Buffy that has such a huge following keeps getting turned down for spin-off series and films. :( I bet Joss Whedon would’ve had as much fun as he is with the comic series with an animated series without the constrains of television.
I liked it, didn’t like Buffy’s voice… little annoying.
But it was cute to see them as toons :)
I love Buffy! I love that you love her too!
You have to make sure that it doesn’t involved The dialog that you will not going to understand. Here is The dialog that should help you be successful at it. It is pretty volatile and hard to read, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn if you follow The dialog.
