Hey guys, dycaite here with the final notice board post for 2016!
First things first: on behalf of all of us here at the Lost Media Wiki, I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 2016 has been a BIG year for lost media findings (and for the site's growth) and it wouldn't have happened without all of our passionate readers and contributors, so to you all, we are very thankful. I would also personally like to give thanks to everyone who has written about the site, or given us a mention on YouTube this year (particularly Abraham Riesman, Sebastien Wesolowski, blameitonjorge and Pan-Pizza); I appreciate the exposure more than words can convey.
But now, let us celebrate with a Christmas episode of the [[Lost Media Chronicles|Lost Media Chronicles]], some Christmas [[LMW-tan|LMW-tan]] art and a roundup of all the news from December (and brace yourselves, there's a lot of it).

'''DECEMBER ROUNDUP (PLUS SOME STUFF WE MISSED EARLIER ON IN THE YEAR)''':

So, here we go (in no particular order):
* A bootleg recording of the [[All Dogs Go to Heaven (Partially Found Deleted Scenes of Animated Film; 1989)|''All Dogs Go to Heaven'' extended Hell scene]] has been put online! It was recorded by [http://steam-runner.tumblr.com/post/146385150575/so-i-am-taking-some-courses-in-a-summer-art Tumblr user SteamRunner], who was shown the clip by their animation lecturer (who worked on the film). Big thanks to both for getting this out in the open and also to YouTuber GustyPL for mirroring it (as seen above)!
* [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5278592/ ''Kate Plays Christine''] (ie. one of the two [[The Christine Chubbuck Tape (Lost On-Air Suicide Footage; 1974)|Christine Chubbuck]] Sundance films) is now out on DVD and [https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/kate-plays-christine/id1172556662 iTunes (for either digital rental or purchase)]! I watched it myself a week or so ago and found it to be both fascinating and engaging; it also contains the most footage of Christine available to date and is definitely worth checking out, if not for that reason alone.
* All 13 episodes of [[The Mr. Potato Head Show (Missing Episodes Of Puppet TV Series; 1998-1999)|''The Mr. Potato Head Show'']] have been found! Links to the respective episodes can be found on [[The Mr. Potato Head Show (Missing Episodes Of Puppet TV Series; 1998-1999)|the show's article]]; big thanks to LMW users [[User:Paroos|Paroos]] and [[User:Luray|Luray]] and to their anonymous source for unearthing these!
* A German copy of [[Disney's Coyote Tales (Lost Disney Channel TV Movie; 1991)|''Coyote Tales'']] has been found online! Though this copy does not contain subtitles, it is most definitely a good step in the right direction; thanks go to LMW user [[User:Soul_Rhythm|Soul Rhythm]] for the tipoff and [https://mega.nz/#F!SwwlXITD!esKbS9fmIIgUJBs33YDNtg MEGA mirror]!
* More [[Chris Farley's Shrek audio (lost recordings; 1990s)|Chris Farley era ''Shrek'']] sketches have surfaced! Thanks go to LMW user [http://forums.lostmediawiki.com/user/287 unclesporkums] for finding these images throughout a number of online sources and [http://forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/668/more-farley-shrek-designs letting us know of their existence]!
* High quality English audio from [[Mickey Mouse Works "Minnie Takes Care of Pluto" (Found Original English Audio of Animated Short; 2000)|"Minnie Takes Care of Pluto"]] has surfaced! The audio comes courtesy of YouTuber pshq and now the short can now finally be seen in it's intended quality (via a Polish TV rip spliced with the high quality English audio, seen above)! Thanks pshq!
* A copy of the unreleased [[Akira (Cancelled Anime/Manga Tie-In Game; 1994)|''Akira'' Game Boy game]] has been obtained by collector Patrick Scott Patterson! While the game has not been dumped as of this writing (and it's unclear if a cart dump is even on the table at this point, though he did state that he hopes the game reaches the public in some form in the future), Patterson ''has'' shared around 10 minutes of footage from the game on his YouTube channel (said footage can be seen above). Thanks Patrick!
* All 6 episodes of [[The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican (Found Animated Series; 1950)|''The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican'']] have been found! As it turns out, these ones have been on MySpleen for nearly a year, spread throughout OldSkoolFan's WORST CARTOONS EVER! series of uploads. Big thanks to OldSkoolFan for the provision of these episodes and to YouTuber PoopToobYou for mirrors, the first of which can be seen above! One more note on ol' Paddy... Aaron Williams over at nodwick.com recently pointed out something rather humorous about these episodes having being unearthed and [http://www.nodwick.com/?p=7732 it would seem we are all doomed] :P
Hey guys, dycaite here.
* The [[Frosty the Snowman (Original June Foray Voice Recording of Animated Special; 1969)|June Foray ''Frosty the Snowman'']] audio has been found! YouTuber FamulatorAlt managed to track down the audio on a rare Rhino Records CD release for the film and has posted a [https://openload.co/f/hfge34n9Kuo/FROSTY_RESTORATIONV2.wmv.mp4 full restoration here] (30 seconds of which can be seen above). Thanks for the Christmas gift FamulatorAlt!
So, as a lot of you are probably aware (from either the forums, the shoutbox or the Discord), there has been a lot of buzz recently about a supposed leak of the [[The Christine Chubbuck Tape (Lost On-Air Suicide Footage; 1974)|Christine Chubbuck tape]] that turned up in a Top 5 video on YouTube (the video in question [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8agGtFmAJFQ can be found here]). I avoided reporting on this in any official manner until such a time as some concrete proof of either its legitimacy or, more likely, it's illegitimacy had come to light (unlike ''some'' so-called "news" outlets, who practically touted it as hard fact), but I can now confirm that the clip is indeed a fake, nothing more than a well done re-enactment.
* And finally today, just in case you missed it in [http://forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/646/new-trial-admin-loseratfinding the forums] a few weeks back, we now have a new admin; please make [[User:LoserAtFinding|LoserAtFinding]] welcome in his new role!
The clip was confirmed fake a couple of days back by Gordon Galbraith, news director of WXLT at the time, who posted a Facebook message outlining the reasons for the tape being fake, a screenshot of which [http://i.imgur.com/FToXkc5.png can be found here].
Randy has also done a short V-Log on the tape and its newly proven illegitimacy, which can be seen above.
Phew, that has to be one of the biggest notice board posts I've ever had to write, though I s'pose it's a nice way to close out the year :)
So, that's that; case closed. This leaves us with the conclusion that the clip was faked purely for publicity reasons and while I don't necessarily want to incite condemnation of NationSquid, I think most of you would agree that it's a pretty unsavoury thing to have done; here's hoping he finally does the right thing and comes clean about it now instead of carrying on the charade.
Until we meet again in 2017, take it easy guys and thank you all for your continued support!
Take it easy guys.

CHUBBUCK "LEAK" CONFIRMED FAKE (Added 14 Feb 2017)
