If this is "Confirmed Non-existent", then why do we have air-dates in the newspapers?

I don't know much about television production, but is it normal to schedule a time-slot well in advance for something that doesn't even exist? Did they really schedule these time-slots, and then wait until after the newspaper was printed to come back and say that their movie hadn't even been started, let alone finished? I don't exactly want this thing to exist, but I wonder if we marked it as "Confirmed Non-Existent" too soon.

Yes, I see reference #1, which claims to be from an E-mail conversation with Dave Edison. However, it is just a text document. How can we verify that this comes from Dave Edison himself? Anyone can write up a text file.

[An Email From someone pretending to be Dave Edison, an editor who worked for Wolf Tracer.] The actual title of the proposed Easter show was The Rapsittie Street Kids in A Bunny's Tale. I don't remember if Colin had the story idea beyond wanting to do an Easter show, but JR & I wrote a first draft.

However, things then spiraled out of control. Colin was really inspired by the Great Pumpkin from Peanuts, specifically the robot chicken parody. He wanted to do an Easter version of that. We didn't have the budget to make a new model from the rabbit, so we just took the model for great-grandma and stretched out the head. Then we took the model of the one fat kid with the sandwich, turned him sideways and scaled him up to fill out the torso. Because Lenee's little sister was the smallest one, we cloned her into the ears. Finally, we did a bit more stretching and turned the whole thing white.

Then JR came into the room. He was all disappointed that the rabbit wouldn't show up well against the snow. We put the original colors back, and he said that we couldn't be friends anymore.

Anyway, you asked about whether we put it on TV. You bet your ass we put it on TV. I have no idea what kind of quality control these local stations had to allow the original, let alone the even worse mess of a sequel to air. Some of the stations even wrote back asking if we had more films in the Rapsittie franchise. I'm just glad I never had to meet any of them in person.

I hope to god that nobody has a home recording of that monstrosity. As long as no recordings exist, our rabbit homunculus is truly gone forever.

And please, for the love of God, don't ask me about the follow-up Rapsittie Street Kids Cinco de Mayo movie. I've repressed everything from that one, and I'm scared something will break through.

As I mentioned previously, for me Wolf Tracer was just a freelance job that lasted a year or so. I worked with a very small team of friendly, dedicated people, but we had awful, outdated animation software, not our choice, it was Colin's decision as company owner & director. The Believe in Santa script was handed to us & the voice actors, numerous flaws & all. So we all did the best we could with what we had, knowing the final product, to put it charitably, would most likely not become a holiday classic. Or has it, in its own twisted way?

We did our stint at Wolf Tracer & moved on, without a thought that anyone would remember or have any interest in those shows nearly 2 decades later.
