The Angry Beavers.

"Cuffed Together" is one of two pilots of the Nickelodeon series The Angry Beavers. According to several sources, these pilots have rarely been aired worldwide, apparently never even having been aired at all in the United States.

History

The pilot episodes, "Snowbound" and "Cuffed Together", were created in 1994. Mitchell Whitfield voiced Norbert in the pilots (whereas in the actual series, Norbert is voiced by Nick Bakay). Additionally, in the pilots, Norbert looks very similar to Daggett, and less distinguished than his final character design. Several other differences from the final product of the series can be distinguished.

Plot

The plot of the first pilot, "Snowbound", involves the two beavers trying to find ways to pass time inside their house, after being "snowed in". The second pilot, "Cuffed Together", involves Norbert and Daggett being arrested after Daggett destroys an expensive wooden statue. Eventually, the beavers manage to escape whilst handcuffed together.

Evidence and Discoveries

Several people from Latin America claim to have seen both the pilots air on the Latin equivalent of the American "Nicktoons Network". Furthermore, "Cuffed Together" was allegedly even screened in some theaters before a movie titled The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It has not been revealed what country these theater screenings supposedly took place in, nor has this claim ever been confirmed.

On February 24, 2013, a bootleg copy of "Snowbound" appeared on YouTube, courtesy of Greg Bruhl, who found it included as an extra in a bootleg DVD collection he bought. Almost one year later, on February 8, 2014, a DVD-rip of "Snowbound" surfaced on YouTube, courtesy of Eddy's Uploads. Upon closer inspection, the DVD appears to have been originally sourced from a VHS tape. At the very end of the video, "©1994 Nickelodeon" can be seen.

On April 3, 2015, Mega.co.nz mirrors of "Snowbound" were made available on the page after first appearing in a comment dated June 16, 2014, four months after both YouTube copies of "Snowbound" have been deleted.
