Back to the Future is a 1985 science-fiction comedy film which starred Michael J. Fox as the high school student-turned-unwitting time traveller Marty McFly. In an early scene, Marty skitches a ride on the back of a Ford Ranger and later a Jeep, by holding onto the vehicles' back bumpers while riding a skateboard. While humorous, , it caused consternation within the road safety-conscious Australia. Hence, when the film was released in the country, it was preceded by a television-exclusive road safety PSA starring Fox, which warned viewers not to copy his character's behaviour.

« Left: "Celebrity Number Six" as depicted in the fabric. Right: The source photograph depicting the Spanish model Leticia Sardá.

In January 2020, Reddit user TonstaH posted on various subreddits regarding how they owned curtains containing fabrics covered with Pop art style illustrations of eight different celebrities. At the time, TonstaH sought assistance in identifying the subjects. Since the initial posts, TonstaH and fellow Reddit users identified seven of the celebrities, by matching the illustrations with the source photographs. However, the identity of one of the illustrations, nicknamed "Celebrity Number Six", remained a mystery. A search for the source photograph was ongoing until 8th September 2024, when Reddit user IndigoRoom revealed it was an image of the Spanish model Leticia Sardá, taken by Leandre Escandell for an issue of Woman Nº162. Sardá herself provided the full-size photograph the following day.

Thus, Circle Seven Animation was shut down on May 26th, 2006.

Helloooo Mr. Bush everybody! dycaite here with what will be (barring some unforeseen, miraculous find) the final notice board post for 2019, and to close out the year in style, we have yet another hefty post for you to all digest! Its length totally has nothing to do with me not having got around to writing this up sooner, I promise ;) ;)

Anyway let's waste no time and dive right in! Beginning with... ... The following:

• More collaborator videos to enjoy! This time we've got two videos from LSSQ - "The Infamous Banned Episode of Postcards From Buster" and "The Lost GameCube Tech Demo - Marionette (E3, 2001)", and from blameitonjorge - a comprehensive video (the most comprehensive one yet) of the search for Cracks (aka Crack Master); you can check all three videos out via the above embeds! Thanks for the continued quality content guys! 👌

• An episode of The Hanna-Barbera Happy Hour has been found! Episode 5 (the final episode, to be specific), as digitised from its U-Matic master tape, was uploaded a few months back by YouTuber Kevin Day and guest stars Tom Bosley, Connie Stevens, and R&B group The Sylvers. You can check it out via the above embed; thanks to Kevin for giving us a first proper look at this short-lived series!

• 3 episodes of short-lived children's puppet series Binyah Binyah have been found, bringing the whole 5 episode series to Found status! The episodes in question (ie. "The Three Little Duckponies", "Binyah has a Yummy Cake", and "Night Fright") come to us courtesy of Discord user Milk Prayer, who came upon VHS recordings of the episodes, which (with some help from fellow Discord user Mophead19961 in ripping and uploading the tapes) have since been made available online! You can check the first of the 3 newly found episodes via the above embed and the other two can be found here and here; thanks to both Milk Prayer and Mophead19961 for making the effort to pull these remaining episodes out of obscurity!

• 3 episodes of 1965 Belgian animated series Gibus have been found! Episodes 8, 9 and 15 ("Gibus et Pharaon", "Gibus perd la boule" and "Gibus et les gogos" respectively) were uploaded a couple of weeks ago by YouTube channel Super 80-90s !!! (which, as it happens, is run by our very own Gaucelm/Reynard)! Episode 8 can be seen above, with episode 9 here and episode 15 here; thanks Gaucelm!

It's time to visit Sonic's discount depot, here are 3 Sonic finds for the price of one:

• First up, another demo track for Sonic 3D Blast has been released! This track (Casino Night Zone) comes courtesy once again of GameHut (a YouTube channel by Traveller's Tales and TT Games founder Jon Burton), who have been periodically releasing demo tracks for the game over the past couple of months; here's hoping the remaining 3 tracks are also on the way some time soon! You can listen to the newly unearthed Casino Night Zone demo track via the above embed; thanks GameHut!

• Secondly, the long lost (no seriously, since 1999) Sonic Adventure New Year's DLC has been found! The Japan-exclusive holiday themed DLC was released in December of 1998 to commemorate the new year but was removed just weeks later and was, until recently, believed to be completely lost. Thankfully that is no longer the case! A DCEmulation forum user by the name of Moopthehedgehog made a post back in November about a Japanese 4X memory card that he had purchased, which, incredibly enough, contained the New Year's DLC content for Sonic Adventure! Moopthehedgehog's post also contained a downloadable dump of the DLC and can be found here; thanks Moopthehedgehog!

• Thirdly, have you ever heard the story of how a Sonic float at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1993 was deflated by a lamp post? Well, now you can actually witness the event as it took place, thanks to recently unearthed archive footage courtesy of Eyewitness News ABC7NY! The footage is up on their YouTube channel and can be seen via the above embed; thanks to Eyewitness News ABC7NY for digging into their archives to help unearth this rare recording!

• A Wii prototype of the video game adaptation for Sam Raimi's long-since cancelled film Spider-Man 4 has been found! This unfinished build was discovered, not unlike the Sonic DLC, on an older piece of hardware, specifically, a RVT-H Wii development kit, by Andrew Earley (AndrewEarley7 on Twitter). Andrew has since dumped and released the prototype online, which you can download here! Thanks to Andrew Early for getting this out to the public, and a special shout-out to Gaming Alexandria's Jonas Rosland once again for the tip-off!

Next up:

• 3 episodes (can't help but feel this is becoming a bit of a running theme today) of MC Hammer's very own cartoon series Hammerman in their Finnish dub have been found! Episodes "Lights, Camera, Hammer!", "Blast From the Past" and "Who's Who" were provided in late October by YouTuber Viihdekonserni and can be found right here! Thanks Viihdekonserni!

• An online short film by the BBC has been brought back from the beyond! 2016's Just a Girl, which centers around the life of a transgender child, caused something of a controversy when it was first released in late 2016 and was pulled from all official online BBC sources by early 2017; in the months to follow, copies would float around via MEGA and the like before all known links were deleted. Until now! Thanks to Kidmarscat, the film can once again be viewed in its entirety; you can see the half-hour or-so long film here via archive.org; thanks Kidmarscat!

• Animation produced for RedLetterMedia's Hallo Friends! It's Sergio has been found! A teaser found through the Wayback Machine as well as a pdf of the screenplay can both be found here, once again courtesy of Kidmarscat; thanks!

• Disney+ (for anyone who has been living under a rock, that's Disney's new streaming service) has released and it actually contains a significant amount of content that was previous labelled as lost! This includes the Bonkers episode "Fall Apart Bomb Squad", all but 3 episodes (there is it again) of Out of the Box and the remaining 2 episodes of The Book of Pooh! Big props to Disney for taking the initiative to get this older content back into the wild, releases like this are always much appreciated! You can sign up for Disney+ here if you'd like to see anything mentioned in this paragraph.

• And on the subject of Disney, yet another Circle 7 Toy Story 3 script has been acquired and shared online! This one, dubbed the "Taiwan Recall" draft can be found here, courtesy of script writer Jim Herzfeld and LMW regular YoshiKiller2S, who reached out to Jim about it was and subsequently provided with/allowed to release a pdf copy online; thanks guys!

Finally, as is becoming more and more of a usual thing, here is a follow-up addendum post for everything else we couldn't fit in (sorry!)

THAT is just about going to do it for today, big thanks to Ryanskip once again for keeping tabs on all the found stuff for us. Have yourselves a wonderful Christmas/holidays/New Year/beyond and I will see you all in 2020; cheers!
