Info: X-Men Animated Series Pilot "Sneak Peak" & "No Mutant" Original Version (FOUND!)

With the relatively recent release of X-Men: First Class, my inner X-Men: The Animated Series fan has been renewed. 😃

I was wondering if anyone had the “Sneak Peak” version of the animated series of the X-Men Animated Series Two-Part Pilot: Night of the Sentinels. It had a bunch of animation errors, such as Gambit having white eyes, Beast not having clearly defined fur, Sentinels looking too small, Cyclops having gray glasses, and Rogue having gloves at the wrong time. It also featured extended dialogue. You can see some of the differences in the recap of “Enter Magneto.” This website lists most differences here.

Also, a second X-Men item I’m looking for is the alternative/original version of “No Mutant Is An Island.” This episode couldn’t air in it’s proper place after the Phoenix Saga due to animation difficulties. However, they inexplicably decided to finish it for Season 5 even though it now made little sense chronologically. You can see the differences in the same website here.

Since the official DVDs don’t contain these, I’d be curious to see both of these episodes. If anyone can upload these to some file-sharing website, it would be much appreciated…

<span style=“text-decoration: line-through;”>If anyone wants the original version of the episode “The Final Decision” (with the original Mr. Sinister voice), I have that, so PM me if interested.</span>

EDIT: As it turns out, the version of “The Final Decision” on the X-Men Vol. 1 DVD has the original Mr. Sinister voice. However, the Legend of Wolverine DVD contains the deeper, modified, and less comical voice which was on the VHS releases and re-airings. As this was released previously, I can’t share this. Apologies…

Unfortunately, it seems that any of the official VHSes do not contain the original version of the pilot. The only place to find it seems to be a homemade recording.

However, No Mutant Is An Island's original version was used in some foreign territories, so it is possibly in the UK release of the X-Men Animated Series. According to tv.com, this X-Men DVD has the original version though I have yet to verify this.

Didn't know about the PAL issues... Though I haven't watched them that recently, I believe the NTSC DVDs were in pretty good shape, minus some annoying EE in Season 5 (which was an awful season in any case).

Nice! You are a god-save, Asaki! It's nice that these get released. I looked over both of these and you're right they are the original versions. They are low quality but it's fine. This is awesome!

If I ever see whether or not the No Mutant Is An Island DVD has the original version, I'll report it here.

*Changed the Thread Title BTW*

Ah yes there was a Season 5 but it had lower quality animation and, IMHO, was actually downright awful. Some voice actors also did not return to re-voice their characters. It's available in the US on DVD.
