any lost media fans/stories?? + my story about lost film "Food Fight!"

I've recently been digging into the lost media rabbit hole, and I've been kinda hyperfixating on it a bit (well not really hyperfixating, just really really into it)

does anyone have any stories or reccs to get into about it? I have one myself, and I'd love to talk about it! It's regarding the 2012 film "Food Fight!"

So one day, most likely around 2014-2017, my sister and I found this movie on Amazon and watched the trailer. We decided to watch the full movie because we thought it looked horrendous, so of course, it was just something to laugh at. I recall watching a strange human-like cat lady walk around with busty features. It even featured some mascots for popular brands, like Chef Boyardee and Mr. Clean. I forgot about it for a long time.

One day, about a year ago, I got into watching videos centered around lost media and came across one compilation. One of the topics was "Food Fight!", and it surprised me because I was like, "wait! i remember watching that!" I thought I was the only person who had watched this movie, but I misunderstood the real story. What I watched was not lost media, but a recreation of it.

Basically, the film was intended to be released on Christmas 2003. Halfway through production, the hard drives containing the ENTIRE original movie thus far were stolen. They remade the movie and released it again in 2012. Here is a good summary of what happened from the Awful Movies Wiki.

The movie originally had a Christmas 2003 theatrical release; however, it was delayed, as the project had to start over with only what little remained since hard drives containing unfinished assets from the film were stolen (in what was quoted as an act of "industrial espionage") and that no backups were available (when they're actually deleted on purpose). It was released a decade later after being auctioned off and "finished" as quickly and cheaply as possible. Its state would lead it to become known as one of the worst animated movies of all time, and a serious contender for the title of outright worst.

I don't know if this will get much attention, but maybe it will lolĀ
