Production notes

The series was originally scheduled to premiere in 2002 on Fox Kids. But Fox sold their children's programming division during pre-production. Fox tried to sell the series to many networks but none of them would pick it up. In 2004, this four-minute pilot was made but still no network would buy it.

The entire cast of the original series were to reprise their roles except for Sarah Michelle Gellar. She refused to participate because she felt the original series ended the story effectively.
