What happens

Sailor Moon, also known under the nickname of Saban Moon, is an unaired proof of concept pilot episode that loosely adapts the Japanese manga and anime television series Sailor Moon. The pilot episode featured a mixture of live-action and animation, as well as a diverse cast of young women who secretly fight evil. It was directed by Rocky Solotoff, and a two minute music video was created alongside the pilot. The pilot was not picked up for production and was not distributed; the two minute music video was shown at an Anime Expo convention in 1995, where it was videotaped via camcorder. The pilot episode was assumed lost until its discovery in 2022 by YouTuber Ray Mona. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
