Scrapped cartoon cutscenes of Crash Bandicoot

The scrapped cartoon cutscenes were 2D traditional animated cutscenes intended to be used in Crash Bandicoot, but were not accepted due to a multitude of reasons. It was made by the Korean animation studio Akom and produced by Universal Interactive. It was not released until David Siller, one of the producers for the first game, posted it in his own YouTube channel on July 12th of 2015. It was re-uploaded 6 days later by a user named Matt Wallace (also known as 9Matt2) on his YouTube channel.

History
The cartoons were supposed to be in Crash Bandicoot, but Sony disapproved of them because of their "3D agenda". They felt a 2D cartoon would be out of place in a 3D platformer, and it was never used. Almost all copies were destroyed afterwards.

Story
The first cartoon was a concept for the game's opening and mimics a Saturday morning cartoon intro. It starts with a pane of the archipelago and zooming in to a window in the Cortex Castle. Cortex is soldering a bar and attaching it to a cage around a globe of planet Earth. Afterwards, N. Brio releases various animals: an iguana, monkey, koala, warthog, komodo dragon and a bandicoot, whilst Cortex zaps them with the Evolvo-Ray. The next scene, Brio attempts to calm Cortex down while he gives orders to everyone in the room: Tiny Tiger, Pinstripe Potoroo, Komodo Moe and Joe, Ripper Roo, Koala Kong and an unnamed grey horned warthog. Afterwards, Crash is sent to the Cortex Vortex, but breaks out and starts running away from Cortex and Brio. He is recaptured, and zapped again, but once again breaks out, this time through a chained window. He floats over the second island and lands on N. Sanity Beach.

Tawna is held on a chair ready to be zapped and brainwashed, while Crash escapes from Papu Papu. He hits a tree branch and starts thinking about saving Tawna, but falls down the island and climbs up the second one. The Crash Bandicoot logo appears once again, with Crash trying to take the globe from the beginning from Cortex, and being successful. Crash then rides a car with Tawna, and blows Cortex away. The viewer is then persuaded to "buy [our] game and tell your friends so [we'll] make lots of loot". The first segment ends.

The ending cutscene starts with Tawna being grabbed by Cortex and Crash in each side. Cortex falls off his airship and lands on a ship with the Universal Interactive logo on it. He stands up full of coal in a pose similar to his original design and presses the button that makes the airship explode. A screen saying "THE END?" appears.
