Dear Mafiosi:

A request for some Stooges-related help: does anyone know if the cartoon segments from “The Stooges Scrapbook” (1960 TV pilot) circulate anywhere?

I see that a couple of people have posted the live-action segments (subsequently reworked into Three Stooges in Orbit) on Youtube. I know virtually nothing about this pilot, but, apparently, the live-action scenes were given theatrical release as a short when it failed to sell.

My question: is the same also true of the cartoons? The Lenburg, Howard Maurer, and Lenburg book The Three Stooges Scrapbook briefly describes a scene or two from the animated segments in a way that certainly implies their survival.

In the meantime, I hope you’ve all been enjoying the holiday season – and best wishes to all for the New Year,
Rob

Paul G ran one of the animated segments at Slapsticon when he did his THREE STOOGES RARITES show.

Thanks for this information, Richard and Richard. So it looks as though The Spain Mutiny doesn't really circulate at all, then? I suppose that's as good an argument as any for showing up for Slapsticon early: I never arrive in time to catch all of Paul's Thursday night shows.
