  • The original version of the pilot was shown in theaters before Fourth Spongebob Squarepants Film (Hopefully).  (This was the first show to first appear in theaters; the second was the original Ant-Op pilot (which became "The Night, that begins") was shown with The GoldBox Show: Halloween Harvest.)  As far as I know, it has never aired on TV in the USA, nor has it been released on video tape or disc (not even on Halloween Harvest DVD - the DVD included instead of the TGS & Ant-Op Pliots was two Sidi-Man episode instead.)
  • Animation / Format Differences from "Final Show"

  • There are a number of design differences - for example, Danielle has brown hair instead of her normal black or purple hair; Sidi's "Spider-Man?" shirt is lighter purple instead of darker purple.
  • The Original "David Cartoons" YouTube version is just short of 10 minutes long (there was a time when YouTube had a 15-minute limit).  A number of sources say that the actual pilot is 14 minutes, so that version may have been re-edited and/or sped up for some reason.  (There is no obvious cut in the video, other than right at the start, although the "She Won't Go" song is shorter than the one in Prequl-episode of The Final Show.)

    Halloween Harvest has a long and reasonably interesting history that goes along with it.  After the movies like of The Dick Figures Movie & Scott Pligrim vs. The World, Jane & Sidi decided to make more movies based on their animatied shows; besides a Kenny GoldMan movie, plans were made in 2021 to start making a Ponzi's movie.  Originally, the plan was for the movie to be about The Ponzi's spenting summer vacation, but Jane decided that the show had a better story for a movie: The Ponzi's vs. Ego & Celebrity / Interent Culture, which was planned for a series Special, and that became the theatrical movie while "Summer-Fred" was written and animated as a Special.  In the meantime, "the movie" - which is nicknamed "Halloween Harvest" as it takes place after Season 2 - was going through a series of rewrites. (while Jane had announced plans to have at least two animated movies a year released.)  The title was changed to The GoldBox Show: The Movie, and then Halloween Harvest, probably to get people who were familiar with the show to watch it.

    But enough of that...you want details on the movie, right?

    The GoldBox Show: Halloween Harvest (film)
    It was to take place during a time when people become driven by ego, set in a world with an endless night, where daytime doesn't exist. It was to revolve around boils that would appear on the heads of celebrities whose egos became too big.

    Directed by Sidi Badjie
    Art Director: Jane Haruka
    Sequence Directors: Jane Haruka
    Animation Directors: Jane Haruka, Sidi Badjie
    Storyboard Artists: Jane Haruka

    Cast:
    Danielle "Doodle" Bee, FredBear, Incidentals (uncredited), Jon (Elvis Presley impersonator) - Jane Haruka
    Sidi "S-D" Badjie - Sidi Badjie
    Alexander "Alex" Bolton - Alexander Bolton
    Matthew "Russ" Russel - Matthew Russel
    [more voices TBA]
    Also, Gorillaz' Second Album, "Demon Days" was a influence for this film.

      STORY
      In the movie, Matthew would go insane and leave the band, which affects all four of them. Alex would also leave "The Ponzi's" to form a heavy metal band, who became cannibals after he "unknownly" locks them in the basement for an extensive period of time. Alex would then be chased out of Fredville, before being attacked by the heavy metal band and turning into a half-zombie also including a backstory for Danielle and Sidi (Before Ponzi's). FredBear would also "turn bad" and hunt down Alex for some reason after he was taken away from Danielle by the Grim Reaper.

      Trivia

    • Halloween Harvest is actually only one of multiple scrapped scripts written for a TGS film.
    • The art style of Phase 2 (Season 3-4) also comes from much of the concept art for the film.
    • Sidi is seen wearing glasses in this film
    • Danielle is sightly older in this film
    • Another idea for a The Ponzi's-related movie involved record labels/corpartions killing off their artists/employees..
    • The script for Halloween Harvest was 360+ pages long, (accidentally 6+ hours of content).
    • Halloween Harvest originally was a musical
    • There were talks of brand new Ponzi's songs being in the film. It is not know if they came to fruition.
    • Originally TGS was to be cancelled after this film release

    here's the Phase 1-Finale movie with lighter comedy-fulled script, right?

    The GoldBox Show: Summer-Fred (film)
    After School Test wrapped, The Ponzi's and their friends are going to have a great awesome Summer Vacation, Choas Insue.

    [more voices TBA]
    Also, Disney Channel Original Series, "Phineas & Ferb" was a influence for this film.

      STORY
      Summer-FrED was starts at the summer before Halloween Harvest and Phase 2, Alex and Sidi getting into different high schools. It follows similar beats to Halloween Harvest. they fight more and more throughout, but Superbad is less biased over whos right and more focused on getting the two to openly accept that they care about each other. Quietly on the sidelines, I would also give hints of how I imagine dynamics changed post-Halloween Harvest, with Alex and Sidi being generally more accepted, Danielle, Matthew, FredBear, Lily, Shadow, Melody, Ricky & Kelly are having a great summer vacation and getting into crazy-messy adventures, Khriz still working on regaining the band and their friends friendship and learning to operate without Interent, how The Ponzi's have changed since Alex went on vacation in OHIO, and Alexanders paranoia-ridden relapse into hating Sidi, again.

      Trivia

    • (poster was made back in like 2024/2025, the original pencil draft will be among the concept art I post on Here afterward, along with some GoldBox Show / Gorillaz stuff I think)
    • The Ponzi's is sightly older in this film
    • The script for SummerFred was under 360+ pages long.
    • the first 4 minutes of the film are largely corrupted
    • WARNING:
      please share this around on websites or anything. Besides not normally releasing unfinished projects, I would prefer for this NOT to become a copyright nightmare for you! SummerFred is blocked from monetization, so please spread my other David Cartoons Product instead if anything!

    This is based on the version that appeared on YouTube, which may have been an edited version; I'm pretty sure I've seen another version with a different set of credits that included uncredited voices

  • The story is based on a story in the "Arnold" comic strip that appeared in the "special 3-D issue" of Simpsons Illustrated magazine.
