Rayman's training: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

Infamously, the most well-known example of ''Rayman's training's'' presence would be clips being used in the E3 1998 trailer for ''[[Rayman 2]]'', which was after the original [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|2D ''Rayman 2'']] was cancelled. Due to this timeframe, it can be speculated that some of ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s original cutscenes were later completed as a animated short, which would become ''Rayman's training''.

The sole known credit that can be given for ''Rayman's training'' would be a sound design company by the name of Farra Vox Studios, evidenced by a webpage on their website containing a photograph of the short with the name "Rayman training". The website of the French National Audiovisual Institute, ina.fr, lists the short as "Rayman's training", and is the only other source of the short's name. It lists a date for the film (February 1998), gives a much longer length of two minutes and fifty seconds (the film is one minute and forty-four seconds long), and credits it to the ''Imagina'' multimedia festival. The festival was held in March 4-6, 1998, but no mentions of the short are present in contemporary media. ~~Curiously~~, a concurrent Tonic Trouble trailer also attributes itself to having been shown at Imagina 1998.

There are no other known presences of ''Rayman's training''. None of Imagina's home media has the short included, [[Ubisoft]] makes a passing mention of it on 2024's ''Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition'', and the short was never seen in full as clips were only used as ancillary material for commercials. One known piece of concept art is known to exist, depicting Rayman and the punching bag on the log. It was believed to be lost media until it was found with no sound in the files of the August 14, 2003 PlayStation 2 prototype of ''[[Beyond Good and Evil]]'' and uploaded to YouTube on March 12, 2022.

The short was the subject of a collective search by the ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' fan community, where a 2021 forum thread was created on the Pirate-Community forums following a now-deleted Twitter thread about the then-untitled short that previous year. Information regarding the short is still recalcitrant, and current discussion relies on educated guesses about the short itself.
