This little clip of an animated version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been making the rounds on the Internet, and for good reason: It's completely fascinating to see what a cartoon Sunnydale, filled with two-dimensional Buffy, Willow, Giles, and friends, might have looked like had it ever been made into a series.
Alas, the project — which counted among its writers Buffy's Jane Espenson — never came to be, so this little three-minute clip may be all we'll ever see. But at least it's something, right? And no, your ears don't deceive you: That's Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendan, and Anthony Head voicing their animated counterparts. (Buffy, on the other hand, is Giselle Loren, who also did Buffy's voice for the video games.)
The clip is filled (and I mean filled) with snappy one-liners, as well as a glowing vampire and a giant dragon. Does it work for you? To check it out, just read more.

This is SO GOOD. The networks are a fool not to pick this up.
1Aww, SMG didn't want to voice buffy? Glad to see most of the cast came back to voice their characters.
2This was made back in like 2002 I think. Pretty flipping sweet though!
3HOW did I not know about this? I can't believe that anything Buffy-related slipped by me.
4I freakin' loved this show. The tv series that is. Did any of you read the 8th season comic books?
5I was so excited about this when it was in development and then so sad when it never went anywhere...it looks like it would've been fantastic! Although I'm of the opinion that ANY more Buffy is a good thing - so I'm chock full of bias-y goodness
6I'm reading the comics right now. Very cool so far!
7Aww too bad this was never picked up. I agree, more Buffy in any way, would be great. "The harder they what?"
8For all the networks who refused to pick this (or any other Joss Whedon project) up, I have 2 words:
Doctor. Horrible.
9i miss the scooby gang!
10I would totally watch this if it was on tv.
11Gah, I miss the humor so much. Why is nothing else on tv this funny? She hit herself in the head with a stake!
12so great!
13OMG! I can't BELIEVE I missed this! This is great! No one writes like that anymore. The show was so well written and FUNNY when it needed to be, serious when it wasn't. LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I want the original Buffy back.
14Soooo Good! Thanks for this post. I miss BTVS tremendously.
15Oh mah gawd I would totally watch that. I miss Joss Whedon. Hopefully Dollhouse will be good....
16I am so unbelievably thrilled for:
1. Doctor Horrible DVD - with commentary on the commentary in musical form!!!
2. Dollhouse.
3. The current storyarc of the Buffy comics.
Whedon lovers, let's be friends!!!
