Honestly, it's surreal how a random purchasable 3D model of a cartoon cat spawned a million-dollar multimedia franchise.

[samwitches]

“the holy grail of taking tom lost media” was not a sentence i thought i’d ever hear but i love it

[AbdullaCommunicatingD]

once the model gets found Imagine a horror games that will be made with the model or maybe talking tom parody

[juliocesarcamilo]

Dang, hope they find the original talking tom model

[kitamayoru]

3:42 it translates to "leo the drunk cat" and leo is speaking in a strong northern accent imitating being drunk. hes saying "pick up the phone what are you waiting for?"

[Ishowspeedicespiceksininjow]

What’s cool is that it’s not even lost media and right now one of the only ones of our time where we know it exists and it’s right there, but like finding a needle in a haystack.. that’s 30 football fields long. So it’s needle media

[redllanterns]

the game being a series of individual frames is actually awesome to me as an artist. thats what my hand drawn animations end up looking like in the files too. its neat to see 3d animation saved this way!

[Mikko-Maggie-More]

I just realized how hard the original tom model would look in half life 2

[theelementalgriffin]

It’s crazy knowing how Talking Tom was actually a PRE EXISTING model made by someone else.

[vindi]

well this was interesting, learning that was lost media and that there's a guy with 51 HARD DRIVES (each one is MASSIVE) worth of data to search through...

[tysilio]

Here's a translation of Leo le Chat (for context, he's talking like he's drunk) :
H-hey... you! I'm talking to you! Don't you see that your phone's ringing? You're laid-back, huh? W-well, what're you waiting for? Are you picking up? Press on the button and say "hello?"! It isn't complicated...

Basically it was a stupid ringtone for cellphones back then.

Spanish Commercial Translation:

Creature: ¡I love the Flynn paff caramels! Do you want one?
Tom: But it is a gum
Creature: No, it's a caramel!
Tom: Its a gum!
Creature: It's a caramel, swallow it and you'll see!
*Swallow*
Tom: You're right, it's a caramel!

If you can’t watch an 8 minute video without 2x speed you’re officially cooked

[BLK]

i believe that the model WILL be found, maybe somewhere in 2025, i honestly don't know but if bug hunt by skrillex (which was used in a disney movie, and never got released in the soundtrack) can get leaked, then so can this model

[darktheloser]

7:07 did you create these subtitles with AI? The apostrophe in 2'007 looks really out of place, I don't think a human would make a mistake like that

[OPeratortypeN]

3:54 i don't even think a mobile phone could even handle that model at the time the game was made

[GIRSAC]

This is awesome, never knew that talking tom had lost media attached to it in the form of the original model. This was also a very well made video!

[EnderBudoks]

I drop onto the floor when Talking Angela as a plushie 😭

[junifil]

3:33 heya I'm a French Canadian person (unfortunately) so here's the translation

The video is called "Leo the drunk cat"

*Beeeep*
"E-"
"uhh hey you"
*Nervous laugh*
"ehe Yeh I'm talking to you"
"aye don't you think it's ringing now?"
"noooo, you just relax, huh?" (Credits to Yassoune and Ewnothank for decrypting this line)
"well what are y- what are you waiting for?"
"well, pick up? Yes? You push the-e button and you say Hello. it's not that complicated"
*Video fades out*

At least he can filter only the filetypes used for 3D models instead of going folder by folder, and, considering he is a 3D animator, he probably has a good PC. Takes a while, but definitely doable on the medium run.
