It also (obviously) never got picked up, so for over 25 years, what little anyone knew about this pitch came from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHficeNF_Y8 a two-minute music video]] that features footage from a supposed 17-minute pilot episode, [[https://www.animefringe.com/magazine/01.06/feature/2/index.php3 an interview]] with Rocky Solotoff, the pilot's director and producer, several [[http://sailormoonnews.com/2012/11/02/complete-toon-makers-sailor-moon-voice-over-script/ scripts]] and [[http://sailormoonnews.com/2012/11/06/tuxedo-masks-face-and-mercurys-wheel-chair-from-toon-makers-sailor-moon/#more-1013 cels]] that turned up in late 2012. This version would have seen the civilian lives of the Sailor Guardians (referred to in this version as the "Princess Fighters") filmed in live-action segments that featured an [[FiveTokenBand ethnically- and disability-diverse cast]] (the pilot made Sailor Jupiter [[RaceLift black]], Sailor Venus either Latina or Mediterranean, and Sailor Mercury a wheelchair user).

** Sailor Venus became a brunette, as opposed to her traditional blonde hair. Although her ethnicity has never been confirmed, there is speculation that it overlaps with a RaceLift to make her Latina or Mediterranean. Her uniform also changed from orange to a bright yellow with orange accents.

* FiveTokenBand: Sailor Jupiter was black, Sailor Mercury was a wheelchair user and had long red hair, and Sailor Venus was depicted with dark hair and has been speculated to have either been Latina or Mediterranean. Ironically, perhaps, only one - who appears to be Sailor Mars - was Asian.

** A bit of a minor detail in comparison but from the only cel found of one, [[https://lostmediawiki.com/images/6/68/White_rose.JPG Tuxedo Mask's roses appear to be white in this version]].

** There is no trace of Usagi/Serena's early crybaby and CuteClumsyGirl tendancies. This Sailor Moon (Victoria on Earth) and her Princess Fighters weren't reborn but instead are refugees in hiding, so she takes on a [[TheLeader competent leader role]]. Even when she daydreams, it is homesick dwelling on memories of the battle on the moon and of Prince Darian.

This version would have seen the civilian lives of the Sailor Senshi(/Soldiers/Scouts/Guardians) (referred to in this version as the "Princess Fighters") filmed in live-action segments that featured an [[FiveTokenBand ethnically- and disability-diverse cast]] (the pilot made Sailor Jupiter [[RaceLift black]], Sailor Venus either Latina or Mediterranean, and Sailor Mercury a wheelchair user).

* AdaptationalDiversity: The pilot did this to the ''Sailor Moon'' anime that it's based on. The entirely-Japanese (though they didn't [[{{Mukokuseki}} look the part]]) Sailor Senshi are turned into a multiethnic American cast. Sailor Mercury also uses a wheelchair instead of being able-bodied.

* LighterAndSofter: From what is known from the pilot, this show seems to do away with the manga's tragic lore. The Moon Kingdom is presumably still standing and the Princess Warriors were forced to flee to Earth instead of being killed and reincarnated like their Sailor Senshi counterparts were. The closest there is to tragedy is Prince Darien being seemingly killed when his ship gets destroyed, but considering the appearance of a certain man in a tuxedo and a mask, [[DisneyDeath it's highly unlikely he's gone]].

* RaceLift: The cast were more diverse in this version compared to the original all-Japanese Sailor Senshi.

* CerebroElectro: Some comments from Sailor Jupiter indicate she would be version's SmartGuy on top of being an electricity user.

*** Sailor Venus: yellow.

*** Sailor Venus: wears a light yellow dress.

* Sailor Moon and Darian hold hands together, and LoveBubbles appear on a blue background*

Ray Mona later separately uploaded the 10 minute pilot which can be watched [[https://youtu.be/TSN3u0Tsib8 here]], and a clean version of the music video [[https://youtu.be/aTA18aYMO-k here]].

* HandBlast: In the second animated segment, Sailor Venus shoots a blast of yellow energy at the enemies, and Sailor Moon shoots a beam of blue light from her hads at the lava golem.

* DisabledSnarker: In the second animated segment, Mercury, on her flying wheelchair, shoots a laser beam at the lava golem and calls him "[[TallDarkAndHandsome tall, dark, and gruesome".

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: During the animated flashback sequence of Beryl's invasion, the ceremony is held on the moon's surface. Later, the "Princess Fighters" ride their "sky flyers" away from the moon and across space to escape Beryl's ship, without the need of any extra equipment, and are able to talk freely to each other.

* DistressedDude: Darian tries to wrestle a laser gun from the feline monster, and ends up in the crosshairs of its gun. Sailor Moon has to distract the creature with her sky flyer long enough for Darian to gain the upper hand.

* SailorEarth: This series only had the first season/arc of the original anime/manga to go on; the pilot held in the Library of Congress gave its own explanation for the absence of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto: that Queen Beryl had already conquered those planets and stolen the power gems from them that were needed for transformation. Which, ironically, is the direction Naoko Takeuchi would later go with (on a more galaxy spanning scale) with Sailor Galaxia in the final arc of the manga and its anime adaptation in 1997, ''Sailor Stars''.
