I hope that we all get to contribute to more items being found! 15 August: As we approach 10,000 views, I think it's about time for a theme update. It's come to my attention that the current theme is a bit hard to read with the current color contrasts. I've changed it for now. I'll be looking around for new themes, and while the site is being updated, it'll be "closed", per se. Not permanently! I'll let everyone know before I lock the doors. Shouldn't take more than a day or two. 13 August: Thanks to Madguth, we have our very first piece of original artwork for the site! Go check it out on the Active Searches page!

Also found - lesson plans for teachers! Considering this is a kids' franchise, I'm shocked this wasn't found sooner. I'll add those to the Promotions page, since they were filled with ads to buy the DVDs. 10 July 2023: With the DDOS attack on AO3, I've found it necessary to start archiving fanfictions as well. Seeing as how that's a fan work, though, another site is needed. If anyone wants to start a NATM-centric fic archive, let me know, I'd love to host that. Maybe we can call it "Larry's Desk" or something, I dunno. Anyway, send me your fics. 1 July 2023: The NATM Fanzine HAS BEEN FOUND! This includes the fan art and the fanfiction. Both are archived, but the fan art portion is too large to upload at the moment. We'll still be archiving the individual works in the zine and linking to the artists' original posts, but it's nice to actually go through the zine itself and see what we're yet to find! 29 June 2023: The first draft of NatM 1 HAS BEEN FOUND! It has been added to the Scripts page! Also re-found: the "Boom! Boom! Firepower!" commercial! This marks the first two Completed Searches! 26 June 2023: Created a "Fan Merch" page! Accessible through the Fan Works page. Submit your merch if you want! Also archived all the Jeopardy! answers since 2007. 25 June 2023: Archived the concept art by Michael Cawood from NatM 3! Also archived more art + writing from the Natm Fanzine, and pineapple-coffee found a lovely little reference in Abbott Elementary. 24 June 2023: The NatM Facebook, and Facebook as a whole, is now behind a login-wall. The 2016 promotions page will be a while. If you want them to be archived faster, please send them to my inbox! 23 June 2023: Added a "References" page! A little place to archive references to the series in other media. 22 June 2023: Went through every single person in the credits as part of the animation team. Animators, layout artists, designers, build designers, and more. It took me about twelve hours of digging through their sites! There are so many talented artists that worked on NatM 4, and a lot of them got their first job on this movie. Twenty bucks says one of the next greats got their start on NatM 4. 19 June 2023: Added a "Concept Art" page! Now to dig through the animators of NatM 4 and scour their portfolios. Wish me luck! 18 June 2023: Added a bunch of stuff to the DVD extras page! Thanks to anna for submitting all this stuff tonight, it's deeply appreciated. 18 June 2023: Added a "Newsreels" page!

Submit your fan films to the site if you want! 17 June 2023: Updated the site's theme! Should be easier to navigate on mobile. |
