Shezow Original Pilot (2007) 

Thank God they changed the character designs. Soooo much cuter now.

It's a shame they didn't keep the "Best friend being in love with the Heroine without knowing it's really his best friend"-thing going in the show. That could've lead to a lot of comedic moments. Though the gag could probably only last for at least 5 episodes then they would have to spill the beans, otherwise it would get boring.

THE OLD ART STYLE IS SO CHARMMINGG OMGG,, I LOVE THE VOICES TOO OFC THE FINAL ONE IS GOOD TOO BUT OMGG THE OLD ONE IS UNDERRATED

1:33 “Unhand those innocent people, or I shall pinch you a cheek! All of them!” 💖😂🤣

The dialogue in this pilot is a lot better than the finalized version - then again, considering that Guy and Kelly are a lot older, I guess it's targeted to a more older demographic as well.

I always loved how this show is basically fuck gender norms Lets make this guy named guy into a girl superhero And he just rolls with it not caring. Respect

I actually like this one better. The art style was a bit weird at first, but only because it's such a huge change from the finished product - it actually grew on me after a while. Besides that, this version is definitely a lot funnier. They really should've kept the pilot's writers, if nothing else - the constant She-puns on the show get annoying very quickly; this version has way more visual humor (that's actually well done). I also really liked the idea of Guy changing into She-Zow randomly, and the whole "best friend in love" bit is GOLD. I will say this in defense of the current show - I am NOT sorry in the least that they changed She-Zow's outfit. Ouch....

this type of plot + the current animation = BETTER SHEZOW

4:59 Aged like fine wine

The most significant change for the actual series is the elimination of his friend being attracted to Shezow while not knowing her/his identity, which surely would've made the family-values crowd way more uncomfortable than the final product. In fact, I don't believe anyone being attracted to anyone else has come up yet in any ep shown on the HUB. Also, "I'm a DUDE again!" implies a physical gender change, though nothing definite. Makes me appreciate the careful improvements.

Oh my god, it's really more cute like that. I prefer the turn of events of this version (the dude who loves Shezow is a great idea) but Shezow with black hair and different outfit is better. If someone could create a mix of both...

I already like the writing more, however i think the designs in the final vers are way better i wish the kept jose tho, but i also like maz and idk if they would work in the same show

I still can't believe that this short exist. I just thought it was only a legend

I enjoy this version more than the edited version, I wish they never changed the original, and I wish this show was never cancelled.

2013 SheZow could totally kick 2007 SheZow's ass!

2007 shezow's costume looks crappy. 2013 shezow's costume looks more awesome

I disagree, and yet I agree. Personally, the art, design and animation of the new version is far superior. However, the writing and acting of the original short are much better than the new one. Yes, I'm aware some parts of it are exactly the same. However, the fewer amounts of She-puns are welcome, and Guy's friend being romantically interested in Shezow as opposed to being an indecisive and fairly useless sidekick is a much better plot point.

Yeah, as weird as the 2013 cartoon looks (two of the main characters are gray, for Pete's sake), the pilot looks like the Total Drama series redrawn by a cubist and then redrawn by a preteen fangirl. I will say that the old lair design looks pretty good, and I can definitely appreciate the characters being more restrained in their actions and reactions... but man am I glad they dropped the 'best friend with a crush' thing. That would have just been awkward to see every episode... seriously.

0:51 wait a damn second 0-0

I like that this version doesn't have the really stupid puns every few seconds. That made the show so painful to watch...

I prefer watching SheZow. REAL MEN WEAR PINK!

4:59 this part is just so goddamn funny

I actually think that that the comedy in this is better than the (new?) SheZow. I would totally watch this if it was a thing. Lol, imagine, SheZow meets SheZow. XD

WE COULD HAVE HAD JOSE?? damn

I don't know what the "SheZam" video is, but Obie mentioned something about how he came to create SheZow (you've probably heard this, but most people reading this haven't)- as a kid, one of his favorite Saturday morning shows in the '70s was Filmation's "SHAZAM!". And one day, he thought, "What if Billy Batson said 'SHEzam'? Would he become a different superhero, in a different outfit?". And that was the genesis of 'SheZow"....

Now this brings back memories!

I actually like this version much better than the new! It's more cute, and I like the art style.

Exactly. Wade "refined" the origin story for the first episode of the weekly series, with slight changes in design and script (i.e. at 1:34- in the final version, Guy mocks Aunt Agnes by reciting, "My name is SheZow/My fists go pow-pow!/I'm here to save the world/You GO, girl!"...while BECOMING "her". When he realizes he's "stuck" being SheZow, he lets out a "sonic scream" that reveals the location of the "She-Lair"...}

Damn it took them from 2007 to to 2013 to finally get the show done

This animation is so 2007.

The "lip screen" at 2:32 became part of a more elaborate all-knowing computer, represented by "Sheila", a pair of pink lips {with an attitude} on screen. And, unlike Jose [who never made it to the series], best friend Maz quickly figured out WHO SheZow was, and became Guy's ally in fighting crime (usually dressing up in silly "sidekick" costumes that virtually NEVER work out).

SheZow is the cousin of Shazam/Captain Marvel except he's a boy in a princess like costume

that Kelly design is so cute

Ok... I recognize the voices of Kelly and Guy. Guy,is the voice of Jackson from Hannah Montanan and Kelly is the voice of Lily from Hannah Montana. But the voice of Jose (2013,Maz) I sorta recognize... Idk...

omg this was perfect

I don’t like that guy is a overly manly guy in this version. I like him being Normal Also they emphasized zow not she which sounds weird

There MUST be a way to get that ring off. Aunt Agnes got it off and put it away before she died.

Lmao he was in love w his friend, basically It would be funny but kinda awkward, thanks they changed that detail

I became a fan as soon as I saw the first "official" episode. I first "discovered" SheZow in a New York DAILY NEWS article a few days before the "Hub" premiere. Be that as it may, I'm intrigued that you knew Wayne Harris well enough to be "involved" in the original "pilot". After seeing it, I can see WHY the Disney Channel passed on a weekly series- if you thought there were major objections about the current "SheZow", you would have heard an AVALANCHE of protest, had this version sold...

"no way, Jose may be my best friend" oh my god

I actually kind of wish they kept the "friend in love" aspect deal, it added to the comedy of the entire ordeal. The current SheZow just feels... flavorless. It doesn't have the wit and interaction this pilot has. That's really weird, given the finished product is usually much better than the pilot, when really SheZow now feels like nothing more than a pardody that runs only on being a parody, nothing more.

SheZow=Guy. *Guy Voice* Say waaaa? *Kelly Voice* Go do it girl friend *Josey's Voice* SheZow!!! Who's that beautiful girl,i think I'm in love with her

Huh, I'm not sure, but I think this version has SheZow speaking with a head voice of sorts, whereas in the show, he speaks in falsetto. The pilot seems to indicate a slightly more mature undertone. I think the newer style is cuter, but I can't say I dislike this animation, because it was done really well, and it's not bad,.

That ending where he has to chose which stall XD

Wow, this looks SO different that the one currently on air on the hub.

Who’s that Beautiful girl? I’m think I am love with her. 3:48

lol this version of shezow looks like an old pageant queen

honestly this was funnier than the original

that she slap was funny

No no; I didn't say it was a FUNNY plot point. I said it was a BETTER plot point. There's not really anywhere to go with Maz's one-dimensional character. The romantic attraction, on the other hand, can open up plenty of new stories and character growth for both Guy and Jose, as the romantic attraction between a straight dude and the feminine alter-ego of his straight friend is rife with conflict. And good stories are all about conflict.

I heard he's fifteen HE LOOKS 11

There's a BIG difference in the original design seen here (by Wayne Harris and Andy Underwood), and the one in the series (by Kyla May, Claire Cheok and Paul Tippett).

A actually wood like to see this show on Disney Channel

Dialogue is really good but the art style >.>

Dude looks like a lady LOL!

I never watched SheZow! but I didn't know it was a pilot

No way! i thought the legend of this original pilot was just a myth!

I remember seeing this acouple years ago

this is funny but I like the new version and her out fit is.....ugggg

man this has changed! I'm watching the new one on DVD right now

0:52 😨

Transgender green lantern -the series

hey everyone trans rights yaaay

1:54 "Dude look like a lady"

love this

EPIC! :-)

Lol it would’ve been cool if they made Guy’s friends like SheZow but they probably had to change that for obvious reasons

The character designs are generally just as cute, except for shezow’s costume. Her final design is better

he's so insanely gender ohmegee i love this show, i feel like it had so much wasted potential. i like this art style more, it looks so unique, you don't really get that a lot now unfortunately because indie cartoons get watered down when they get green lit by cartoon network or whatever it may be. i do think i prefer the actual shezow design in the official show more, maybe like a mix of the two would've been ideal. was jose even in the show? i don't remember. it would've been cute if there was a romance between the two, where they both think they're straight but end up falling for each other by accident and then have to go through a journey of accepting that new found part of themselves. the jokes in this show can be really annoying, like it's so overly stereotypical, even though you would think that's what they're trying to challenge, but most of the time we're just meant to go "haha boy is feminine so funny", that's what i mean by wasted potential. it's a great premise but it falls flat in a lot of ways. imo

This is a good anime

Does this feel... Sped up to anyone else? Like i know the pacing has to be faster than the final product cause its a short, but the dialogue itself sounds like its on x2. Idk it just sounds off to me and its distracting. Also i just cannot get behind this animation. the designs are ok, i especially like the tiara, i always thought Shezow would look more complete with a little wonder woman esque tiara. But the way theyre animated just feels, again, *off.* They look too... Wiggley? Like they have no bones and that doesnt work with this style imo. But i do love that one shot of guy shielding jose with his cape, that was so adorable. Kinda wish they kept the subplot of Guy's best friend crushing on shezow for at least the first 2 or 3 episodes. instead of the rushed, anticlimactic reveal we got at the last minute of the very first episode.

That's why Obie Scott Wade had a chance to "refine" the idea over the next five years, Sparrow. THIS version could NEVER be produced today!

Pink SheZow was way bettter!!! I never heard of this kind of SheZow!!

the creator of the loud house was working on this

Shezow looked so gurly in 2007

The original character designs kinda reminds me of Psychnauts

I love the pilot so much, omg

Oh thank goodness they were redesigned

Very amusing.

I like the writing of the pilot better tbh, though I’m used to the official show’s art style

I actually really like the old flash style animation

Oh my gosh I'm so glad they changes it to the other, I love this show but this would have killed any interest I would have had.

3:35 The ultimate bitch slap!

yeah... glad it looks like it does now

I do like the current version a LOT better than this pilot. Kinda neat to see the difference from where it started to now.

This show will forever have the weirdest premise to me. A boy who is named *G U Y* gets a ring that gives him the same powers left by his grandma(who used to be a superhero)but it turns him more feminine. Idk what they were smoking but wow what a premise

He says it again (a bit differently) in the "official" first episode, too.

love shezow

It was supposed to be Disney channel?

Damn he was my friend, thats weird dude

Now he's gay.

5:04 disney?

It's like a family-friendly version of Is This a Zombie?

Supposedly why this version was never produced as a series...

The girls look so much better than the guys in this art style

NONE of the "Shorty McShorts" episodes ever became weekly series on the Disney Channel.

This is the "embryonic" version of what took Obie Scott Wade about five years to "sell" as a weekly series....even Craig McCracken's "POWERPUFF GIRLS" went through three different "pilots" over six years before they became a series.

2 bullies she zow? She zow? Hozey SheZow!

I Like this SheZow much better!

People like to think that seeing only the very technical is what constitutes the actuality of a situation but that's just an illusion. There's a thing called discernment... it allows you to perceive things others miss.
