List of Lost "A Little Curious" Segments

This article will list every segment and short from the series "A Little Curious" that has either become lost or currently isn't airing anymore due to its episode being removed from syndication. As such, Repeat and Compilation Show episodes will not be listed. (**Slippery Sticky Mirror** is the one exception due to a deleted scene featured in the episode's premiere short.) Despite all of Season 2 being found in August of 2022, and all footage for **Loud Soft Shake** being found in September 2022, the segments exclusively found, featured, or originating from the removed episodes will still be listed in the article for completion's sake.

## Slippery Sticky Mirror

* **Slippery When Wet** features a deleted scene where Pad and Pencil dance across the hall. While Mr. String tries to stop them, they just slide under him. For years, the only footage of this scene was available in the HBO Family promo intro for Non-HBO Family channels.
	+ Recently, a VHS production copy of the segment has surfaced from Maciek Albrecht, which features the deleted scene in full, albeit without sound effects.
	+ It is unknown if the episode ever made it to air with the deleted scene intact.

## Near Far Swing

An old Wikipedia article cites various segments that could've been part of the episode.

* **Don't Come Too Near** is the only properly known "Near" segment, not counting **Moonbeams Near to Me**. Its plot is currently unknown.
* The short, **Good Night, Bob**, is theorized to originate from this episode, due to the lyrics heavily featuring the topic of "near" (Moonbeams Near to You, and Moonlight Over Me). The segment's suggested original name is "**Moonbeams Near to Me"**.
* **Stand Far, Far Back** is the sequel to **Don't Come Too Near**. Once again, the plot of this segment is unknown.
	+ **Farther Back** is a possible sequel to **Stand Far, Far Back**.
* **Stand Really Far Back** is the final part in this saga. A comment from a user in the A Little Curious Discord server implies that Pencil falls off the table in this short.
* **Feelin' Groovy** is possibly one of three character songs featured in this episode, if not its own standalone segment, akin to **Shoe Business**. It features a cover of the Simon and Garfunkel song "Feelin' Groovy". It has yet to be confirmed otherwise if the song was really featured on the show.
* **Character Songs:** It's likely that **A Little Romance** and/or **Little Cup's Song** were featured in **Near Far Swing**, as they are featured in the intro's "Starring" segment, which exclusively features footage from this episode and **Slippery Sticky Mirror** (the episode produced prior to this one).
* Older revisions of this episode's dedicated page on the now defunct A Little Curious Wiki lists a few more unconfirmed shorts. For obvious reasons (a lot of the shorts listed on the wiki have been confirmed to be nonexistent), these shorts are to be taken with a grain of salt.
	+ Far, Far, Away
	+ Near the Edge

## Loud Soft Shake (Segments Found, Audio Mostly Lost)

* **Ring it Loud** was later featured in **Open Close Ring** as **Ring-A-Ding**. The episode's original title card did not surface until September 2022.
* **Too Loud!** was released online by its animator, Daniel Winer, in 2011, albeit without its title card. It would be later recovered (without audio) in September 2022.
* **Talk Softly** was directed by Maciek Albrecht of Magik Films. In 2022, Albrecht released audio for Talk Softly from a VHS production tape (it lacked the segment's footage as it was sent as reference for Albrecht to animate). The short later surfaced online, without audio, in September 2022.
	+ Interestingly, the final version of the segment uses a different take for Mr. String, where he talks normally instead of whispering (as seen in the VHS production tape).
* **Soft Landing** features Little Cup jumping down the kitchen table, and into a soft laundry basket. For years, the only footage of this segment was available in the original 1999 HBO Family promo. It recently surfaced in full in September 2022, again lacking audio.
* **Shoe Business** quite oddly seems to be a standalone segment, despite heavily focusing on the "Soft Shoe" dance. in this short, Mr. and Mrs. Shoe tell jokes and dance the "Soft Shoe", and the girls eventually join in on the show too. One of the jokes featured in the segment was revealed in a Los Angeles Times magazine. The short's opening can be seen in the show's first 1999 HBO Family Promo.
* **Old Softie** features Doris the Door reminiscing on her childhood on a Flatbush stoop. It notably features a mix of Cel and B&W Live-Action footage of New York, the only appearance of humans in a non-compilation short, and the only known appearance of Doris' mother.
* **Shake Yourself About** has the Shoe Family doing the Hokey Pokey in their patio, though Mary Jane struggles at first. Footage from this short was notably reused in the second season segment, **Games We Like to Play** from **Work Play Skip**.
* **Shake it Up, Baby** features Mop, Little Cup, and the Shoe Family dancing to the song **Twist and Shout**, which Mop sings. This segment features a greenscreened CGI Mop with a noticeably higher framerate (akin to IBC's segments), a PNG of Little Cup being squashed and stretched to represent dancing, and superimposed images of Corey Quackenbush's Shoe Family Stop Motion models (as seen in **Shoe Business** and **Shake Yourself About**). This episode is noticeably rendered in 60fps instead of the series standard 30fps. This segment is notably repeated for **Thick Thin Twist** and **Ring Twist Step** as **Twist and Shout**. This segment is what got this episode, and the previous two mentioned episodes removed from syndication.
	+ Ironically, **Shake it Up, Baby** was the original name for the song **Twist and Shout**.
* **Sleep Softly** features Mop, Bob, and Little Cup getting a list of soft things to take to Soft Slumberland, including pillows, blankets, and of course, Plush! This segment was additionally featured in **The Mop Show** as the episode's closing short, renamed as simply **Slumberland**.
	+ All of the previously mentioned segments have recently surfaced, mostly without audio, by September 2022.
* The segments **Milk Shake**, **Shake Down**, and **Shake it Off** were repeated in **Swing Cover Shake** (all three) and **The Mop Show** (just **Shake it Off**).
