Trivia[]
- The entire pitch pilot, alongside the first animation test for the show, was leaked in a /co/ thread on 4chan in 2022.[2]
- It was later reuploaded on Vimeo in November of that year, where it was more recognized.[3]
- The pilot for Primos was the first full Disney TVA pilot to be seen by the public by means of an anonymous leak; Previous internal Disney pilots up to that point had only been uploaded directly from an involved personnel (such as Gabe Swarr's Big Shorts Mouse, and both of Jorge R. Gutierrez's pilots), and/or have not been shared in its entirety (like the Gravity Falls pilot after the Cipher Hunt, which cut off at the 12 minute mark).
- The pitch pilot includes the storyboard version of the opening theme which has demo vocals, a longer start, and scenes that vary from the final.
- The opening theme also has an extra line after the rollcall.
- A few of the Primos have different names:
- Nacho is Little Ben
- Lita is Tita
- Tere, Tabi, and Toñita are Lola, Lulu, and Lucita
- LotLot is Huynnie
- Nachito is Benito
- ChaCha is Mija
- Lucita is Cookita
- Lucita would retain her original name for a majority of the series' early production, only being changed around November/December 2023 when every episode had been at least written and storyboarded, by that point.
