GG I am at my wits end with trying to fins this. I've email Bobbie Spargo(daughter of Nick Spargo, the original animator of the first series), James Dreyfus(the narrator of season 2) two, what I believe to be, UK based animation studios(?) distributors of it and I cannot find ANYTHING Where is Willo the wisp season 2? I cannot find it for purchase, download, free, bootleg, literally anything. I thought it might be because I am in the US but I asked at least three UK people, including a collector if they know where it is or can be found, even they admit it's basically vanished. I found a user commenting repeatedly the episode list titles(for some reason...) on whatever clips I could find of it. I asked them, no reply I found several people on twitter mentioning it as recently as a year or two ago(claiming to have seen it).
it aired in 2005 on Playhouse disney Uk.
Any help?? I really want to see it! I am such a big fan of the originals.
Thanks Gilby, but I saw the clips I was trying to see if anyone had any episodes. As far as I can tell its basically lost to time. According to a few blogs I came across(one from Bobbie Spargo and one from a reviewer posted in like 2006) they only aired episodes on Playhouse DisneyUK at 2:00 am for three years up until about 2007. So basically nobody seen it. I contacted as many people as I can think of and none of them have gotten back to me. What confuses me even more is I can find random mentions by random commenters either on Twitter or YouTube claiming to have seen it, as recently as 2017. Someone somewhere must have it, least not Bobbie Spargo herself. But she hasn't reply to me:(

Interesting how there appears to be so little information on the 2005 version of the series. If you go on the Wayback Machine, you can see the old site from around the time it was going on. There's a couple different download links. One for the trailer, and I think I saw another one for the pilot on an earlier date. I believe those are already on YouTube, though. I'll link the old site, anyway. I also decided to go check out the site Toonhound to see if I could find anything. It seems that they got a few clips available for download on their site. They're .wmv, but they should work fine. I'll keep looking for more stuff.

Indeed, there's very little information on the second series. From reading around apparently Playhouse Disney UK gave it a 2:00 am run time only so very few people saw it. I tried the way back machine but the website never hosted the episodes so it was pointless. I found one complete episode on studio that helped animate it vimeopro.com/toonzentertainment/2dtradpf/video/35000329 That was all I could find. I contacted that animation studio asking where I could buy it from and who owns the rights but they haven't gotten back to me. :c thanks for the links!
I decided to download the three short teaser clips from Toonhound and upload them on YouTube. One of them is for the episode that's already found, though. Here ya go, if anyone's interested.
I know this post hasn't been updated for half a decade but I still think this is worth mentioning: apparently this DVD set of the 1981 series has the 2005 series as a bonus feature! www.amazon.com.au/Willo-Wisp-Complete-DVD/dp/B0D9MD1VM5
