Cheaper by the Dozen (1996 Pilot Short Film)

Is a 1996 short film and the pilot version of the 2003 movie of the same name. The only difference here is that in this pilot short film, all Baker children are opposite gender to the 2003 film (Except Mark) and there are 2 children who were discarded for the 2003 movie.

Unlike the movie that is live action, this short film is made in plasticine for the characters, although for the stages they used animated rooms to the comic style.

Trivia

 * Currently, it's very difficult to find the short film online, although recently, in Dailymotion it's completely available.
 * In the 2003 film, Mark Baker was the only Baker child not to be changed gender.
