Long Gone Gulch is an American animated adventure-fantasy Western comedy short film created, directed, written and produced by Tara Billinger and Zach Bellissimo, based on a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016.

[18] At the time, the goal was to release a pilot episode 8–11 minutes long, creating a western-themed show that wasn't a parody, which would appeal to those who like The Mighty Boosh, Mad Max, Alice in Wonderland, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Wilkes & the Legendary Shack Shakers presented their newest single, a cover of "Rawhide," which mixes animated scenes from the pilot and other public domain footage from Terror of Tiny Town.

In the review of the pilot, he described it as a "real treat for animation fans everywhere," with distinct and unique character designs, is inventive, and has strong visuals, adding that influences of the Mickey Mouse shorts and Rick and Morty can be seen in the series.

Margaret Troup of the Iowa State Daily positively reviewed the pilot, giving it a rating of 8.5/10, calling it a "fast-paced, Western-style slapstick comedy and action," saying that fans and creators of the episode have hoped that a TV production studio would pick up the series like the case with Hazbin Hotel.

[11] She also noted that the series is more family-friendly than Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel, even though some swearing, blood, and cartoon violence makes it "mature enough for older audiences to enjoy in addition to children," and praised the pilot's animation, saying it is akin to Kim Possible and The Powerpuff Girls.
