I believe it was indeed made by Universal Animation at the time which would make sense. Maybe the same folks who made shows like Fievel's American Tails?
Also that definitely sounds like Jim Cummings singing!
Edit: Correction, it's actually the intro and final cutscene from the game itself that was never used.

This was actually not meant to be a cartoon series at all. According to David Siller, one of the producers of the original game:
«It was based on ideas for where we were going with this IP at that time. It was probably too ambitious in nature and was also trying to be humorous. It was never used or even embedded in the game as a hidden "easter egg" treat.
Once UIS licensed the game to Sony for publication, Sony did not want it utilized since they were heavily pushing the "3D" agenda.»
The first segment of the video was intended to be used as the game's intro, whereas the second one (with Cortex falling into the ship) was meant to be the game's ending. It wasn't an animated series, and it wasn't a proposed advertisement for the game or anything of the sort. It was meant to be in the game itself. That's all there is to it.
