The Duck was a planned live-action/animated hybrid movie that was set to be directed by veteran animator Uli Meyer, who worked on a live-action/animated hybrid movies like Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. He had pitched this for 20th Century Fox and other major studios between 1998 to 2001, and it was going to be a superhero comedy about a real-life duck being transformed into a cartoon one that looked exactly like Donald Duck or Daffy Duck. Even in the original pitch, it resembled either characters as a coincidence but not really. After being turned into a cartoon duck, he decides to become a superhero to save everyone from fear and danger. According to Meyer, he and his crew were excited once Fox successfully picked it up, and they were this close to making it. Despite being greenlit however, the movie did not get made due to lack of a funding, so they pulled the plug on it indefinitely. It was pulled due to the financial failure of Titan A.E., effectively cancelling projects from Fox Animation Studios, including the live-action/animated hybrid The Duck. Of all things, just a proof of concept art (pic related) and two short clips (links down below) for the movie were made.https://youtu.be/33fmbl-vZXM?si=CvtesTcZyuqkpHDWhttps://youtu.be/UJHilBd6HS4?si=Sv_5EfyV6umakW8U

>>150605234I watched the clip, but yeah, that wasn't very impressive. The animation looked decent, but otherwise it's a dime store Space Jam.
>>150605234>those clipswow, it's like Roger Rabbit meets Darkwing Duck meets The Mask without the soul, charm, or wit of any of them.
>>150605234it looks really cool. It's not funny, but it does seem pretty charming. I would've loved it as a kid if it would've been made, but we'll never see it
Tina is a hottie
(1/2)The CG Casper movie was to be directed by Simon Wells, who originally was going to direct the sequel to the live-action 1995 movie, but when Casper 2 was cancelled in July 2000 due to poor reception of the DTV movies and hesitation of its star Christina Ricci, he backed out from that one, and moved on to direct the remake of The Time Machine, released in March 2002.Wells came back to DreamWorks following the indestructible failure of Disney's Mars Needs Moms (and the closure of ImageMovers Digital), and once Harvey Comics' owner Classic Media was purchased by DreamWorks, and rebranded as a newly formed DreamWorks Classics, the studio had plans to make movies and shows based on old properties, with Mr. Peabody and Sherman releasing to theatres on March 14, 2014. Weeks beforehand, they announced a CG Casper movie was in development. Wells was set to write and direct with John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky (writers and producers of King of the Hill and co-creators of Silicon Valley) attached to co-write with. Around that same time, another property from the Harvey line, Hot Stuff the Little Devil, was being developed as a live-action/CG-hybrid movie, with Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux (writers of Bob's Burgers) to pen the script, both were hoping to start a cinematic universe of their own.However by the time Mr. Peabody and Sherman came to theatres, it was a box office bomb, and the studio was already facing its economic downturn of its own by the end of that same year, cancelling projects left and right, including then-upcoming B.O.O., a similar CG supernatural ghost-themed adventure comedy which was already having a troubled production of its own. Both Casper and Hot Stuff movies ended up also being scrapped.
>>150606329(2/2)DreamWorks would continue to use Harvey properties with the show Harvey Street Kids, which ran between 2018 to 2020, and in 2022, Wu Kai-yu (writer of shows like Hannibal and The Flash) was set to develop a live-action/CG-hybrid, but nothing came of it as of 2025.What you're seeing are character designs of Casper for the cancelled movie from concept artist Danny Williams of which he posted in 2023 via his ArtStation. He stated the movie "went nowhere."
>>150605234
>>150605234Here's test footage for their own CG Zelda movie made by Imagi themselves, the same studio that made TMNT. They hoped to get their movie off the ground with Nintendo being involved, but after the dismal performance of Astro Boy at the box office, Imagi cancelled all plans for this movie, as well as other projects they had in development such as Cat's Tale, Tusker (a movie originally made by DreamWorks before that was canned), their adaptation of Gatchaman, and their sequel to TMNT, as the company had shut down. Only both concept art and a demo reel were ever revealed to the public (pic related).inb4 some retard faggot replies to me that I'm Sharktaleanon or whoever the fuck he is, seriously if you call me that all because I posted this shit, I will fucking find you
>>150605424At worst, it looks like Cool World
>>150606405That image was an April Fool's joke ad from Wizard in the late 90s. Cameron was involved with the Spider-Man movie for a while but he never got a full cast down yet.
Steve Oedekerk’s CG Mighty Mouse movie could've been Terrytoons equivalent to Man of Steel
>>150607145>he never got a full cast down yet.He almost did but yea the cast never got confirmed altogether>Leonardo DiCaprio as Peter Parker/Spider-Man>Jim Carrey as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin>Nikki Cox as Mary Jane Watson>Robert Guillaume as Robbie Robertson>Bill Paxton as The Burglar>Michael Douglas as J. Jonah Jameson>Katharine Hepburn as May Parker>Michael Biehn as Boyd/Sandman>Lance Henricksen as Carlton Strand/Electro>Arnold Schwarzenegger as Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus
Shane Acker was originally set to direct a "Man of Steel"-esque "dark and gritty" CG movie reboot of Thomas the Tank Engine. It was in development between 2008 to 2014, and even was set for a tentative 2014 release, before finally being cancelled for good.
>>150606211she's like Jessica Rabbit that's for sure
>>150607157Mouse of murder
>>150605234looks like Roger Rabbit's Day Out.
>>150606329>Christina Ricci backed out of Casper 2never heard this shit from anyone. Why exactly did they need her to make the movie?
>>150606329>writers and producers of King of the Hilloh dear.
>>150606329>we could've had a Hot Stuff movie2000's could've been the Golden Age of CG cartoon movies.
>>150606329sounds like they were going to jettison the dramedy angle anyway and were looking to do more slapstick? That Casper design makes him look a bit too much like a hayseed, but if the King of The Hill guys were doing it I suppose that would've been their comedic style.
>>150607194This would've owned.
ten years ago, Kanye West was repeating a claim that he was 'creative director' for a Jetsons movie. I don't think he was consulting with Leon Joosen though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K5n2T9y7qE>In the 1980's Chevy Chase was signed on to play George Jetson in a Joe Dante directed Jetsons movie.>At one point Jim Carrey and Nicole Kidman were considered to play George and Judy Jetson.I believe after Joe Dante, Rob Minkoff was attached to direct The Jetsons but Paramount still thought it would be too expensive.>I’ve had this cast in my head since the 90s.>George - Jim Carrey >Jane - Molly Shannon >Spacely - Danny Devito >Judy- Alicia Silverstone >Elroy - Haley Joel Osment
>>150605234>that still as fuck camera>the way Tina disconnects from the eye line multiple timesRoger Rabbit truly was a miracle film we'll never get again.
>>150605234Looks bad. And the Jessica Rabbit wannabe is fucking hideous

>>150608916>if the King of The Hill guys were doing it I suppose that would've been their comedic style.that same writing duo had also wrote the script for the cancelled Woody Woodpecker movie for Illumination and the cancelled Gendy Tartakovsky Popeye movie for Sony Animation
>>150607057Imagi also had plans for Gigantor and Power Ranger films. There might actually be some Rangers test footage floating around online.
>>150607157Im only glad this didnt happen because of how ugly the redesign was. I love Mighty Mouse, but it is plain to see this would have come out at the height of that awkward hyper realiatic toon phase in hollywood that remained dominant until the early 2010s. In saying so I reminded myself of the Hong Kong Phooey and Marvin the Martian movies.
>>150609097Carrey as George and Kidman as Jane is pretty inspired casting
>>150612173Paramount is still planning a Mighty Mouse movie, and Ryan Reynolds is going to produce it
>>150612100>it's been a full decade since Genndy Popeye got executed in favor of the emoji movie
>>150612224Every other week Ryan Reynolds is producing something. They said he was going to produce a live action Space Ace movie for Netflix 5 years ago. At the very least there is promotional art for the Underdog reboot. You're never seeing Mighty Mouse comeback. The character's practically damned to obscurity these days.
>>150612240No it hasn't, retard. The Emoji Movie had NOTHING to do with Popeye Movie getting cancelled. Sony's leaks did
>>150612275Wasnt the popeye movie supposed to come out in 2016? >it was the sony leaks faultDoes the timing for that even line up? I thought the leaks came about in 2014.
>>150612275>Popeye was a proposed film that was going to be made by Sony Pictures Animation based on the famous cartoon character Popeye created by E. C. Segar. The film was to be directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (the creator of Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory and writer for The Powerpuff Girls). Its production began in 2010, and it would be released at some point in 2016.shut up you mouthy nigger
>>150612302The Emoji Movie's production was as late as August 2015, months after its director's movie B.O.O was canned by DreamWorks and once he left to Sony Animation. Sony Pictures purchased the Emoji rights to make an animated movie out of it. But nowhere does it have anything to do with Popeye whatsoever. The leaks were made back in December 2014 surrounding the release of the Seth Rogen comedy The Interview when North Korea hacked Sony Pictures' website and emails leaking and detailing information about behind-the-scenes embargo. Any mentioning of The Emoji Movie is nowhere to be found because it was not in production at that time
>All these copy and pasted posts from previous cancelled /co/ projects.>Not a single mention of the mythical De Blob animated series.

>>150605234In 2008 Adam McKay was planning to adapt The Boys with a movie trilogy. Simon Pegg was going to play Hughie while Russel Crowe was eyed for the role of Butcher. According to Garth Ennis the trilogy was going to have the crew at the Farallon Islands.>That effort to do The Boys got as far as a script being written. And it was extraordinary, because the final battle was in the Farallon Islands. Most people don't know where the Farallon Islands are, but I do because I've been there. They're about four hours off the Californian coast. ... It's mostly known for its population of great white sharks. I knew this because I was there hoping to see said sharks. They did not show up. But in the script, the final battle is in the Farallon Islands, and there's not a single shark. And you think, 'Well, you've missed a trick there, pal.'https://collider.com/the-boys-russell-crowe-adam-mckay/https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/the-boys-film-trilogy-adam-mckay-1236046644/https://screenrant.com/boys-movie-trilogy-plans-homelander-change/
>>150612422We only have what we're given, there's dozens of animated projects that got shit canned that'll die of obscurity because no one knows anyone who may have talked about working on it
>>150608861>>150611989yeah no the Hot Stuff movie was actually set to be another live-action/animated hybrid slop. Here's concept art
>>150616182it's why the industry is shit and will always be shit
This is Tusker.It was a project made between 1999-2001 by DreamWorks. It was about to be the third all-CGI movie, under PDI, following Antz and Shrek. It was cancelled in favour of Shrek 2 and Madagascar instead.
>>150616355hi Sharkfag :)
>>150613899Probably not outside of diehard cartoon circles. They definitely tried to bring him back over the years but every effort died during the conceputalization phase. There was supposed to be a Terrytoons series on Nick in the 90s. The pilot never got picked up though.
>>150616072This is the only Star Wars project I could muster any kind of excitement for at this point. I wish they'ed just dump it already.
>>150616223>literally just a shoop of tne Neil Patrick Harris Smurfswe really dont hate hollywood enough
>>150608861Warren Kremer's art was so slick oh my goodness
>>150612422I really enjoy drawing for nothing’s write ups. A lot of the art included is nice and I don’t see it get brought up when lost media is mentioned. Their magazine is still being updated and it’s at over 600 pages (a lot of it is art and reading like roughly 50 pages).https://heyzine.com/flip-book/8f2739d498.html
>>150616670Alot of the Harvey artist's works are outright perfection. I cant think of a single one that doesnt meet that bar.
>>150616418Not only that, but veteran animation historian Jerry Beck was about to revive the Terrytoons name by creating a short for Random! Cartoons on Nicktoons Network featuring the Sidney the Elephant character. But due to issues with copyright, it was instead retooled as Hornswiggle
>>150616449We should. Not gonna lie
>>150605234I don't think it has ever been confirmed, but Yoh Yoshinari allegedly wanted to do a My Life as a Teenage Robot series when he worked at Gainax. If this was true it would have been Nickelodeon's answer to Powerpuff Girls Z. This animation was made by Yoshinari.
>>150616905That would've been awesome really
>>150616434Whatever Disney has done with Star Wars for the past ten years (except for Rogue One which was the only good thing to come out of this shitshow), I can safely say that Detours would've been a fucking godsend in comparison
>>150605234A modern day remake of the live-action/animated Warner Bros. cult classic from 1963 The Incredible Mr. Limpet was originally set to start production between 1998 or 1999 with Jim Carrey to star, Steve Oedekerk to direct and the writing duo of Space Jam to pen the screenplay for a set release date of Summer 2000 (or at the latest 2001). Budget concerns and horrifying CG effects accompanied with bad test reactions led to the cancellation of the project. Brad Bird originally wanted to direct the movie after completing The Iron Giant as Oedekerk's permanent replacement, but terrified what the project looked like, he quickly backed out.Mike Judge (Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill and Office Space) would end up being the director of the movie and also penning the script in addition, and also wanting actors like Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Chris Rock, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, and Adam Sandler to star as the lead role, and had hoped to start production in early-2001, but nothing came of it since. In fact, the almost a whole entire decade, there was radio silence about a Mr. Limpet remake up until Summer 2009, when Kevin Lima announced as director, and on June 2010, he appointed Zach Galifianakis (fresh from The Hangover) as the main star. However on March 2011, Richard Linklater would be involved with the project and was announced as director on January 2014. That same year in July, Jon Hamm, Danny McBride, Sarah Silverman, Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele had entered talks for various roles in the film, but one month later, Linklater left to do his next movie, Everybody Wants Some!!Over a decade later, and there's still no word about a Mr. Limpet remake as it's still in development hell to this very day at the time of posting.Here's test footage of the Oedekerk version from circa 98/99:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahjTClTCdjs
>>150616951Glad this one never happened
>>150616951it looks hideous
>>150616951Mr. Limpet works because Don Knotts had a very weak chin, so he translated well to a fish.Jim Carey has a very strong chin, so he looks horrifying as a fish.
>>150616939There was no point in expanding the story after part VI. Rogue One works because it expands the lore and give some details that are nice aditions to the Star Wars mythos (a shame I can't say the same about Solo).
>>150605234They planned a Johnny Thunder Lego cartoon around 2003, based on the Lego Adventurers series. Ultimately it went nowhere beyond an animation pitch and a brief document, which is strange considering that this was Lego's experimental phase when they tried to branch into all sorts of media like video games, television and movies.https://www.theskonkworks.com/pdf/jt.pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPtORtgvIXw
>>150618210There were also a bunch of unproduced Lego Bionicle movie proposals.One pitched by unspecified studios in the early 2000s about a human kid getting sucked into the Bionicle world. Rejected because Lego wanted no humans in the franchise. The film Mask of Light was made instead.A possible 2005 prequel movie that would have taken place before the second film, which was already a prequel. Scrapped after Lego asked the writers to do a different story and have it be set during the final scenes of second film.An army-themed movie also by an unspecified studio around 2006. Rejected because one of the Bionicle creators, Christian Faber, thought it sounded like a bad imitation of DnD and Lord of the Rings.Lego reconsidered the idea of a theatrical movie after the financial success of 2007's Transformers. They concluded that film was successful because the human characters helped ground the story, and they still wanted to keep humans out of Bionicle.Another movie about Bionicle toys coming to life Toy Story style and interacting with other Lego characters. This too was scrapped but the same studio went on to make The Legend Reborn in 2009. Faber had many criticisms with the amateurish production and made his own edit of the movie that wasn't released.The Legend Reborn's two sequels were scrapped when the franchise got discontinued. An online image slideshow was made instead, narrated by Michael Dorn.Faber claims he was told by people involved with 2014's The Lego Movie that a Bionicle film could also be a possibility but this never went beyond a suggestion.

>>150605234A movie scheduled for a March 2014 release by DreamWorks that was set to be directed by Mark Dindal and was a combination of CG and 2D animation, but was shitcanned by Katzenberg following his reaction in test screenings that he was "bored to death"
>>150606329Good riddance. Nothing of value was lost. The movie from the '90s was the most faithful adaptation to the Casper cartoons and the computer-animated one would have been a disaster
>>150605424This. I get that it's a test, but it doesn't seem like they any any really good gags that would make this stand out as being especially funny, and the 2D integration was really sloppily done, so it doesn't sell itself on the idea that this was going to be a Roger Rabbit-tier spectacle of masterfully acted and staged 3d-2d interaction.
>>150620389>movie from the '90s was the most faithful adaptation>didn't even get the rights to Wendy the Witch to be in it
>>150607194This is bullshit some retards keep reposting for some reason See >>150607145
>>150605234Billion Brick Race was penned by Jason Siegel as part of the Lego Movie universe and the plot of the movie was meant to be similar to that of either the 1965 comedy The Great Race or the 2001 comedy Rat Race, but with an original Lego characters. The movie was already greenlit and was in development, but was quickly cancelled by the time The Lego Movie 2 disappointed expectations at the box office and Warner Bros. would cancel other Lego Movie projects such as the Lego Batman sequel. WB would then lose the Lego name to Universal not long after

>>150622189I think the problem is the issue with how animation "sells" in general, at least for Western studios. In live action you have a wide variety of genres, Drama, Action, Comedy, Horror. But you can't really explore all those pathes with an animated film. I mean you can, but no studio would want to touch it so, instead you're stuck with endless variations on the same quirky sort of adventure. I looked at every one of these and just saw a gimmick

>>150605234Newt was a Pixar movie that was about to followup Brave (which originally was supposed to followup Toy Story 3). Director Gary Rydstrom pitched an idea about two of the last remaining blue-footed newts on Earth, both male and female, who despite disliking each other, are forced together by science to save the species, even though they end up focusing on loving each other than saving science.In fear of not wanting another Antz/Bug's Life situation, production of the movie ended up getting cancelled once Blue Sky was working on Rio, which had a very similar plot, so Pixar ended up moving forward with Cars 2, which sandwiched between Toy Story 3 and Brave, and Rydstrom would soon leave the studio out of frustration. Pixar would eventually retool Newt as Inside Out, which was released in 2015

>>150620345It looked really cool. I wish we've gotten more from it
>>150618210>>150618453>>150620493Holy fuck there were a lot of potentially cool Lego movies we could've gotten. Why do we live in such a shitty timeline?
>>150607057thank god they pulled the plug on that onenever cared for TMNT as a movie anyway so their adaption to Zelda was going to suck anyway
>>150608861>>150616670No matter how much I look at this, I struggle to believe this is real. It feels like a parody comic you'd find in another piece of media.
>>150620389>The movie from the '90s was the most faithful adaptation to the Casper cartoonsIt's not faithful at all, that's precisely WHY it worked. Harvey Casper was born a ghost, he never actually died. Nor did Casper ever have a love interest, even girls like Wendy were never anything more than strictly platonic. He was about as sanitized as you could possibly make a ghost. The 90s movie threw all of that away in favor of something relatively edgier.Hell, the fact that he canonically dies in the movie pissed off Harvey Comics enough for DreamWorks to roll it back with the DTV movies.
>>150632274>The fact that he canonically dies in the movie pissed off Harvey Comics enough for DreamWorks to roll it back with the DTV moviesThat's petty as fuck
>>150632274Yea honestly, the subsequent DTV sequels were so much better. Casper Meets Wendy is still my personal favorite of the bunch
>>150620389Huh... is it just me, or are kids' movies, especially starring kids, not a thing anymore? I can only remember the Dora movie starring a 18yo from the recent years. We used to have plenty of them, both original and comics/cartoons/toylines adaptations.
>>150630151>>150630171>>150630198Hol…lee…shit
>>150632954It still is kinda but they rarely exists by the early 2010s
>>150632274>>150632314It probably has something to do with some specific censorship law distinction that lets them peddle Casper as a "fantasy spirit" to anyone they want, but would give them restrictions if he was a soul of a deceased person.
>>150616834Warren trained Ernie Còlon to the point you couldn't tell them apart.
>>150633065Aww, how nice of him.
>>150632954That Dora movie was garbage
>>150633543Adaptation-wise or as a film?
>>150605234Bump
>>150605234bump
>>150625176Yeah, this 100 percent would've never flown with a mainstream studio. Though that's not to say there wouldn't have been a market for it, around 2005 and over is when mainstream would hit peak edginess.
>>150607057Mid-2000's was the best time for this movie, and indeed for any kind of animated videogame content to come out. I'm still angry that we didn't get a Warcraft CGI animated movie back in 2007.
>>150632314Weirdly enough the death backstory was pretty controversial in general at the time. The film got mixed critical reception because of it, with critics either loving or hating it. Just very strange to look back on, especially with the movie being more universally considered a holiday classic.>>150632995That, and Harvey Comics are notorious cunts in general. They tried to sue Colombia Pictures by claiming they ripped off one of their ghost characters for the Ghostbusters logo. Emphasis on "tried" because it went nowhere.
>>150633726Both
>>150635136>I'm still angry that we didn't get a Warcraft CGI animated movie back in 2007.You know, that alone pissed me off the most. But at least we did get a Halo Legends and a couple animated Resident Evil movies, which were really fucking good, and we did get a short-live Tomb Raider animated anthology series as well which was also good
>>150633065How very generous
>>150635175Back when they were an indie corpo before they were being dormant in 2003. Particularly, Harvey got assmad by Columbia by the Ghostbusters logo assuming that the logo had a ghost that resembled one of the Ghostly trio Fatso. Ironically a decade later, Harvey allowed Amblin and Universal to throw in a brief Ghostbusters in the Casper movie anyway
>>150606329>CG Casper movie>Hot Stuff live-action/CG-hybrid movie>cinematic universeyep dead on arrival
>>150605234Still sad about this even today
Count Duckula and Danger Mouse creator had pitched a Nicktoon back in 1990 that would've aired along with Doug, Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy. However, this was rejected. In fact, this one is forever lost media, and the only clip that has survived is a crow dodging a lightning bolt
Here's a pitch for Gotham High School back in the mid-to-late-2000s. It may have some X-Men Evolution vibes to it, but with Arkham Asylum villain mythos to it, but I dunno, I'm not feeling it with this one personally, especially with them as teenagers, because at least XME worked much better
>>150635862*brief Ghostbusters referencesorry for tiredposting
>>150621294This pic was actually a pitch for a Amazon Prime cartoon which was also declined
>>150605234It looks weak
>>150618453There is at least concept art for the fifth Bionicle movie which looked cool
>>150613715>The final product would have been very different.A cope older than time itself.
>>150625013This stupid sexy gator is reminding me of the concept artwork for a cancelled project based on the Italian story "Big Fish, Little Fish" by Italo Calvino. I think maybe it was going to be by Dreamworks? Maybe a Pixar short? I used to have the art saved but I lost it, and unfortunately the internet has been ruined to the point that searching for anything is ubiquitous as "Big Fish, Little Fish" returns everything and nothing. Does anyone have it or at least know what I'm talking about?
>>150636078was this a real pitch or just some deviant art-esque thing someone was pushing?
>>150637070It is not cope you fucking idiot. Look at Shrek when Chris Farley was still alive. Film productions can go through a lot of revisions. Denying that is just being an obnoxious contrarian.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5qvMdoxGnc
>>150637617and here's the seethe
>>150637488It was real
>>150637663Not that anon, but dude you're the one who's coping and seething all over nothing. You do realize, realistically in stages of production, they go through different revisions
I think people in this thread are forgetting how frequently we see concept art for projects that came to friution and are aghast at how the soul was systematically drained from them between point A and point B.>>150637617case in point
>>150637070>>150637663you sound like a complete spazz
>>150637617>>150638026the stupid part is to assume that making it "different" woud have somehow amounted to "better". If those videos were intended to be proof of concept, I'm not surprised the project was never funded.
>>150621235Looks interesting stylewise, will be spending the whole evening obessing over it at the very least.
>>150625451Their current output is ass both in looks and sound, that chance died years ago.
>>150639102Sad thing is, had it ever been completed in real life, it would've been shit, especially compared to the Shrek we got

>>150606329Most of Simon Wells’ movies are so bad except for Prince of Egypt, and even he was only just the co-director
>>150608916Wasn’t King of the Hill a dramedy as well for the most part?
>>150640867>>150642880>>150642935Interesting. So it seems like there were multiple projects tackling the same story that just never went through?
>>150605234The "New Adventures of Batman" episode "Holiday knights" is an adaptation of the comic book of the same name (also by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini) They animated Harley in underwear just like in the original comic and it was ready to air, But just a few months before the episode was supossed to come out WB changed their mind so they clumsily edited short pants on Harley.These guys claim to know someone who has the original uncensored copy:https://twitter.com/MinddKidzag/status/1383865547259977731the uncensored copy was never used for any DVD or BD release of the show, The BD fixed the animations in some scenes and added stuff, They made Harley's edited shorts looks less shit but they still used the censored version since this is a kid's show still, Over the years people found some of the original animation cels for the uncensored scene (pic related), But still no one has shared the finished animation so far despite it being confirmed to exist
All I know about was the one I wanted to make.RIP my hopes and dreams.
>>150646492Yes
>>150629331One hand, I get the logic here. On the other hand, erasing Cars 2 fron existence would only be a net benefit here.
>>150605234Are there any your favourites cancelled projects that you wish was actually finished and come out in official release?
>>150650389I don't know how the whole movie would've turned out, but I really want to see what Peter would've been like in James Cameron's cancelled movie. I feel like he would've been the most accurate Peter to this day assuming history played out the same besides that movie being made
>>150650389Yes
>>150605234>>150606211
>>150649484In an alternate reality, Cars 2 not existing would've been a godsend, especially seeing what Pixar has become for over the past decade

>>150625002AVIANCHADS LOST THAT DAY
>>150651130Not bad
>>150651524I heard even Katie Rice worked on Harvey Street Kids, and she also pitched her comics Skadie and Camp Weedonwantcha as shows at one point but neither came to fruition
>>150609097>>George - Jim Carrey >>Jane - Molly Shannon >>Spacely - Danny DevitoAlready sounds kino as fuckAnd speaking of, Robert Rodriguez also pitched a live-action Jetsons movie back in the mid/late-00s for WB. The box office failure of 2009's Shorts led the studio to decline his pitch, as he left the studio to make Machete
>>150606329>Hot Stuff movie written by future creators of The Great Northno wonder this got cancelled
bump for interest
>>150637058I think it's more that the proposed 5th movie was partially inspired by that art rather than the art being made for the movie. Brian Ellis made some artwork before he left Lego around 2007, some of which became the basis for later toys and story ideas without his knowledge.

>>150607274There was even a plot for the failed movie leaked long ago>(1/2)>The movie begins with a young boy (named "Johnny") and his father escaping London during the Blitz during World War II. They are evacuated to his father's old home, situated nearby a railway station. While there, Johnny discovers drawings by his father of engines with faces.>One night, Johnny heads down to the station when he is unable to sleep. At the station, he meets Edward, and helps to remove a sign stuck in his wheels. As a thank-you, Edward takes Johnny on a ride through "other-worldly caves and waterfalls" to the Island of Sodor, a fantasy realm run entirely by trains, with no people.>At Tidmouth Sheds, Johnny meets James, Percy and Emily, along with new characters Squeak and Puffing Billy. In the corner of the sheds he finds Thomas, who is sitting disused: "his coal unlit, because he wasn't useful". Johnny relights his fire, bringing Thomas back to life. Thomas mistakes Johnny for his father, who used to travel with them long ago.
>>150657219>(2/2)>Throughout the film, Johnny journeys back and forth between Sodor and his new home. He tells his father about his adventures, however he does not believe him - having forgotten Sodor - until he reunites with Thomas at the end of the movie.>In a big, grimy, industrial city on the other side of Sodor, a gang of diesels - led by Smoke - plots to take over the Island and smelt all of the steam engines. The diesels begin their ambush by derailing the steam engines and shutting down the coaling plants in the mountains of Sodor. With the steam engines unable to stop them, it is up to Thomas and Johnny to stop their takeover.>Thomas and Johnny journey across other parts of the Island, meeting other new characters. These include Bertha, four military boats (two of which are a husband and wife), and three French mine carts which start a resistance against the diesels utilising underground tunnels.>In the climax, there is a relay race across Sodor between the steam and diesel engines. The day is saved by Gordon, who returns after having disappeared during the diesels' takeover. The film ends with a shot of Thomas, Johnny and his father riding into the sunset.

>In July 2007, Avi Arad revealed that a Venom spin-off film was in the works. Sony commissioned Jacob Aaron Estes to pen a script, but it was rejected the following year.>The movie would take place after the events of Spider-Man 3 and see the piece of symbiote that escaped the final fight getting dumped in the californian desert then regenerating back into Topher Grace's Eddie Brock, who would be wracked by guilt over his actions.>The disoriented Eddie stumbles into a diner and meets waitress Honey Horrorwitz, with whom he falls in love after saving her life from a biker gang. Honey becomes determined to clear Eddie's reputation, convincing him to talk to the press and write a biographical book justifying Venom's attack on New York City.>Eddie reveals that the symbiote was seen as an aberration in its homeworld for bonding with its hosts rather than eating them, which prompted its kin to lock it in a crystal pod and eject it into space. He also notes that the symbiote has developed feelings for him and is jealous of Honey.>Eddie and Honey would move into San Francisco, where Venom makes a name of himself a lethal vigilante, while Eddie's career enjoys a resurgence.>The main villain was Cletus Kassady, a failed opera singer turned serial killer who quickly realizes Eddie Brock is Venom. Cletus attempts to blackmail Eddie into writing his biography, getting attacked by an enraged Venom as a result. A piece of the symbiote gets attached to Cletus, who emerges as Carnage and goes on a rampage.>The movie would end with Venom fighting a singing Carnage atop the Golden Gate Bridge. Eddie sacrifices himself to save Honey by fusing himself with Carnage and locking both in Venom's crystal pod.>The script was written with an R rating in mind and didn't feature Spider-Man as a character.
Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar pitched a Superman trilogy before Zack Snyder's Man of Steel was picked up.>As for the DC Universe, the director said he has been in touch with new studio heads James Gunn and Peter Safran (“we’ve been talking”) but no project is currently on the table. Vaughn did confirm that before the previous DC Universe launched with Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” he pitched Warner Bros. on a Superman film trilogy alongside comic book writer Mark Millar.>“Mark and I sat down and plotted out a three film trilogy, pitched it to Warner Bros. before ‘Man of Steel’… we pitched how to do a trilogy of Superman movies and Warners said they weren’t interested,” Vaughn said. “That’s as far as it went.”>Vaughn said his Superman trilogy would’ve harkened back to the tone of Richard Donner’s 1978 “Superman” and included villains such as Lex Luther, Zod and Braniac.>“I think Donner nailed it,” Vaughn said. “‘Wonder Woman’ worked very well because it was basically a Donner/Superman film but reimagined as Wonder Woman. I would’ve done a modern version of Donner. Our big idea was that Krypton doesn’t blow up. It does eventually. The dad was right, but he got his timing wrong. When Superman is grown up, suddenly there’s a mass exodus and all hell breaks loose. That was our main idea.”https://variety.com/2023/film/news/matthew-vaughn-superman-trilogy-failed-star-wars-reboot-luke-1235761824/

In addition to Portman, the producers are Bold Films’ Michel Litvak and Gary Michael Walters, Chris and Shannon Prynoski and Ben Kalina of animation shingle Titmouse, Reich and Rotter, who is also the art director. The executive producers are Lisa Zambri and Jessica Hundley.>“Foxy Trotter” is a motorcycle-riding, rock and roll photographer in the early ’70s on a mission to capture the perfect rock photo. Portman will voice Foxy’s best friend, Ronnie, who is seduced by her archrival Gunter and offered as a sacrifice in Gunter’s evil plan to destroy the universe.>“We are thrilled to launch this inventive, sexy, psychedelic, hilarious, female-oriented animated film with such a glowingly talented star and producer like Natalie Portman,” Litvak said.>“‘Foxy Trotter’ is a wild mix of ‘Barbarella’ meets ‘Sausage Party’ meets ‘Easy Rider,'” Pryonski added.>Bold Films produced and financed “Shot Caller,” “Drive,” and “Whiplash.” The company made the announcement Nov. 2 at the American Film Market. Wild Bunch will handle sales at AFM.

DreamWorks was going to team up with Guillermo del Toro to make the Alma movie based on the 2009 Oscar-nominated short movie of its same name. Sadly nothing came of it, so after 15 to 16 years, we're just going to speculate that this was going to be DreamWorks' response to Coraline or Corpse Bride. Here's the link to the short:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw0uORumRts

>>150605234I am surprised there are at least 3 non-Pixar Toy story 3 treatments.(Some details might be wrong)>Whodunit plot was drafted before Circle 7 was a thing and could have probably been more akin to a 2D animated special (Think of how Stuart Little 3's visuals are completely CGI instead of Life action with CG characters.), writers admit that draft was more of a "we can do this if we wanted to" draft to keep Pixar in line, second version was by completely different writers (Original writers never knew of that version until recently) and was one Circle 7 at least considered making at one point.>Merged Family draft was about Andy's mom marrying Andy's baseball coach and now having to deal with a new father with a daughter who was his age and also had toys, the story would have Zurg as a main member of the gang and have bootleg versions of Mr. Potato head and a Spanish bootleg Buzz Lightyear in Mexico, while the main writer was working he discovered that this draft was to face the Buzz is recalled to Taiwan draft.>The Taiwan draft everyone knew for the longest time, merged family writer said that the reason this draft was chosen was because of marketability, but there could have been a chance that the merged family draft could have been used for a hypothetical Circle 7 Toy Story 4.
>>150605234More like the cuck

However, Boo has moved, which results in Mike and Sulley getting trapped in the human world, so Mike and Sulley go on a mission in the human world to search for Boo and find a way home in time for Mike and Celia's wedding.>Years later, Pixar started production on a prequel film to Monsters, Inc. entitled Monsters University. Although it's been theorized/rumoured that Monsters, Inc.: Lost in Scaradise was reworked into Monsters University, this however, was not the case.>Finding Nemo 2>Not to be confused with Pixar's 2016 sequel film Finding Dory, Nemo 2 would've focused on Nemo reuniting with his long-lost twin brother "Remy." Marlin (Nemo and Remy's father) then gets captured and sent to the aquarium "PLANET BLUE," so Nemo, Dory and Remy have to go and rescue him. Unlike Circle Seven's other planned films, no concept art for Finding Nemo 2 has surfaced, and it's unclear if any were made.

>>150657304Yeah, this design is rough. Banjo's whole thing is being colorful, cartoonish and cheery, but this has the mid-to-late 2000's curse of lacking all of that. Like, why replace his bright yellow shorts with camo? Why add a bunch of extra pockets that's only going to make it harder to animate? He literally has a backpack for that! It's so dumb.As much as I would've loved a BK cartoon as a kid, I can see why it fell through. It probably could work now though, since media is no longer beholden to that gritty aesthetic.
>>150653366My main issue with this kind of show is that the concept flies at odd's with John K's style. It's clearly made for little girls, but I can't see that audience resonating with his more grotesque expressions.Then again, if "As Told By Ginger" can have that audience despite being butt-ugly, maybe this could've as well.
>>150661535The whole reason why the Viva Pinata cartoon worked much better was, while it was bright and flashy, it was actually the whole point of it just like the game itself (plus the show was comedy gold). I feared that having that same aesthetic would not have that same energy going forward with the Banjo-Kazooie show back in 2008, even if the games were already intended to be lively, cheerful, whimsical, nutjobby and colorful. But yea, I hope now would be the right time to do so. They can literally just go nuts with these characters and have fun
lost bump
>>150661713Fair enough; I forgot how close Viva Pinata was to that, and that was one of my favorite cartoons of the era. Now that I think about it, I wonder if Nuts and Bolts also had something to do with the design as a way to tie into it?
>>150632274Ngl Casper talking about how he died was kind of a defining moment for my childhood, but not in a way that scared and traumatized me. It was sad but hearing a kid talk describe him dying from a seemingly mundane way was a little humbling and educating moment for me. Too bad his owners didn't like it.
>>150661615>>150653366Given what we know about Jhon K...Jesus.......
>>150661615Klasky Csupo was just "stylized funny ugly" for their shows, although As told by Ginger did make the characters look quite weird and maybe went a bit more then usual, take it with a grain of salt but apparently they did went with Csupo because during early development the direction of the show was that they made the characters too beautiful and cute to the point of feeling Loliesque and that weirded out the execs, so they went with the KC style instead.But this, even the ads were very weird despite not having any of the R&S type of humor, but Adult Party Cartoon was still recent enough, you can have cute or attractive or pleasent art styles in stories that can be dark, out there or even fucked up, to some extent, but I don't think you could do the opposite, having a grotesque and freaky style for something meant to be more wholesome and innocent and take it straight lace, it's like making a Precure style Magical Girl series with the art style of Suehiro Maruo, the god of Gorn.
>>150662038It probably got lost
>>150662536If we "knew", he'd be in jail. All we actually know is that he's into teen girls and which straight man isn't.
>>150659059We actually got some details about it. It would've centered around Batman's relationship with the JL, with Lex Luthor and OMAC as the main villains.
>>150636032What is this?
>>150662038
>>150663265A cancelled Disney movie called My Peeps or A Few Good Ghosts
>>150662565>Adult Party Cartoon was still recent enoughwell as recent as over 20+ years agothe 2000s feel like a different time
>>150653418>Normal Words But a Flintstones Guy
>>150657532Sounds like something Ralph Bakshi would’ve made.
>>150664028Maybe in the '70s or early-'80s in his peak years
>>150663866what is she pointing at again?
>>150662121Come to think of it, maybe the Banjo-Kazooie would have worked in that same exact style. Again, the games were colorful and flashy, and they would work well in cartoon form. Plus, having the characters in CGI form would work, given that by that point, computers were used to these squash-and-stretch aesthetics. So maybe they could use these models from Nuts and Bolts for the show. Y'know, so the show would just promote the game at the time of its release
>>150653323a TV show would've worked better than movie form
>>150652953We are interested too.
>>150663866It was a different time

>>150664199Weezer?
>>150605234Uli Meyer also animated a cancelled Little Beauty King for Fox Animation>>150607157Oedekerk also worked on aforementioned Little Beauty KingThat project would've been a "fractured fairy tale" that was to predate Shrek by parodying pretty much every classic public domain fairy tale, tall tale or nursery rhyme, especially those from Disney
There was a Blues Brothers animated series from Universal in the works before it quickly got canned. Supposedly, future Billy & Mandy creator Maxwell Atoms worked on it for a while
>>150654779based retard
>>150662038let's keep it going
>>150666892Maxwell Adams feels like the perfect person for such a concept. I could ilsee it leaning towards Johnny Bravo type humor.
>>150661311>Merged Family draft was about Andy's mom marrying Andy's baseball coach and now having to deal with a new father with a daughter who was his age and also had toysThat is so bizarre. Also makes me realize just how little Andy and his family actually matters in Toy Story. He exists as a plot point for the toys and an audience stand in, but otherwise is a void.
>>150666825There is Weezer lost media too
>>150664199Limp Bizkit>>150669655Save it for /mu/
>>150606329now I know why they did nothing with Casper
>>150670493>muno
>>150672178It's ok, I don't even browse over there
>>150666892>>150668500Judging from comedy-based cartoons like Police Academy and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, I don't think this was a big loss. Maybe some cute girl designs aside.

>>150657509>‘Foxy Trotter’ is a wild mix of ‘Barbarella’ meets ‘Sausage Party’ meets ‘Easy Rider,'”That sounds rancid, holy fuck.
>>150653564>we got that godawful Skylanders show instead of thisPAIN.
>>150652389Camp Weedonwantcha would've been perfect as a Nick show. Definitely better than that godawful spongebob spinoff that recently got canceled.

>>150653418Speaking of Seth MacFarlane, he planned on co-creating and executive producing for Fox another animated show with Alex Borsteinhttps://www.themarysue.com/alex-borstein-animated-series/Of course, the network rejected it for more Family Guy. Seth already moved on to American Dad, Cleveland Show, The Orville, his Ted movies, his music career, his acting career and even hosting the Oscars after no longer wanting to deal with the network's bullshit
>>150605234A third Planes movie was going to be made but was shelved after its second movie failed at the box office. This one was going to be about an evil space shuttle. They hoped to release it in theatres in some time, but eventually it was cancelled after Disney closed down the DisneyToon studio
>>150670493I hate /mu/, it's a slow board with no interesting threads.
>>150670493Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
>>150677931
>>150625451Nah, anywhere from the early 2000's to 2010's would've been the best time for something like that to come out cuz that's the time when they were the most popular.They're hollow shells at this point and Albarn and Hewlett give zero shits about story.Most we're ever gonna get are those G-Bitez from Phase 1.
>>150670493>>150677931>>150678742CHYEAH!
>>150676809Seth needs to fuck his sister already
No new cases?
>>150677085Planes was released in theaters?! I thought it was just a Direct to DVD spinoff like those Disney sequels.
>>150636187What even was the last thing Don Bluth worked on, Titan AE?If there's anything done for the Dragon's Lair movie I hope it'll get leaked at his death in 2 years
>>150681304Anon who copypastes in these threads got out of posts
>>150682066Kek idblt
>>150676778interesting
>>150681899I saw the trailer and of course, like every shitty movie, it gas Don't bring me down by ELO.
>>150684752You don’t like ELO or just that song?
>>150681304What new cases?
>>150681899It was, and it made so much money that there was indeed a sequel
>>150682020>What even was the last thing Don Bluth worked on, Titan AE?Kinda. He did do "some" work after, regardless how colossal of a failure Titan A.E. was. In 2004, he worked on a music video for Scissor Sisters single, called "Mary"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThYOmxGgXzwHe also made a short film in 2009, called "Gift of the Hoopoe," and just as recent as last year, he made a children's book, "Yuki, Star of the Sea"
>>150686672Idk
>>150605234>Cancelled/unfinished /co/ projectsHow often does that happen?
>>150666868I always see this cancelled Movie being also a parody of the Don Bluth, some of 90's Warner Brothers, Pre-Shrek DreamWorks (as the Prince character in this image looks like he's partly a parody of The Prince of Egypt) and FOX's own animated movies (as the Princess character looks and feels partly a parody of Anastasia while the Prince's animal sidekick looks and feels partly a parody of Bartok) than a parody of Disney Renaissance movies as they described it to be.
>>150666868She looks similar to the girl from that one moviefone advert, it's uncanny. https://youtu.be/NzDt4WZxtxI
>>150690311A lot
>>150690815I think in general, they were going to just parody all 2D animated movies, and not just Disney animated movies (especially the ones from the Renaissance era), but every other animation studio that's just trying to ape the success of the Disney Renaissance, such as (like you've mentioned) Don Bluth, WB, Universal, DreamWorks (pre-Shrek), and even Fox themselves
>>150691634Wow
>>150676803>a french kino that never was
Source: https://lostmediawiki.com/Bone_(lost_production_material_of_cancelled_film_adaptations_of_Jeff_Smith_comic_series;_1998-2000;_2008-2016)>"In August 1998, Jeff Smith signed a deal with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies to produce an animated adaptation of Bone.">"The story would've followed the Bone Cousins ending up in the valley, where they would meet Thorn and Grand'ma Ben. Smith pitched the story to be very simple, but with an open ending that could potentially lead to more sequels for the future.">However, Nickelodeon wanted to change the ending and make the film more kid-friendly. Most notably, they wanted the Bones to be played by children, and for Fone Bone to have "Magic Gloves". They also wanted to shift more focus on the character Thorn, and even debated focusing the movie on her instead.[4] There were also talks of pop songs by NSYNC and Britney Spears to be featured in the films soundtrack, which was quickly turned down by Smith.[4] The executive meddling caused Smith to walk out of the film, resulting in production being cancelled in August of 2000"He then set the production to Warner Bros. in 2008, but never came to fruition. He pitched it to Netflix in 2017, but again it never came to fruition. So no, we'll never get an animated Bone movie adaptation. Never ever. Why do we even live?
>>150640992>>150640998don't forget he was a dick to his people he treatedbut at least he was very talented unlike Chris
>>150693256As long as braindead execs exist, Bone will unadaptable. Same with Calvin and Hobbes
The infamous failed pilot cartoon adaptations of Saint Seiya and Sailor Moon
>>150693460>Calvin and Hobbesthat also hurts. There was gonna be animated TV special, show, and even movie, all were gonna be produced by Spielberg, plus a bunch of prototypes for potential merch. I heard that Charlie Adler was gonna voice as Hobbes and Tress McNeille was to voice as Susie, Calvin's mom and Ms. Wormwood, but it was difficult to find Calvin's VA. Sad we'll never see an actual adaptation of C&H in any way
>>150693519Those were found
>>150693460Good
>>150690311You have no idea. There are so many projects that never get made. The ones we know about are merely the tip of the iceberg. Most remain unknown due to NDA shit or never getting far from just a few spoken words in a board meeting.
>>150685814I like the song, i just find the movies it's used in to be obnoxious.
>>150693199>Sylvain’s newest animated film got a muted receptionWhat happened to his career?
>>150693609Hasn't Bill Watterson refused to OK any adaptation of his work?
>>150694221Ok
>>150693460Calvin and Hobbes can never be adapted because the idea of giving Calvin an actual voice is already a bridge too far.
>>150694221I think Mr. Bluesky is more overrated
>>150693609A 90s Spielberg cartoon was the best possible shot for a C&H. Now there's just not enough talent or hand drawn studios that could do it justice.
