Top 10 Cancelled Disney Projects We Never Got to See 

Mort. Discworld would have been a great fit for Pixar imho.

good thanks

Gigantic is the one I wanted to see most.

Top 5 new video for Pattycake productions

@@bighand1530 how

That is one of the main reasons I was interested in Gigantic. Looked different.

I agree. There are some some movies that are just meant to be left alone.

@@Cinderella72291 I can more or less agree

I agree. While the live-actions have their own "uniqueness," there are a LOT of shelved projects that could be done. One such film got turned into "Rock-a-Doodle" and Disney missed out on The Swan Princess.

There are two (and ONLY two) classic Disney films I think would be great with a live action remake: Hercules (aka Heracles) and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. I used to think there were three classic films... but seeing how bad they screwed up Mulan, I now have reservations that they'd do a good job with any.

Indeed, Newt's plot is very similar to Rio and it looks a lot like The Princess and the Frog.

John Lasseter actually confirmed that in an interview. Rio was so similar right down to the main characters even having a distinct blue color that Pixar was worried that if they released it people would think it was a ripoff of Rio even though Newt was is production well before Rio hit theaters.

@@DukeSkylocker I remember him saying that. Not only that but Newt was one of the Circle 7 animation movies. Basically if anyone doesn’t know Pixar was it’s own studio and wasn’t originally owned by Disney so the two made movies partnered but as separate companies. So Disney and Pixar ended their partnership, Disney formed Circle 7 animation studios to make sequels to the movies they made partnered with Pixar. Newt was one of the movies Circle 7 was working on, but when Disney bought Pixar officially making Pixar into Disney Pixar a studio that was owned by Disney, Circle 7 animation was shut down and alot of their projects were reworked or cancelled such as Monsters Inc Lost in Scaradise, the original Toy Story 3 with Buzz being recalled and sent to a factory in Thailand, and Newt. Rio ended up being the nail in the coffin for Newt cause after that movie came out they gave up on Newt.

@@DukeSkylocker given with how similar the plot of Rio is to Newt it makes me wonder if one of the writers of Rio knew somebody who was working on Newt that was giving them information about it’s plot so Blue Sky could beat them to the punch even though Newt was in production before Rio was and was at a slow rate

@@tommydevito4105 To be fair, you didn't even need insider information to know the plot of Newt. I remember seeing a Wikipedia article about it all the way back in 2008. That's the thing about movies. They take so long to make that it's easy for another studio to hear about that idea and make their own film with that since you can't copy an idea. That's why you'll have a year with 2 "kidnapping the president" movies (White House Down/Olympus has Fallen) or 2 movies about a comet hurtling towards Earth (Deep Impact/Armageddon) It's even worse for animation because they take longer to make and have so much riding on them that you can't just make them quickly and in secret. DreamWorks and Disney over the years have release multiple films in close proximity of each other with similar settings (Antz/A Bug's Life, The Road to Elderado/The Emperor's New Groove, Shark Tale/Finding Nemo, Madagascar/The Wild, etc). Early on, John Lasseter went on a pretty public attack against DreamWorks for releasing Antz right before A Bug's Life, accusing them of theft. However, as he became the face of Pixar he realized that this wasn't a good look for him, so he adopted the kindly uncle persona in the vein of Walt Disney, hence him dismissing the Newt/Rio comparisons as "great minds think alike."

Took Frozen decades. But it finally got a movie made. And that movie is gonna be a decade old later this year too

I hope not.

@@dreamguardian8320 The movie seems to have quite a demand.

@@bighand1530 Let's hope it helps for Gigantic to return.

@@dreamguardian8320 Yeah

just popping in to say that the el dorado wasn’t the main reason, overall the script had too many elements and wasn’t cohesive enough to those who screened it. there’s actually a banned documentary of the making of it called “the sweatbox” :)

@@charliej4ne ...banned???

Movie I wanted to see second most on this list

And since that one after all those years of waiting ended up as the highest grossing animated film ever at the time, imagine what it would be like for the companies if they do return to one of these abandoned projects.

Tell me about it.

I would like to a Disney about Giants!

@@megalon73 That would be interesting.

Me too ☹

@@BethGoth15 I hear ya

And they are seen as the biggest company too when it comes to animated movies.

They should've stuck to animation rather than live-action.

Warner Bros has canceled Batgirl movie August 2022.

Me too😢

@@TheIntern18 Wow

@@dreamguardian8320 I hear ya

I hope they revie Gigantic the most.

King of the Elves looked amazing. I bet it would of cost a lot to make compared to the others.

@@dreamguardian8320 Same here.

Hello dear friend, I pray you are having a great day over there...

Yeah!!!🤑

Me too

Same here.

Indeed, and seeing how the man responsible for shelving the project is no longer with Disney, they should revive it, although I may not want it since it could end up being redone with CGI.

Take a number that looks like it would’ve been great

And it's all thanks to Michael Lassetter.

@@jeremyriley1238 Yeah, that so BS from him!

@@jeremyriley1238 you mean john

The search for Mickey mouse sounds awesome! I wonder why it got scrapped

maybe they used the idea for Kingdom Hearts instead?

@@phAntasyluvr_04 maybe

@@alicebthegachaweirdo8378 I’ll say.

I want all of those to be made by this decade.

Particularly Gigantic

Hello dear friend, I pray you are having a great day over there...

Yeah. It would be about Japanese folktales with some modern age struggles.

I like the old Japanese story of the samurai that comes out of a peach. That would make a really fun animated movie.

@@rachele3334 The Momotaro story does sound interesting.

Same

Agreed.

@@nathansullivan8472 Yeah!

To this day, they’re still planning and cancelling projects :/ you wouldn’t know unless you’re up to date on pre production and planning. They were planning to do Snow White and Rose Red (not the same as snow white and the seven dwarves) but they cancelled it >_> I was so excited too. It’s because Pixar is so far up Disney’s ass and now Disney is full of that and marvel and Star Wars that Disney only gets ONE movie out every other year that’s original

Tell me about it

@@bighand1530 You can say that again.

@@andreasmeelie1889 Took me a while to realize that.

If the movies had high demand now that we know about them (like a petition) the company will move forward in releasing it if the numbers were high enough. The consumers don't know how much power they have getting stuff made. Fans are too inconsistent with action, and too fluent in complaining.

Disney could never capture the humor of the book, they wouldn't even try.

I remember seeing the concept art for that, it looked so cute.

I for one wish they had not given up on hand drawn animation, for it's the true magic of Disney in my opinion.

@@dreamguardian8320 I heard Gigantic was gonna use both if i’m not mistaken.

They really should try to get back to their old animation style.

@@marthagilbert3459 Agreed.

That's not a good idea. Netflix is becoming corrupt and tyrannical too, with all the cancellations their doing.

Same here!

Mine too.

Same

So was I.

Agreed

Yea, I agree

@@alicebthegachaweirdo8378 Cool

I agree.

Not suprised that one was your favourite 😉

@@the_one_who_is_many Mine is the one where Inma is looking for Jack in the cornfield.

Mines probably the one where he’s hanging from her hair in the clouds

@@the_one_who_is_many Inma looks like she is just causal talking a walk while Jack is just dangling there.

I wanted to see Gigantic too😢

I can more or less relate to this

Those are my top two as well

Hello dear friend, I pray you are having a great day over there...

Better than nothing I guess

@@bighand1530 You said it

@@samuelcollantes1175 Thanks

Main one I wanted to see is Gigantic.

@@bighand1530 Same here.

@@dreamguardian8320 Can’t blame ya

It’s a breath of fresh air from the looks of things.

That’s why they cancelled Newt.

@@bighand1530 they did that to avoid a bug's life vs antz fiasco

That is one the main things that makes Gigantic being cancelled all the more.

It was one of the Disney movies I wanted to see most for sure.

@@bighand1530 Mine too.

@@dreamguardian8320 Looked like a big stand out(no pun intended)compared to the other stuff Disney has been cranking out. And speaking of which, Inma herself would have been 60 feet tall had it became a reality.

True

Hello dear friend, I pray you are having a great day over there...

Hope you are enjoying your day Uhh Linda

Yes

I saw that scene too, and I thought for sure Gigantic would definitely come out. But now I fear they will cut that scene out one day, now that Gigantic is cancelled.

I certainly think it would have been both a gigantic hit(no pun intended) at the box office and have quite a following too.
