Why Were These Animated Movies Cancelled??

animated movies take a lot of years to create an average pixar movie can take four to seven years to complete production and half of that time span is just focused on the idea of the movie and you know dang well these scripts are a pain sometimes i've tried to write a 10 minute cartoon before it took me an entire month and then i realized it was bad so think about an hour and a half feature film if a company feels the story just doesn't go anywhere it gets thrown away and is never seen again and sometimes it has to do with creative differences and sometimes funding issues but that being said today i'm going to be explaining a ton of scrapped animated movies what was the plot why did it fail let's go now some of these movies could be picked back up again after i'm recording and we've got an example of this with recently with the movie nimona based off of a popular graphic novel about a shapeshifter named nimona who becomes a sidekick for a villain named lord ballister who determines to overthrow the law kind of a basic plot in my opinion but i really like that the story kind of has a villain as a main character which we don't see often in animated movies megamind did this and it was such a good movie this movie was actually in works with blue sky known for you know ice age horton here's a who the best movie ever rio and this movie was doing good until disney decided yep we don't care for blue sky blue sky is not making us money so instead of helping it we threw out their stuff bye blue sky we're gonna make a bad disney plus special about you and so this movie was kind of at a loss but the animators liked the story so much they continued to pitch it to other studios and we recently got feedback that this movie was actually put back into production with netflix this might actually be a really good decision considering netflix has been kinda on a roll with animated movies it's still really sad this won't be a blue sky movie and blue sky put out such a sad statement no no this makes me so sad okay i'm getting emotional let's move on next up we got cancelled pixar movies which from my research this doesn't happen often every pixar movie that pixar has worked on has came out even if they had some bumps in the road they continued through except there is one movie the most well-known scrapped pixar movie is none other than newt he is literally adorable think about how many t-shirts this guy could have been on think about how many coffee cups facebook moms would have of this fella new was gonna be a romance movie directed by gary reinstrom the plot was the question what happens when the last remaining male and female newts on the planet are forced together by science to save their species and there's a huge pixar plot twist bigger than every other pixar movie they can't stand each other that that's the that's the plot twist that's actually kind of interesting it would have opened a lot of good gags maybe an enemies to lovers plot apparently the movie's idea just wasn't going anywhere and when they gave the idea to pete doctor he said okay but i have a whole new idea instead and then we got the 2015 hit inside out this is just proof everything happens for a reason awesome a isn't this movie kinda like rhea it was later confirmed by pixar that this movie was also scrapped because of rio a movie that has the exact same plot i can take mini ganders to why newt didn't work out i still think it could have been cool if they just like changed the plot and kept the characters but i can just watch rio uh there's actually a big cancelled pixar sequel but it wasn't going to be made by pixar a huge sequel that pixar ended up leaving in the dust was monsters inc 2 lost in scaradise pixar had originally planned to have a whole other studio produce their sequels this company was called circle 7 animation also known as which i'm glad this didn't happen because i feel like that would have been the whole disney dvd sequels all over again and nobody wants that monster zing 2 was all about mike and sully going to the human world to deliver a present to boo that could have actually been cool i've always wondered what boo thought of these monsters when she grew up eventually mike and sully would be trapped in the human world and they would part ways after disagreeing on what to do you know classic soley and mike now if it wasn't for the idea that this movie would be produced by a whole nother studio that kind of sounds pretty interesting but monsters university is a masterpiece though now this segment is about a cancelled lego movie and a lot of other lego films also got cancelled for a reason i'm gonna get into so basically we lost a lot the lego movie was the most unexpected hit in 2014. everybody assumed it was just going to be a big cash grab for lego but it ended up winning a ton of awards and is literally mine and many others all-time favorite movie there was just nothing like it at the time and when warner brothers realized this their eyes lit up in that moment they became mr krabs the rest is over there [Music] and a few years later they dropped the lego batman movie which also became a hit it's almost better than than the lego movie so it was safe to say that lego movies were off to a damn good start but then i guess they got too carried away with the big success that as soon as they came out with a third one they set themselves up for disaster everybody got their taste of pure lego cinema they didn't care for more and because of the flop that were both of these movies warner brothers decided to part ways with lego and that meant that all the lego movies that were in production were done for but universal ended up getting the rights so that's pretty cool a new lego movie that was in production with warner brothers was called the billion brick race which was set to be released in 2019. this movie was going to be a racing movie which was going to have a ton of references to a ton of 80s and 90s cop in action films and the character designs looked really promising we got brody reyes who looked to be a chill dude he might be a chad i'm guessing that he was the main character uh i'm not sure we got jane from the looks of it she does not take any crap and my personal favorite design tough guy it was going to be directed by drew pierce and jason siegel but they ended up leaving to pursue other opportunities and it was reported that this movie was now in the hands of george gutierrez he's most well known for directing the book of life what this guy is a legend but i guess he also ended up leaving the production so i don't know what went wrong with this movie uh so i think it's safe to say that this movie will probably not see the light of day and that makes me really sad okay time for dreamworks cancelled movies i'm really excited for this because i love dreamworks dreamworks has had so many movie ideas associated with them dreamworks actually pitched a movie to a game artist and that was none other than rich werner he was the artist of plants vs zombies but he announced that nothing really came of his pitch but the concept art looks so good as a more recently it looks like dreamworks is taking on more based on books genre instead of you know doing a movie on a game which i think has worked better for them i still think a plants vs zombies movie could have really worked now let's get into original projects that dreamworks has scrapped this was my favorite segment to research because oh my gosh every dreamworks scrapped movie was so genius how do you guys go along with your day knowing that you left these ideas in the dust but finished boss baby and boss baby 2. i just don't get it starting off the most well-known scrap dreamworks movie we got is me and my shadow this one has got to be the most devastating one everybody knows about this movie concept a lot of us including myself found out about this scrapped movie because of daz reviews who did a whole in-depth video about it he's great go watch that video but in short me and my shadow was about a secret world of shadows in their human counterparts i read this on google guys give me a break daniel grubb the main human was with shadow dan who longed for an exciting life but human daniel was too busy with school but when a crime happens in the shadow world it puts both of them in danger and shadow dan takes full bodily control of human daniel it gets confusing i know and then they go on a journey to stop a evil shadow villain we were also gonna get a side story where the nerd meets a quirky girl this movie was apparently halfway done before he got scrapped they had a soundtrack list they had they had bill hader and josh gad on board the voice hey a bank robbery come on let's go come on don't you want to be a hero well i don't know where you're from but here in america we tried to get on the tv so it was really disappointing when nothing more was released there was no movie just a poster and all this other stuff since then it feels like every year we've gotten new snippets of what this movie could have been the next dreamworks movie canceled is the musical movie lyricans lorikins i don't know how to say it here is the plot perry in uptight bilby gets kicked out of his sheltered life of his family barrow after being surrounded by dingoes he finds himself on a musical adventure across the mystical australian outback he is told the secret location of a royal egg and is and is told to not tell anyone but the pelicans on the way to the pelicans he also befriends a kangaroo named red in a cane toad named andrew together they must save the empire from a villainous white-bellied sea eagle named hotspur and that's all i read apparently the cast was gonna consist of hugh jackman margot robbie d bradley baker after four years of the directors working hard on this movie new studio executives decided the movie wasn't creatively working out which like really confuses me because if they were working on this movie for four years something must have been good enough to finish like i'd get it if it was canceled a year into production but four years so the real reason it was cancelled is kind of left a mystery i'm guessing there was some sort of a creative disagreement dreamworks just ended up using some of the assets for their short film bilby and that's it for dreamworks movies all these ideas were phenomenal and i am sad okay this segment i'm really excited cancelled sony films sony picture animations do you guys know them right now sony pictures has also scrapped a few movies that seemed pretty cool as well sony animation is definitely a company that either makes a really good movie or the worst movie you've ever seen they give us a ton of trash boring movies and then occasionally they're like fine we'll release something decent one of the animated movies that was in talks to make with sony was a 3d digitally animated popeye movie it was reported in 2010 that the director of hotel transylvania was also going to direct this movie and i think they got pretty far in production because we were already getting fully rendered animation tests and these snippets looked really promising for apparently just being a test the voice of popeye in this animation test was tom kenny how peculiar [Applause] but the film was going in a direction the director gendy didn't really want and he just ended up leaving the project we got this amazing snippet for the popeye movie and then a few years later they just dropped the emoji movie instead uh we've actually gotten some good news recently that this movie is going to be made just not with sony it's actually going to be a movie made by warner bros and apparently dreamworks so yes there won't be a sony popeye movie but we will still get a popeye movie hotel transpalenia director gendy moved on to a new sony project which was titled can you imagine which was also scrapped so i guess nothing was working for sony in this time frame can you imagine was going to be a journey through a boy's imagination i like it it seems nostalgic there was not a lot of details more than that but we got a ton of concept art and at the bottom of this concept art was the words this movie was never made okay one more sony cancelled movie this one is called kazorn and the unicorn now this one has little to no information except for some really colorful concept art shout out to this dude for like sending me all this the movie was gonna be about this brave man and a unicorn who seek to find a powerful weapon to prove his worth to his true love don't say it don't say it okay now it's time for disney cancelled movies i mean it's disney i could do an hour video about their cancelled movies they scrapped a plane sequel a seven dwarf spin-offs meet the robinsons two planet 2 jungle book 3 how many sequels does disney need to work on a newer disney cancelled project was called gigantic and i am so sad about this one i remember when they had a whole d23 announcement they showed off a ton of concept art they were so confident in this movie working out they even did a zootopia easter egg with all these disney covers and animal fide including gigantic so i was kind of excited for this movie the plot of this movie would continue disney's streak of fairy tale movies this movie would be a take on the classic fairy tale jack and the beanstalk jack climbed the beanstalk until he eventually found big giants above the clouds including a giant girl who treats him like a pet the movie would be a musical themed movie with the frozen songwriters creating the soundtrack for this movie with new projects being made and apparently new directors coming on board this movie just kept getting postponed until eventually disney was like screw it we're done with this movie they didn't really give a proper reason there were rumors that this movie was cancelled because the creators had trouble getting the movie story problem to run for an entire length of a feature film which is definitely another reason why a lot of movies get scrapped i mean you can definitely have a simple story but if it doesn't have enough material to keep it going and still be entertaining by the movie's end then it's best to make it into like a short film or something in the last disney movie scrap i have for you fine lads today is the wildlife emphasis on wild this movie is like illumination sing if sing was raunchy and not for children they have a sexy elephant in wildlife wait a minute did sing copy wildlife it was gonna be a rivalry story in a club everybody's trying to be a star at club wildlife the main moral of this movie would have been about dealing with fame losing a sense of normalcy all while complementing pop culture yeah okay i i think that's the end of this video if you guys want me to do a part two and talk about a ton more cancelled animated movies uh let me know a huge movie i forgot to mention was the cancelled spongebob movie this movie was about spongebob and space cats but the movie was canceled because it was apparently too dark for audiences i'm so confused it's spongebob how dark could it be [Music] you
