Talk:List of unproduced Disney animated projects/Archive 1

I'm David Gerstein, author/editor of one book cited here...
And wow, this is a mess. Some of the "films" for which information is taken from my Mickey and the Gang aren't really films at all; the projects referenced as films on this page include some comic books and other non-film projects. I wish I had time to clean this up... but I don't!

The Jungle Book 3
Hey, I've just read on tvtropes.org concerning "Franchise Killers", and stumbled upon some information: "Similar to The Rescuers above, originally, there was actually going to be a third film based on The Jungle Book where Baloo and Shere Khan are both captured and sold off of a circus, and as a result Mowgli, Shanti, and Bagheera actually all had to save them both. And over the course of the film, Shere Khan (who went into Knight of Cerebus mode in the second) would have actually regretted his hatred against humanity because of his capture and would have eventually reformed over the course of the film. However, due to the commercial and critical failure of The Jungle Book 2, this film was ultimately scrapped, and Khan's fate at the end of the sequel remained ambiguous."

I'm not sure if it's legitimate or not. Christianster94 (talk) 17 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I found this link at the tvtropes.org page for The Jungle Book. I assume that it would make it at least at tad more legitimate. Grey ghost (talk) 12:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Kingdom of the Sun
Does KOTS belong on this list?? This list is for never-released Disney movies, not working titles of actually-released Disney movies. Any thoughts on creating a list of working titles of Disney animated feature films?? Georgia guy (talk) 22:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Disney's Watership Down!
According to M.D. Smart's review of 1978 film version of Watership Down in Amazon UK: "Disney originally planned to adapt the novel, but although they are unquestionably masters of traditional animation, it's a good job they were replaced." I wonder if it was true that Disney wanted to make their film adaptation of Watership Down novel or not. --Nectaria 13:44, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Title suggestion
Wouldn't "List of unproduced Disney animated shorts and features" be a better title? Technically, something like The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory are unreleased, but almost certainly will be made and released. Trivialist (talk) 23:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Story overhauls
Based on the keep status on the Articles for deletion/List of unproduced Disney animated shorts and feature films discussion page, some users such as myself decided that information about the listed canon Disney animated films that had major story overhauls during production should be deleted from the article since technically, those films were released despite the story changes. Can we reach a general consensus on this? Christianster94 (talk) 03:17, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 19 November 2015
Add this content to respective years, is neccessary. Planes 3 and Tangled 2 have been officially cancelled, and new content from november 2015 of Aladdin 4 (move aladdin 4 from 2005 to 2015).

2014

 * Planes 3' - (recover content, i can't)


 * Tangled 2 - In December 2014, Tangled's producer, Roy Conli, revealed that the production team had been "heavily pushed" for a feature-length sequel to the film, but when the writers and directors got together to develop one, they realized, "she [sic] cut her hair. It’s over!" Conli explained that at Disney Animation under Lasseter, it is always the filmmakers who decide whether they are ready to make a sequel (not marketing or merchandising). In January 2015, Conli again provided a similar explanation when pressed on this point, and also mentioned that directors Greno and Howard ultimately "weren't really interested" in following up on the story.

2015

 * Aladdin 4 - In 2005, screenwriter Robert Reece pitched a fourth Aladdin feature to DisneyToon execs, although it never came to fruition. In November 2015 it was revealed that Walt Disney Animation Studios has been working on a fourth sequel to Aladdin, but at the moment the sequel plans are scrapped and there are no further plans to moving ahead with this project. The will of Robin Williams states that no unused material be used twenty-five years after his death, meaning that there will be no fourth movie before August 11, 2039.
