List of unproduced Disney animated shorts and feature films

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Trivia. Disney movies that were planned but cancelled are of no importance today. Disney movies that changed the storyline, which some of the movie titles in this list are (e.g. Kingdom of the Sun, which became The Emperor's New Groove) should be featured in the production section of the article about the movie they became (e.g. information about Kingdom of the Sun should be in the production section of The Emperor's New Groove.

 * Keep: The article should remain undeleted especially where there are articles about unproduced or unrealized film projects once in development for Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, and Tim Burton. Information about the released canon Disney films that had major story overhauls during production should be deleted, and kept strictly to the film's article, but this should not warrant an entire article's deletion.

 * Keep, with changes The information on unproduced feature films is definitely notable and should all be in once place, but I certainly don't mind if all the info on unproduced shorts was deleted, since I can't think of any rationale for keeping them. That might solve the trivia issue. Luthien22 (talk) 21:50, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: This nomination for deletion of this article seems little strange to me, since Walt Disney was known for halting productions of various project that were in production. If he didn't like script or the plot. Even if the animators worked hard on proposing or comming up with these idea. Walt was hard to please. There have been few books published about these various cancelled projects like "Disney that Never Was" (1995), and most of these unmade storyboards actually exist. Majority of these projects are shorts that would have starred Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy or Pluto which account for about 2/3 of total entries in the article. These four characters are the most notable cartoon characters the Walt Disney Studios created. These shorts would have been created during the golden age of American Animation, which is probably the most noble period in history of american animation. IF Disney hadn't cancelled all of these project his studio's total out closer to ca 700 cartoons form 1928 to 1959 instead of ca 450. The bases for this nomination thus is rather thin. But what the user Luthien22 seems to fail to understands the fact that Walt Disney Studio was built up on a Mouse named Mickey not Snow WHite so if Walt didn't experiment with producing animated shorts prior to 1937 then Walt would never have made Snow White in first place and then there would be no feature animation. He/She probably thinks that Walt Disney Studio has only produced feature animation, or very least what made the Disney name while quite a contrary it were the short most importantly those staring Mickey, then Pluto, Goofy and Donald. Suggesting the deletion of all shorts form the article actually makes this article quite pointless since only pre-1995 features for are properly sited. While most of those "unproduced" shorts in listed in past 20 years, are properly sited with no evidence of actual production begin with out being completed. Thus removing the unproduced shorts form the article is unwise, it makes more sense to do what user Christianster94 suggested. That major feature film story overhul should be deleted, though and I must ad along with uncited unconfiremd rumors DoctorHver (talk) 02:55, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I find this article to be worthy of inclusion. I think a subject like this has some historical importance in the field of film, as Disney is such a well-known animated movie studio. As an example of a similar article, there also exists an article called List of unreleased Warner Bros. animated shorts. --Stan2525 (talk) 10:18, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Maybe not important today, but one never knows. It seems to possess at least some historical importance as noted above.  It is interesting enough and the topic is notable.  I see no reason to delete it. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 07:11, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
