hey look i made that thumbnail :0 nice
PVZ made me here
@@Awesomemay why is there a peashooter from plants vs zombies in the thumbnail yet never in that video have i heard any mention of the PVZ games or anything related to it.
@@Awesomemay Also, PVZ NEVER was gonna have a movie NEVER was it planned.
@@Thomasfan239sucksLOL there was a little segment in there where there was some concept art and stuff
@@Thomasfan239sucksLOL here is the time stamp 6:06
About me and my Shadow -
it was such a good concept. Hearing that it was half-finished means that they could at least put a piece of the film in front of their full length. Then at least some of the work would still be seen.
Yes! Totally! I loved that concept. It sounds like a super funny and fun movie! I'm super sad it got scrapped.
I animated a cat..and a duck
@@flame.6375 ok....
Anyways yeah i we do got some hope :)
Here’s hoping it comes back in the future
I remember the first time they announced Me and My Shadow movie. I was a big fan of Owl City and I was very active with Owl City fans community online where I first heard about this movie. I was excited and hyped because my favorite band Owl City is the one who made all of the soundtracks, the IMDB list already exist. Every weeks and months I checked on the community and google search any information about the movie, any screenshot (7:30 and 7:35 was the two that I can found back then), or maybe a trailer. Until the expected release date getting closer and closer but still no new information appear about the movie. Maybe it got delayed, maybe it will be released a few months later. Few years past, and it just cancelled.
The fact that we live in a universe where poppy playtime gets a movie and not Plants vs Zombies says something about the movie industry
We live in a society where everyday we face the industrial revolution and its consequences.
What makes me even more mad is that the higher-ups at Mob Games (Poppy playtime devs) are absolute A-holes to some of their ex-members.
Dude i needed that PvZ movie wtf
the Poppy Playtime movie might come out as garbage
It got cancelled search up the concept art for it
@@cowicial5674 you talking about the poopy playtime movie? Because thank god
One Disney movie that I wish hadn’t been canceled is “shade makers”. It was going to be a stop-motion film directed by the same guy who directed “Coraline”. I think the plot was about a boy who could manipulate shadows with his fingers or something like that. There is sneak-peak picture that shows him playing with the shadow of a young woman. The movie was like 2-4 years into production but it got canceled because of financial reasons. Really a pity
What is it with animated movies about shadows and getting cancelled?
I think the actual title of the movie was called The Shadow King
I like the sound of that one
Fun fact, Henry Selick has still not given up on this movie, and has all of the rights to pitch it to other studios! There is also a few fully animated scenes on UA-cam if you want to have a look at some of the polished parts of the film :).
@@original_demonic I’m glad to hear that. From the pictures I’ve seen on the internet it looks like a classic even though it hasn’t been released
You forgot the best part of why Wild Life was cancelled. Roy Disney was watching a screening of the movie and got very offended by it (especially a joke about two gay men entering a sewer and then one of them says "have you ever been down a manhole before?"). He then ended the films production.
Wasn't this supposed to be a kid movie??
I'm all for gay represantation but that joke felt a little tasteless
There is another animated film actually titled Wild Life. It's about The animals side of the Robison Crusoe story.
@@joaquingamarra3248 in the video he said it was not gonna be for children.
@@dinonuggies9889 If it was not for children because adult content and mature topic. What studio were they in while the movie on production?
10/10 joke
Fun Fact: the reason why Me and My Shadow was cancelled was because in 2014 DreamWorks's 2 movies called Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Penguins of Madagascar where both release and flop at the box office.
How to train your Dragon two was also released that year
@@Anime_theatre_lover yes, I know but that one was a success
@@Anime_theatre_lover One success can't make up for 2 hard flops
@@tornadojack8170 that's true
That’s why people need to take a bigger look at the picture when it comes to a canceled idea. It’s not like one day they’re just like “let’s just toss this in the trash”, but rather it’s most likely due to a failure of another movie.
The thing that's sad about this is that sometimes companies have no idea what they're doing and start cancelling movies left and right, and then all of the movies that do get released are all trash.
Why say all?
@@jmachero5852 generalization. I meant MOST
I guess they go for the success formula for kids movies.
Yeah :( it's super sad.
yeah, but the movies actually released make BAJILLIONS
I like hearing about scrapped movies. Would be cool if companies had an area where they showed more concept work for the movies :D
You’re not wrong
I bet they mostly forget about that concept work and it ends up thrown away or something like that
@@i.d.9754 concept art is stored in vaults and not usually displayed. although theres museums that display concept art of released movies iirc
Not really. It would be an issue for copyright and other film companies (not looking at china) could just scoop up their ideas and make the film themselves.
Would be cool if there was a movie company that would pick up these scrapped ideas
One scrapped movie that I thought would be fantastic is the original idea for Zootopia. The story was that all predators wore a collar that helps them stay calm or something, and the main character would have been Nick, not Judy. (I can’t remember the idea exactly, I just watched one of the bonus features on the disk) One of the specs for the movie would be a polar and his son. I think at a certain age, the predators will get a collar. So the dad was really sad because his son has to wear the collar. The idea was so good, and I would have definitely watched it.
I mean it's definitly good but I think the message was too on you face.
Don't know if I would've liked it more than the original but I do know I would've missed the original
i would love to see another zootopia movie tbh even if its different characters
They actually started off that way but changed to tell the story Through the Judy's prespective.
While it had great ideas, the reason why the idea was scrapped was the writers realized that no one would want Zootopia saved; the audience would be more inclined to tear it all down. So they changed it to what we have now.
And honestly? It was probably the right call.
@@animeotaku307 I was about to comment the same. I would've hated for Zootopia to be saved if the original take stayed. Its kind of like the original version of Woody from Toy Story.
tbh as an Australian, it kinda upsets me that larrikins was canceled because there are barely any movies out there that are set in Australia (i know their rescuers from down under but it was kinda bad ngl) and bilby's are an amazing animal and should get some more appreciation (especially that they are endangered)
I wish we got Larrikins so bad still. Hoping one day Larrikins and Me and My Shadow gets their voice acting/storyboards leaked like Popeye did 🙏🏼
Well, we got this animated kids show Called “Bluey”, it’s actually pretty good
I really liked the idea of gigantic. It sounded fresh and a good take on an old fairytale, and I liked the idea of the giant and the adventurer bonding, especially with the fact the giant would be a young girl, and the adventurer would be or atleast look like an adult. Most movies with a child and an adult bonding, it’s just a normal “mother/father bonding or understanding a kid that they have known their whole life” But the idea of the plot sounding so unique and charming, I just don’t get why they canceled it :,(
What was even cooler about Me and My Shadow was the blend of 2D/3D animation.
The Spider Verse before Spider Verse
I’m actually kinda glad some of these movies weren’t made. The directors didn’t have any direction for the movie to go and I feel like making it anyways would make the movie feel forced.
Yes. While some movies deserve a chance, They need to reevaluate their humor and satire and all. Their jokes aren't even funny in the slightest
Yeah, I’ve seen my fair share of films that have become steaming piles of crap due to studio interference
Nimona looked pretty cool and is probably the one I wish would come out the most. Hopefully Netflix won’t cancel it. Newt looked interesting too
Also me and my shadow movie
I think it’s unlikely they’ll cancel it since the creator of it also made the very successful She-Ra 2018 reboot. I’m really looking forward to it :)
Netflix actually picked it up. It's in production right now and it's not cancelled anymore
@@coolboss999 that’s a relief
@@yinyangyt8749 Yeah they even released like sneak peeks of the movie on Twitter too I believe
Don't forget, Netflix cancelled a lot of good shows too. Like Season 2 of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and the idea of a comic becoming a series called Bone. Not to mention, Legendary Don Bluth planned to make and show a 2D animated movie of Dragon's Lair, but they cancelled it and planned to have it be live action instead, and starring the man who played Deadpool being Dirk. What is this world coming to?
Netflix cancels everything in order to make more seasons of big mouth
@@AdrianAnimations360 Or to make more shows that could be worse than Big Mouth.
@@dreamguardian8320 name me a show that is worse than big mouth that is on Netflix
Netflix picking up nimona is about the only good thing theyve done in a while but my god it was so well done
There should be a company that buys the failed movie projects rights and turn them into really good movies.
YES!!
Companies usually aren’t willing to sell, and if they do it’s usually *extremely* expensive, but that would be cool
I agree. I imagined that this company would be called "Uncancellers Studios", where they would revive all cancelled movies, shows and video games :)
That company wouldn't last long because of all the legal shenanigans
Me, an aspiring animator: I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED.
WE ALMOST AT 100K WHAT??
omg good job!!
Let’s gooooooooooooo
No we're not 🥱
let’s goo
So cccrazy
A little fun fact for anyone that actually cares:
Sony was supposed to make a sonic movie way before Paramount
I've actually never watched the snippets from that 3D animated Popeye movie but I have heard about it and seen brief clips shown in reviews by other UA-camrs that talked about other movies and referenced it and wow I actually am quite shocked that Popeye movie was never released. the animations looked incredible and knowing that it's being attempted to be made again but this time by dreamworks which don't get me wrong I think DreamWorks is incredible, it's just the animation style that Sony has probably would work better with those characters.
I really hope they make him how he’s supposed to be pipe and all, I love the early one, but kinda disappointed they took a lot of his trademarks away because of the sensitive people and Karen’s today.
"Weren't you killed?"
Nimoma: Sadly yes.
*B U T I L I V E D*
I got so invested in your telling of the movies that I forgot they were scrapped. 😭
haha well im glad i could bring them to life a little
Its still so heartbreaking😭
Yeah same
@@Awesomemay Netflix has been canceling some projects so nimona maybe canceled
@@thekingjoffical725 Nope it didn’t luckily!😅
there was going to be a plants vs zombies movie But it got canceled because Disney or dreamworks I think WHY DREAMWORKS WHYYYYYY THIS MOVIE WILL BE THE BEST There is just so many good movies just get scrap away
They should return to it because there's comics, a card game, 2 first person shooters, 3 tower defense games to get characters or adaptations from.
It wasn't DreamWorks
I’ve been wanting a pvz movie since I was 4 or 5
Ima pretty sad it was canceled
(Ngl the designs look like nightmares though)
The last 2 movies based on mobile apps were horrible, so for me is a win
@@woshee_real 3 shooters actually. But we forgive you for forgetting BFN
*I like it how Newt is just pretty much Rio with lizards*
Newts are amphibians
Larrikins is probably the one that hurts me the most, the snippets we got look so good
The plot you described for “Gigantic”, with a giant keeping a human as a pet, that sounds eerily like the French film Fantastic Planet.
Walt Disney Animation Studios' only cancelled animated feature film:... Gigantic.
Pixar Animation Studios' only cancelled animated feature film:... Newt.
DreamWorks Animation's cancelled animated feature films:... Larrikins,... Monkey Mumbai,... Me and My Shadow,... B.O.O.,.. Spooky Jack,... Madagascar 4.
Blue Sky Studios' cancelled animated feature films:... Foster,... Anubis,... Mutts,... The Frog Kisser,... Dr. Seuss' Horton Hatches the Egg,...and The Iguana Brothers.
Sony Pictures Animation's only cancelled animated feature film:... Popeye.

bro I'm indian
Dreamwprks has multiple studios. Hence their large scrapped list.
Goddamnit, we could've had Nate, Patrice and CRAAAAAZY DAVE on the big screen, but it gets tossed out in favor of Trolls 2. This is why fanmade movies like Return to Zootopia are better than the actual movies, cause they aren't influenced by the big corporations having to judge it's worth.
Hey! Trolls 2 is good!!! Even one of my friends said it’s their favorite film!!
@@Anime_theatre_lover Interesting. i freaking hated that movie but you do you
The one cancelled DreamWorks movie you forgot was B.O.O. (Bureau of Otherworldly Operations)
DazzReviews also made a video about it
This just makes me even more sad that most of these movies were canceled
These are such good ideas that I could easily help write please let us finish these idea you big companies-

It’s sad that Netflix is going to ruin animation for them with so many scrapped animated productions.
Imagine having your project that you have been working on for years to be cancelled so that your company can make a glorified ad movie.
I would love to see Me and my Shadow,It really would've seen the Return of Hand-Drawn Animation.
But it's just really sad to see these Movies ideas go to waste.
10:15 I need to point out to a lot of people
Sony’s Popeye was never canceled for to make the emoji movie, it was canceled because Sony just didn’t like Genndy’s vision for the movie and they wanted it to be more modern and hip for the young kids.
I did some research and found two cancelled ones that you could mention in the sequel:
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 3
there aren’t many plot details but it would’ve possibly focused on the events after the second movie where the inhabitants of Shallow Falls begin their new lives with food.
It was cancelled because Sony straight up gave up the rights after the failure of the 2017 animated series and they were more interested in the Hotel Transylvania and Spider-Man: Spider-Verse franchises.
Lego Superfriends was a planned sequel to The Lego Batman Movie that would have been an installment in The Lego Movie franchise, with Chris McKay returning to direct the film and the script being written by Michael Waldron and Dan Harmon. The film was set for a release this year.
According to director Chris McKay, the sequel would have focused on Batman's relationship with the Justice League, particularly Superman, and the main villains would have been Lex Luthor and OMAC. It was set to be based on the 1973-1985 DC Comics-based animated series Super Friends, as well as loosely based on the 1997 film Boogie Nights.
It was cancelled because Universal Pictures acquired the film rights with Lego in April 2020, which means that all LEGO-fied WB characters, including those from DC Comics, are no longer available as part of Universal's Lego Movie franchise, leading to the sequel's cancellation.
It’s replacement is none other than DC league of super-pets
To be fair, the animated series was really bad.
So sad that the pvz movie never happened. Those redesigns of the plants look so cool!
would have been a really cool movie for sure, maybe itll be picked back up in the future :)
@@Awesomemay where popcap is going, i doubt that will happen
@@Awesomemay I hope so PVZ is my fav game
Same here
It kind of sucks when I hear about certain movies being canceled, especially one of this because the original failed and it had a canceled sequel. But I definitely know that it is hard to write stories. There are many times I have spent many months struggling to make stories. It’s definitely not easy at points. But it’s still sad to see stories that could’ve been great be cancelled
Imagine if they made the wild life. Who else Would love Disney of all making a adult animated movie. Another canceled animated movie was The Goon (by 20 century fox), it was based on a comic book series of the same name about 2 mobsters fighting off super natural creatures
1:29 That Aged Like Fine Wine 👍
In Laura Shigihara's (the PvZ1 composer) PvZ 13th Birthday stream she read a chat comment about the movie idea and she shared how she, George Fan, and Rich Werner went to like a studio of DreamWorks and made our concepts and plannings and stuff for like a day or 2 (or more) but then did also say it never really went through and she has no idea what happened to it.
Laura deserves so much more credit than she gets ngl this makes me so sad
Awesomemay: “Netflix has been on a roll with animated movies.”
Netflix Animation Industry: *Why do I feel like dying all of the sudden?*
At least My Father's Dragon is coming out in a few weeks. It was supposed to come out last year but got pushed back to November 11th of this year.
I would 100% pay for a plants vs zombies film.
I hope the plants, flowers and mushrooms will have voices, too.
We need these movies back
6:38 Dreamworks:
Cool movie idea: 👎
Movie about a baby: 👍
Because DreamWorks prefers to make movies based on books(yes, The Boss Baby is based off a book).
@@vanderquakSP the more you know (I didn’t know this
Actually its a movie about a boss baby
@@vanderquakSPBut did the source material look better than the Boss Baby movie itself?
@@Blablabla20093Well, in the book, the baby only ACTED like it was a boss. Also, the book was about 20 pages long, so it didn’t have that big of a story.
I’d love to see DreamWorks animation do original movies alongside movies based on books as well as movies based on video games and animated TV shows!
I still am incredibly sad that gigantic was cancelled :c as well as the disney faires being cancelled as well
I may be an adult, but those movies are my childhood and i saw that there was a movie planned for the fairies but it the whole disney fairies studio was shut down, so it'll never happen :c

If this movie went full through and Gutierrez did make this movie, I would absolutely see it cause I don’t know anyone else but Book of Life is extremely underrated (well in my opinion) since it’s overshadowed with Coco and hell, I bet a Lego movie by the Book of life creator sounds amazing
I love that film
Honestly a pvz movie would of been a blessing
The Popeye looked creepy, I saw the trailer and the art style looked very weird. Yeah, it looks kinda well made (the CGI was pretty good) but it was strange.

I’d like to bring up another cancelled animated movie called The Legend of Tembo. Basically it’s about an African elephant who gets captured as a calf and transported over to Asia, where he’s made to fight as a war elephant for the Chinese Army. A lot of the story boards have been completed and uploaded to UA-cam detailing most of the plot and, from what I saw, it looks like it could’ve been a great movie.

When he said “Meet the Robinsons” i screeched because that’s been my favorite movie since I was a tiny little gremlin, and there’s a small, very niche community of us who love that movie and we definitely deserved a sequel :,(
A movie with a villain as the MC allows for so much more because they don't need to worry about following any rules, they can just do whatever
Tom kenny voicing popeye feels like an alternate universe for some reason
“How do you guys go along with your day knowing you left these ideas in the dust, but finished Boss Baby and Boss Baby 2?! I don’t get it!” Ikr?

King Features actually but yeah I personally to co-produced and co-distributed with Warner Bros. and Paramount for Popeye animated movie since Warner under Turner currently owns the 1933 to 1957 Popeye cartoons, which was originally released by Paramount.
I've been talking about this for quite a while but I think a fairly decent movie based on a game would be Splatoon (the first game). I mean it would've been interesting in a fun way considering that Splatoon is a fun game and a movie based on it's likes and concept would be a good idea if it's gone to the right hands. Like the 3D animation staying the same to the tv commercials back in 2015, the story being of that of the game but add some differences here and there and giving the characters some depth to their personalities and it be a good film. Or if was in Hollywood's hand it would've flopped and again Just an idea here.
This topic is really interesting. It's sad how many of these people used their time to animate it then in the end it gets scrapped.
1:29 that did not age well
That’s exactly what I thought when we said that
Wrong it did age well
Dude you gotta do some sort of collaboration about this with Saberspark, when talking about canceled movies, he’s definitely the guy to go to because of his passion for movies. It’d be an awesome colab to watch.
I’m just in my room silently raging on why they didn’t do a PVZ movie. Like, why? Could’ve been the best thing for me and the other people who had played it.
was here at 5k so glad you blew up!
the fact that we live in a world where they gave Dragons: The Nine Realms A CHANCE and not PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES
The fact that it showed the goosebumps movie as bad hurt me.
