What is your favorite cancelled animated disney movie and why?

[khlaylav]

I would say Mort, which was supposed to be a traditionally animated movie directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. The official synopsis was: "Mort is a young man who Death whisks away to train as his apprentice. But on his first solo assignment, Mort prevents the assassination of a princess, threatening the flow of history and the fabric of the Discworld."

I just think the concept of Mort sounds very unique and unlike anything, Disney has done before. It might have also had a much appreciated dark edge to it. I feel Disney plays it too safe nowadays. I want more creative risks taken.


I also think the concept art for King of the Elves looked intriguing. But it's easy to build these abandoned projects up in our heads. We don't know how they would have worked out.

Should be noted Mort is based off of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. That was a likely reason why it was never made-it took years for things like Good Omens to be made, and Discworld has never had that kind of big-budget adaptation. Pratchett seemed protective of his series.
