I've always wondered deeply about kingdom of the sun. From what I can tell a lot of the plot points were reused for the final movie which is a better fate than what happened to frozen and american dog.Ever since I learned that The Emperor's New Groove was originally going to be a good movie and it was going to be called Empire of the Sun with musical numbers and a plot that wasn't stupid, I've been longing for it. Not technically canceled since The Emperor's New Groove did happen, but still.
Also still bitter about The King of the Elves and Gigantic.
Yeah it was about the newts about to go extinct and the mani newt found a girl and they had to find more. It was basically a Rio rip-off. But the concept art looked so good!Too bad Pixar never made Newt. I guess it was suppose to be a lot like Rio.
Empire of the Sun is a Stephen Spielberg movie. Kingdom of the Sun is what became The Emperor’s New Groove. Have you seen The Sweatbox, the documentary about the demise of Kingdom of the Sun that Disney has only allowed to be screened a handful of times?Ever since I learned that The Emperor's New Groove was originally going to be a good movie and it was going to be called Empire of the Sun with musical numbers and a plot that wasn't stupid, I've been longing for it.

I heard treasure planet 2 was one of those direct to dvd sequels, which means it probably would have not been very good. I could be wrong though.Treasure Planet 2, if only treasure planet had done better at the box office
In that case, you're probably right, but in the off chance that it wasn't going to be a straight to DVD sequel then it seems like it would've had potentialI heard treasure planet 2 was one of those direct to dvd sequels, which means it probably would have not been very good.

I agree that in the past few decades Mickey has pretty much lost all semblance of an interesting personality. I do think Mickey Mouse deserves his own movie, but I don't think it would be a major draw to theaters as the general public just doesn't seem that interested in Mickey Mouse as a character (they will happily purchase Mouse ears merchandise though).Unfortunately, in the current corporate climate of Disney that strikes me as very risk averse, I don't see them attempting such a project. What a shame. Mickey's become nothing more than a corporate symbol in a lot of people's eyes & a movie could enliven him a little.
Yeah I think Disney dosen't belive the risk is worth it when it comes to a Mickey Mouse feature film. He's the mascot of the company and in Disney's eyes if it's successful there really isn't an upside since he's already popular. Or it flops or is received poorly the just damaged their most well known mascot which could damage the Disney brand as a whole. Personally I'm bummed by that because I think a Mickey film done right could be a hit.I've heard many different concepts regarding a full-length Mickey Mouse film from Disney Animation that all sounded very interesting. There was the one dating back to the 90's I believe that had Basil from The Great Mouse Detective in it as well as Burny Mattinson's Mickey, Donald, & Goofy adventure film. I've always wanted to see the mouse be given the theatrical length movie as there's so much potential to play with. Unfortunately, in the current corporate climate of Disney that strikes me as very risk averse, I don't see them attempting such a project. What a shame.

The only way a Mickey mouse movie gets made in todays world, is if he gets turned into a bumbling idiot and Minnie is the real star. And I just don't think even Disney is that dumb. He's the face of the company and already generates billions in merch sales. So yea, there is no upside.Yeah I think Disney dosen't belive the risk is worth it when it comes to a Mickey Mouse feature film.
