I'm so glad that _Finding Nemo 2_ was cancelled. The idea of Nemo not being the only child to have survived would've ruined the heartwarming father-and-son bond that was established in the first movie.

[@gojirafan0577]

I feel really bad for Jeff smith (the creator of bone) he kept getting screwed over by every single company that wanted to do a bone project it’s just sad that we may never know what the bone comics would look like in animation but then again we do still have the telltale games based on the bone comics so at least it’s not all bad news

[@NuuuYuu]

Dang. I remember reading the Bone comics in elementary school. Didn't know they were making a game for it.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Isn't the Telltale game ultimately unfinished?

[@Gacha_Got_Arsorned]

I would love to see a modern take on the Medusa story, it's sad that it was cancelled.

[@variant7816]

I just had an idea for the Where's Waldo? movie. It would be a true crime style missing persons case centered around finding Waldo (duh). I imagine the end revealing that this has happened before and there are in fact multiple Waldo's that keep going missing. There are a bunch of clones of Waldo running around because in the distant past a cloning scientists son went missing and in his grief he tried to fill the hole that his son left; but the clones are always destined to go missing, joining his son in the afterlife. It would be about grief, mystery, and the importance of moving on but not forgetting the dead. I think it's too dark but whatever 🤷‍♂️ interesting idea I had

The fact that May was watching Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu in his Netflix makes him an instant Chad! No joke, that show is incredible and deserves more fans.

[@falinksgod3439]

Bro you have no idea how much I agree

[@UFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFL]

Ninjago is loved by everyone, what do you mean it needs more fans

[@TheAnimatorOfOpallyon]

@@UFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFL, there's sadly still people out there that don't even think about watching it just for being a LEGO show, that's why I have to tell them most of the time that the original show writers ended up working in Star Trek because of it.

[@Theflikheads]

Seasin 1 and Season 2 and that one season where the genie fights them will always be the best in my opinion but I've heard that soon they're doing a big reset so it's back to the start just with the new charater models?

[@mephilesfan]

⁠@@Theflikheadsthe new series (dragons rising) is a very soft reboot of the series. the summary is that the realms of ninjago have merged together which creates a completely new setting for the show. the og ninja team is still there but they’re adding new characters (arin + sora) and there’s no real “singular focus ninja” for each season anymore

[@JacksWorldAnimations]

I know everything is cancelled for a reason. But despite that it’s always interesting hearing about things that never came to be

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Universal and WB's break-up is something I can never forgive. All those movies, TV shows, and potential for future seasons *WASTED*

I was so excited for the British animated fantasy film "Magik", starring Benedict Cumberbatch, where a father searches for his children during the London Blitz but ends up in another realm and must defeat a great evil alongside its mystical citizens. Never learned why it was cancelled, and I don't think I've ever heard Cumberbatch mention it, but there's a bit of art online, and it looked really neat.

[@ANDREWanimates_OFFICIAL]

Ironically, a few days ago I was thinking, “A Where’s Waldo? Movie would be a cool idea…” But seriously, it’s actually a really good concept and has a lot of potential. I wonder why they decided to ditch the entire idea of the movie altogether…

[@beavergoat22]

Idk it just sounds like kinda stupid in my opinion, like what would be the plot??? What would happen in the movie?? Most movies are like a hour and a half so what would it be about

[@Roomba10]

@notpurple22 it would be about Waldo’s son trying to find him after he disappears while getting the milk.

[@Dirty_Donuts]

i feel like the bone show would’ve been SO good the books were amazing i loved the style and all of the characters and backgrounds were super unique…but i feel like at the same time the show could’ve either been bad or good, no in between. like they could pick the wrong voice actor and everyone gets mad at that or the story is just changed so much that it has nothing to do with the books. i know you don't want to copy the books but i feel like some movie adaptations end up being too far from the original plot of the books. even with saying that i would probably still watch it. loved the video btw!

I remember once hearing that someone wrote an entire script for a Lego Chima movie (A series I adored as a child) and to this day I still dream of getting it even though the entire Lego Chima franchise died years ago

[@noguy0829]

I’m actually very upset about Bone being cancelled. It was my favorite graphic novel series when I started getting older, and helped me through a tough time I won’t go into, but I am extremely disappointed that it got cancelled. D:

[@RadJack14]

I saw the test animation for Medusa by James Baxter and it is awesome and really shows so much potential. It sucks how we could have gotten a potentially unique look at Medusa.

[@TheAnimatorOfOpallyon]

"Sonic: Wonders of the World" kind of sounds like an educational Disney ride you'd find on EPCOT or somewhere similar. Edit. Sonic was actually at EPCOT in the 90s on a place called Communicore that showed technological innoventions.

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

A live action movie of it exists

[@questionmark3666]

But live action one they have is not that good tho

[@toxicghost58]

The story of Medusa is one of my most favorite Greek myths, and it pains me that a lot of people only know half of the story where she becomes a gorgon, so it would've been really cool for there to be a movie where she's the hero so that people can understand her story a little but more. Who knows, maybe the movie will be rekindled in the future by a different studio like how "Nimona" currently is by Netflix?

[@jackiehouse6019]

Shortly after watching this video, I looked up "Canceled animated movies" out of curiosity. And I found a movie called "American Dog" which looked really good, and it ended up being turned into "Bolt" after being scrapped (I assume anyway). Maybe you could talk about it in your threequel.

[@xanderg.1070]

Speaking of live action, the live action Powerpuff Girls series that was supposed to come out on CW is now cancelled.

[@TelevisionDude]

The "Where's Waldo" movie could be a detective movie about how Waldo suddenly goes missing after his house is destroyed

Over the past month, I’ve begun reading the Bone books and am quickly becoming a fan. I was already sad about the show never coming to be, but now that I’ve read the books, I’m even sadder Seeing projects get cancelled makes me want to start a animation studio where people can get another chance for their projects to come to fruition, and where those looking to start one and whatnot can do so.
