Id love to see a lot of these cancelled DreamWorks animation projects get un-cancelled and resurrected for the 2020s and beyond!
- B. O. O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations
- Monkeys of Mumbai (a fully-realized movie for the 2020s)
- Larrikins (a fully realized movie for the 2020s)
- Spooky Jack (a PG-rated horror comedy)
- Matinence (based on the comics)
- Truckers (an adaptation of Terry Pratchetts gnome trilogy)
- Gils All Fright Diner
- Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians
- Interworld
- Grumblewicks
- Punk Farm
- The Wanderer (perfect for a CGI animated movie in the 2020s)
- Tusker (a perfect movie for the 2020s)
- Lidsville

Id definitely love to see Disney adapt more comic books into animated movies as well as adapt video games into animated movies as well! Theres plenty of video games for Disney to adapt into animated movies with stories and elements taken from the games! Theres so much potential for animated movie adaptations of video games!
- Prince of Persia (a good animated movie based on the Prince of Persia video games)
- Okami
- a Kingdom Hearts movie franchise (as a partnership with Square Enix)
- any video game for Disney to adapt into an animated movie

wasn't Antz basically A Bug's Life rip-off
also Rise of the Guardians's disappointing box office numbers was supposedly due to its release date soon after Hurricane Sandy hence the misfortune of Sandy
. but to be brutally honest I got bored af when I watched it with my sister at the movies, and the build-up I kept feeling went nowhere.
I don't think The Tibet Code would've succeeded no matter who was in the company bureaucracy, given how the Communist Party of China is overly sensitive towards Tibet in an ultra-nationalist right-wing manner

People need to stop saying Spooky Jack is cancelled. Its not cancelled. Its just probably in production hell. Itll probably get announced this year that Spooky Jack is still happening. It just wont have a release date yet. If you dont believe me, look at the Minecraft movie. Everyone assume that was cancelled when it got pulled from its 2022 release date. And yet in 2022, it was announced that it was still happening. If it was cancelled, it wouldve been announced by Jason Blum himself back in 2021.

With the success of the bad guys and puss in boots; the last wish any indication, of potentially more films that show us a stylistic approach to animation then I think that 2d/3d animation blending are not entirely dead. I think that the ideas for the Sinbad film or the road to El dorado weren't bad they were just place at the wrong time since around that time period most films were doing cg styling. Hopefully things will be bright for DreamWorks's future

I remember when B. O. O. was announced via Wikipedia, but I didn't know it was cancelled. I really would have loved to see this movie!
And what if DreamWorks did an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Chu the Panda? What if the story evolved into a love story between Chu and the merpanda from his third book? I think Chu's Day At The Beach is the best. I really would like to see -- or SEA -- a sneezing merpanda.

All of these sounded very interesting especially the musical ones since Im a huge musical fan myself, the sequel ones, and the book adaptation ones. Lol
However Ms Mojo made one mistake.
DreamWorks didnt make three 2D animated films before moving onto CGI they made four!
Ms Mojo forgot about Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron!
That one is my favorite DreamWorks movie so how dare they! XD

It sad will never see this or other canceled Dreamworks projects come to light. They had just a lot more creativity and original ideas than Disney or Pixar did. Whats worse that despite making about 35 movies, the ones are widely known is Shrek, Dragons, Kung fu panda, Trolls, and Madagascar. Im hope they bring back me and my shadow. That one is the most interesting.

For my opinion the worst series that shouldn't be developing by DreamWorks and Universal Entertainment is Camp Cretaceous, because that are people who aren't fan and doesn't like the series, the most terrible scenes they saw was Sammy and Yasmina relationship's. Then the rotten of tomatos and audience score from seasons 1, 2 and 3 could be had bad quality.

Rise of the guardians is one of those non sequel films that definitely have the most potential for a sequel Me and my shadow sounds interesting and so does Imaginary friends I do like live action/animated hybrids wonder if that where that Boss baby episode got the idea with the whole rebel imaginary friend thing

I really hate Jeffrey Katzenberg, hes not a good animation executive! He said hand drawn animation was obsolete when Spirit and Sinbad bombed! Also B. O. O. was cancelled because they didnt want to be ripping off Monsters Inc, it was similar to Pixar cancelling Newt which was similar to Blue Skys Rio!

No disrespect to Alec Baldwin, but I would have watched any/all of these movies instead of Boss Baby. ( I watched it once and was surprised it got a sequel AND a show. I didn't even bother to watch them out of curiosity)

Thank you for pointing out how much Dreamworks keeps cancelling their movies! Its partially do to new management cancelling past projects but they should be more cautious in announcing new thing with their record.

That sucks that DreamWorks arent considering a sequel for Rise of the Guardians. Despite the Box Office the movie is still good with audience and the sequel could make more money for them.

I wish Me and My Shadow got made. If Dreamworks doesn't make the film some other company should. As with other scrapped films that haven't gotten a chance.
Thanks to anyone who reads this.
