TypeSeriesTitleDescription
FilmOriginal projectThe Tortoise and the HareIntended to be based on Aesop's fable and directed by Richard Goleszowski,[89] The Tortoise and the Hare was put on hold two years later because of script issues.[90]
FilmThe TwitsCrood AwakeningThe film was announced in May 2005, under the working title Crood Awakening,[91] originally a stop motion film, being made by Aardman Animations[92] as a part of a "five film deal" with DreamWorks Animation. John Cleese and Kirk DeMicco had been working together on a feature based on Roald Dahl's story The Twits,[93] a project that never went into production. It was later released as DreamWorks Animation's The Croods.
FilmOriginal projectThe Cat BurglarsAn animated heist action-adventure black comedy film directed by Steve Box and Darren Walsh, about six cat burglars that steal milk, and their plans to pull off 'the great milk float robbery' before some humans neuter them.[94] The project was revived as a Netflix CGI original by June 2022.[95]
FilmOriginal projectThe Scarecrow and his ServantAn adaptation of a children's novel by Philip Pullman, first published in 2004. It tells the story of a scarecrow who comes alive after being struck by lightning and sets out on a quest with Jack, an orphan he hires as his servant. As he goes on his quest he tries to reach Spring Valley to claim it for his own. He has many troubles along the way such as a bird who ate his brain and being on a deserted island.[citation needed]
FilmOriginal projectThe AbominablesA film adaptation of Eva Ibbotson's book The Abominables was quickly shelved and eventually canceled.[96]
FilmThe Pirates!Sequels to The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!By August 2011, Aardman Animations had been already working on a sequel idea for The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!,[97] and by June 2012, a story had been prepared, awaiting Sony to back the project.[98] Eventually, Sony decided not to support the project due to insufficient international earnings. According to director Peter Lord, "it got close, but not quite close enough. I was all fired up for doing more. It was such fun to do! We actually have a poster for The Pirates! In an Adventure with Cowboys!. That would have been just great".[99]
