If you know your history of animation well, you know that even the biggest study can have false starts. The big studio can publish the development of a new animated film, only for that film to never see the light of day, for one reason or another. For example, Pixar had his own headlines because it was too similar to those of a competitive study, like the time when "Tout" removed, a movie for declaring news, from its schedule In terms of concern, it was too similar to Rio's "Rio" on Blue Sky Studios, as an example. However, sometimes, it's simple as the studio's executive team changes, as when Netflix's planned adaptation of the Redwall Fantasy Series It was sent to the development of hell for changes in the studio's priorities.

Finally, in selected cases, there is an even simpler excuse: if a movie does not go well in the box office, every potentially sequel goes on the path of Dodo.

Such was the fate of the intended monitoring of The animated feature of Disney in 2002 (and massive treasurer flop) "Treasure Planet". It was a bold enough film simply in terms of his concept and scope, but Disney directors were convinced of his prospects-so much that they approved the sequel to direct-video before the film was released. In fact, they went so far as to ensure that some of the cast of the original film will return and join them an excellent actor with an animation voice. To be sure, the adoption of Wilm Dapho in the Disney animation world made perfect sense, and he approached being part of the fact that he almost recorded a dialogue for the "Treasure Planet" sequel ... until Disney gave up completely.

The term behind "Treasure Planet" was simple: what if there was an animated adaptation of iconic Robert Robert Lewis Stevenson "Treasure" with a talent for science? One part of the Treasure Planet story is very similar to the "Treasure Island", even for those members of the audience with just a peaceful sense of awareness of the story of Jimim Hawkins (expressed here by Josephosef Gordon-Levit) and his adventures on a pirate and a greedy and greedy Srebrenic Sreen Adventure. ubilical (EMAMP). As directed by Johnon Musker and Ron Clements, "Treasure Planet" is an ambitious film that was undoubtedly intended to appeal to young guys than Disney's marketing team's girlfriends is that a young male audience was alienated by "Lilo" stories. (Of course, that means you have to ignore the solids return to the box office Animated feature of Disney in 1999 Tarzan As a recent example of when the film was released.)

In Spite of the Presence of Musker & Clements, who has co-directed such Beloved Disney Classics as "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," "Treasure Planet" FAILED TO HIT IT BIG AT THE BOXFIC in the Fall of 2002. Now, Context is key: Though the film was released over the this this waysgiving Holiday weekend (a common time for disney's animated releass to be distributed), its competition was Pretty Intense. Leaving the presence of the film Jameseims Bond "Die another day", "Treasure Planet" had a direct competition for the attention of families of another Disney title, "Santa Claus Clause 2." " But none of those films were frightening as "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which dominated the box office for holidays. So, it may not be too shocking that Treasure Planet, which had a $ 140 million budget, made just $ 109 million worldwide. Even with moderately positive reviews, the film was simply unable to break the noise.

And that is exactly why the planned sequel to the film died at the vine at the same time as the original film was in theaters. According to Jun FalkensteinWho served as the director of the Disney Studios studio "The Tigger Movie" and was ready to launch the Treasure Planet sequel, everything was set before the 2002 holidays. She worked for a general overview of the following, in which Jimim Hawkins studied at the Academy, supervised by Captain Amelia (Thompson) and eventually has to come together with silver to exploit the evil progress of Captain Ironelezard. Members of the teams like Gordon-Levit, Murray and Thompson were on the ship and were set to join them Willem Dafo as Ironbeard. According to Falkenstein, she was ready to record the first round of Dapho's dialogue, on Monday, after opening the Treasure Planet weekend, immediately until Disney's directors received a call to completely cancel the sequel.

It is easy to predict that Treasure Planet fans, which may be Legion, even if the film's box office does not suggest so much, would be disappointed with the loss of the "Treasure Planet" sequel. (It is worth noting that just a few years later, when now-EX-Honcho Johnon Laseter joined Disney as a creative executive, he all described Disney's studio and his sequel to direct-video in full.) But for the fans of the fans of Willem Dafi. About six months after Treasure Planet went down to the box office, Pixar's animated film "Finding Nemo" was released to expose cinema success; Among the huge ensemble of actors was Dafo, expressing Gruff, but a useful aquarium fish Gil, whose bold spirit allows Nemo to avoid the traps of his dentist's office. Dafe has since appeared in several DULL IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE OF MOVIES FROM GHIBLI STUDIOSuch as "Stories from the Earth" and "The Boy and Honon", despite making movement and voice work for his director "Finding Nemo" Andrew Stanton on Disney's "Johnon Carter" in 2012.

However, we came close to having Dafo in the Disney Animation world accordingly. (The interview of Falkenstein implied that he was literally 30 minutes away from his sound recording when he discovered that the film was canceled.) In the meantime, we can only imagine how perfect his voice is appropriate as an unusual pirate. In the early 2000s, there was already enough evidence that Dafo could be incredibly charismatic villain, as when playing Green Goblin in Sam Raimi's first film "Spiderman" earlier in 2002. But as we approached, the sequel to Treasure Planet eventually joined the annals of so many other ideas and titles that almost and never existed completely on the animated basis.
