We're back again with another CANCELLED movie. And this time, with the most popular animation studio - Pixar! And they've got a pretty good track record. Cancelled Pixar movies are rare. But they did make ONE official cancellation in the form of a little movie called Newt. Let's hear all there is to know about it...

...Strange to think there is just ONE official cancelled Pixar movie. And it clearly was a late cancelling since elements of it's production lingered in other Pixar movies. I wonder how well it would have been received...

Ah yes! Disney’s “Rio”
FUCK I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
Damn you Disney buying studios and changing things
That was my first thought after I herd “2 blue footed”
Blue sky studios rio
It sure is!
Wait, why does this story sound familiar? Oh yeah, Rio
Ironic how Disney owned Pixar but they cancelled Newt, only for Disney to buy out 20th Century Fox- i mean, Studios!
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING-
I was thinking the same!
That's what I was thinking
I was about to say
I was actually really excited for this back in the day. The timing was absolutely unfortunate for Pixar because of Rio. I can't complain, Rio was decent enough, but still.
Rio was pretty crap tbh
@@Enraged. I mean looking back on it, yeah.
I would have rathered seeing Newt myself even to this day.
@@shivasthong4924 Oh don't get me wrong I would have much rather seen Newt as well.
@@Enraged. As a Rio enjoyer, this is unfounded slander.
To think this was the ONLY cancelled movie, every single other pixar movie with troubled development came out in some for or another. But this, the ONLY ONE? Wow.
This isn’t the only Pixar movie to be cancelled.
The big ones that come to mind are 1906, a live-action film in production with Warner Bros. and Disney Pictures that would be about the San Francisco Earthquake and was to be directed by Brad Bird. There were also two stop/motion films that were being developed by Henry Selick (Coraline) after being fired by Laika. The films would be The Shadow King and The Graveyard. Also before Pixar was bought by Steve Jobs, it was developing a film called Monkey which was cancelled due to technology.
The Good Dinosaur and Brave: Pathetic.
Pixar tends to be so thorough with their art direction that anything that might cause them to cancel a movie can have a solution found quickly
There was a Pixar movie called GIGANTIC which got cancelled
@@skapaloka222 Or they cancel it early on.
I still remember that fanfiction where Newt tried to end Blue because it was Rio's fault that he was never able to save his species, due to the Newt movie's cancellations. Those were indeed strange days.
wow
Link, please!
Why does that sound actually interesting
Should have made that movie! Haha
@@cortster12 💀
Blue sky: HAH! we took newt from y'all!
Disney: HAH! we bought you out just to kill your studio and make money off your movies on Disney+
You guys are so funny
Why I hate Disney:
How the turntables.
Haha, truer words could not have been said
Revenge in its purest form
Pixar: "We cancelled Newt cause it was too much like Rio"
Also Pixar: "Hey let's release Coco shortly after someone else releases Book of Life"
Lmfaooo
Oh the book of life was way older than Coco. It just came on Disney+ around the same time as Coco. :3
@@EnnDraws only by 3 years
Yo just because they both center around The Day of the Dead doesn’t mean they’re at all even that similar. It’s like saying Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Christmas Vacation are the same movie because they both center around Christmas
@@KellyAnimalLover And despite their similarities Newt and Rio wouldn't have been the same movie, that's the point
You forgot the one in Zootopia, the guy selling pirate DVDs is selling one of Newt

Zootopia isn’t Pixar

@@leviagain9219 that sounds like a nice step
Finally someone talking about this movie. I only heard of and heard directly once about this movie, and it kinda made me confused for how much effort they put in the movie. Pixar literally easter egged it in some other movies but still didn't go along with the film cause of Rio's similar plot.
Edit: I didn't realize Blue Sky made Rio alone cause I thought Pixar was in on Rio as well. Thank you to the comment who corrected me
Wait really
@@juzoinui4627 Yea parts and elements are thrown from Newt into Rio, specifically the "save your species" vibe.
@@tecknowledjee6933 they weren't "thrown in" they were both in production at the same time at different companies
@@Jojozilla426 k well regardless they stopped production on newt and put out Rio instead
@@tecknowledjee6933 Pixar stopped the production of newt so blue sky could put out Rio....right
As said in the video Rio was slightly ahead in production and the films had similar premises, it's never explicitly stated but they probably stopped production to stop comparisons being made, not to allow a rival company to put out their own movie.
Newt's plot was probably stolen by Disney insiders, which happened a lot, basically, people from one company will work with another in an attempt to steal good plots for upcoming films and make that movie before they can. Movie plots are more heavily guarded, with details regarding the film being left ambiguous up until release
Thansk for the advice for my game that will probaly never exist
@@skellybird8697 as a wannabe developer, I have never related to something so hard
@Fury Fury It ended up being a damn good movie too.
@Fury Fury I know the concept of frnemies isn't new and I'm all for adapting on ideas, I'm just saying this could be a case of plot theft which happens quite commonly and the director of rio did make the movie he wanted, a movie set in in
Brazil, doesn't mean the plot wasn't stolen
@Fury Fury and I did enjoy Rio
How was this canceled and the Good Dinosaur wasn't?
Edit: I know that Rio may be part of the reason Newt was canceled, but you don't have to reply about it, yes, I did watch the video, no, I am not at all interested in what you have to say about Rio for the four millionth time.
Excellent question
Reminds me of when the Popeye movie was cancelled for the Emoji movie tbh
@@acrohasatablespoon1408 please don’t remind me about that “movie” with the emojis, I’m scarred from seeing that
@@cosmicrobus7679 Same
@@cosmicrobus7679 I was oblivious to how bad it was for years. Then I finally realized it was a hour long ad.
Despite it’s similarities to Rio, even down to the colour blue. I would still have loved to see this movie far more than “the good dinosaur” that was by far the worst movie i have ever seen.
Yeah, The Good Dinosaur is just one of those films that always gives me a little bit of doubt for upcoming Pixar movies.
And while I understand that Cars 2 is considered the worst Pixar film, I can't say I completely disagree. It had a ridiculous plot that felt more like a Mater's Tall Tales episode stretched far too long, but it was still laughably absurd. I thought of it as one of those "so bad it's good films", personally.
As for The Good Dinosaur, I hated the fact that it was pretty derivative to Lion King and the world building on humanizing dinosaurs was unclear at best (why are all raptors criminals or T-Rex's cowboys?) But, the part that aggravated me the most was how the story is too "paint by numbers" predictable with an EXTREMELY weak payoff, and it didn't help that Arlo has one of the worst cases of "main character invincibility" I've ever seen (seriously, how did he survive the flood, but not his dad who is three times taller?!!)
For Newt and Rio, I don't necessarily hate either idea, I just find them simultaneously underwhelming. I just thought both just went through the motions of a typical kids film with a subpar story. I understand if you like Rio or dislike Rio. I just wasn't invested is all, personally.
@@SpencerPEvans well all raptors being crimninals kinda makes senes as raptor means theif tho rex cowboys makes no senes cus rex means king .
@@SpencerPEvans i actually liked cars two. not a lot but, probably more than most.
@@SpencerPEvans Cars 2 is the only animated movie I watched just for the action scenes. I was expecting good action and a good story in The Good Dinosaur, and I got neither. :(
@@SpencerPEvans I mentioned elsewhere, the only thing that film had going for it was how pretty it was. And i mean the scenery, not the dinosaurs. They were awful in design.
Should've had this instead of Good Dinosaur. That movie was so boring. Even though this movie seemed like a Rio ripoff, it could have been good
Rio came out after this movie was pitched but ok
@@mischiefthecat53 key word: "seemed". im pretty sure the person was jus saying that because Rio was scheduled to come out before Newt's original release date, as stated in the video
Fun fact: Instead of blue macaws, the birds were instead going to be penguins but that was changed due to Happy Feet and Surf's Up.
I loved The Good Dinosaur, I don't really understand why everyone hates it
@@kittykittybangbang9367 glad to see another peep did some extra research on this sadly cancelled film
Man you should talk about Disney cancelled movies starting with Gigantic.
I was really looking forward to Gigantic. It sounded really cute.
I was excited about A Few Good Ghosts/My Peoples, myself. Just the proof of concept alone looks so nice...
Wait, since when did they cancel “Gigantic”?
It’s only now that I’m getting that reference in Zootopia
@@dankenstin8803 yeah, or at least is what l know. A movie set in spain (my country) could have been great.
"Another film you've seen in cinemas despite not intending to"
Probably that 25-minute Olaf thing before "Coco".
Hgejakansjana I remember that
BRUHH I REMEMBER THAT
I could be wrong but I believe those "rats" might be shrews because the babies are forming a chain with their tails. The eggs look like they might be stylized newt/frog eggs not sure if they could be side characters or maybe a flashback for the protags.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe kind of a reference to the Taming of the Shrew story.
Yes, shrews. That's a shrew conga line, they do it to bring there babies too the forest.
I feel like this movie would be in the same situation as coco and book of life , people thought they would be similar cause of the story but both ended up being totally different, i can see this happening with rio

that was so cool
@Gid's World Steve Jobs had nothing to do with Microsoft or Disney. Steve Jobs created Apple and was eventually kicked out in the 1980s. Then he bought Pixar. He funded Pixar and was the CEO until 2006 where he sold the company to Disney and became the largest shareholder in Disney.

Being familiar with Errol Flynn myself, I can’t help but feel a bit sad when others don’t recognize him or his films. But I guess that’s history for you - what was once well-known gradually becomes forgotten. Makes me wonder where all our modern media will be within the span of fifty years, let alone a century.
I'm with you. Shocking that the narrator didn't recognize Errol Flynn, and more to the point, realize that the reference for the female newt was likely to his historic athleticism and swashbuckling films. To say someone is like Errol Flynn MEANS something, and something highly complimentary at that. Such a shame.
I was just going to make the same comment. Sad to hear his wicked, wicked ways have faded from the culture.
I really like the sound of this movie though, I think a coffee machine has been blocking the final frame for me too.
Oh no, even Dabney Coleman, the original sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot is all but forgotten.
It break me, errol is forgotten
It almost scares me. The internet and all this stuff is so new!!
What will happen in the future, and there's nothing to go on from the past. What will become of all this stuff?
DNA: so how many heads do you want?
somedusa syndrome: yes
2-headed snakes happens naturally, it wouldn't need to be an experiment. They just don't tend to survive when born in the wild.
I've known of this movie, but not of the plot synopsis. I think it would need a pretty substantial focus shift in story to have been successful. I don't think the resemblance to other specific movies of the time are as damning as just sounding like very standard, very trodden ground without a special flair outside of pixar-level visuals to it to set it apart. Because that didn't do a damn thing for the experience of watching The Good Dinosaur.
oh yes, Chernobyl snakes /j
Pixar in 1998: “Let’s release A Bug’s Life when Dreamworks released Antz a month earlier!”
Pixar during Newt: “oh no blue sky released rio we can’t create this movie now”
I remember the math teacher told the class that this movie was a upcoming Pixar movie and we were all hyped and never heard a thing since.
The good dinosaur “newt” is a skink, a type of lizard, also doesn’t animal crossing have an axolotl? I’ve seen hellbenders before and they looked like that salamander character.
I have the same type,five lined skink. Juveniles have blue tails and lose them as they age.
Just because the stories of Newt and Rio are very similar I still feel it would be possible to make them different enough that it would still be worth telling, especially with that classic Pixar storytelling and can you IMAGINE the visuals 😍😍
Well it was just an urban myth in the first place. Inside Out which Pete Doctor thought was better was the real reason for there being no Newt.
I wish they’d revive this project. It sounds amazing.
just watch rio
There is a movie called Rio
Rio doesn't have pixar level animation
@@kingkong9892 as it’s own thing, rio is okay
@@dacstudios1168 Rio is fine, but it's the same "Ice Age" sort of personality for its animal characters.
Ah yes, Tangled. My favorite Pixar movie...
Lol I just came into the comment section to see if anyone else was bothered by that
Thank you. This was bugging me, and now I don't feel alone. 😊
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT.
I was hoping someone else caught that too
Honestly, being princesses is the only thing that mostly separates modern Disney and Pixar, how did he get it wrong? I mean no big deal but how
i have an idea for newt, a simple story of a blue footed newt who embarks on an adventure to find another blue footed newt, he has an axolotl pal who goes along with him on the adventure she would probably be a little more free spirited then him though, as he wants to stay on mission and she wants to enjoy the places they go, to create a dynamic that he will overcome to be able to enjoy life. the story would consist of finding love where you are, with adventuring across a forest and city scape, and threats from all sorts, no mating ritual or scientists.
The “Rats” are shrews and the “Hellbender” from animal crossing is a axolotl
And the prehistoric newt is a blue tailed skink
Are people commenting that Newt sounded similar to Rio before seeing the rest of the vid? It seems like that's probably the reason why it got shelved :o
Newt could've just rewritten the plot and become a different film.
Exactly
I am surprised I didn't see this or maybe I missed it in video/comments, but the coffee pot hiding the last step of the mating ritual seems to be pretty strong for shadowing that either newt or both salamanders would die at the end of the mating ritual. Similar to how salmon die after mating. It would have been really interesting to see how that realization was solved in a Disney movie.
and how octopuses die after laying eggs.
@@Frogboyaidan Actually octopi don't die from the egg-laying - the mother octopus stays with the eggs after laying them to guard and protect them, brushing fresh water over them and keeping them safe. Then she dies of starvation and the eggs hatch
Octopi are hardcore
@@caitlinobrien273 yes that's what I mean. I know they don't actually die from laying eggs the female dies from starvation .
That would be pretty dark for a kids movie. I think the last picture would be something like the female responding and laying eggs.

The history and mythology buff within me just died a bit
yes its more like a hydra
It's good to cry once in a while.

If they released this movie now I don't think it would have gone very far anyways. It's a cliche and already done plot (COUGH COUGH RIO) and people would harshly criticize it as a rip off of that movie to no end. I'm also not a fan of the plot anyways. Another forced love interest story about a nerd and jock character archetype going on misadventures that lead them to the truth of whatever they got themselves into. Predictable, unoriginal, and stale at this point. Doesn't seem like they were going to do anything to spice it up either besides the eye catching art style.
You literally sound like every movie reviewer that complains about movies being too cliche or predictable because they have nothing else to criticize it for. Not saying you are like them, that’s just what you reminded me of.
Agreed. The guy being a nerd and the girl being a jock is a very eye-rolling trope that gets more annoying the longer it persists.
Nowadays we call it girlboss/male wife dynamic
you could replace like literally 6 words in this comment and it would be both directed at Rio, and also somehow more accurate than it is currently.

Fun fact,
I actually saw a clip in a show about vets in Florida (I forgot the show name but all I know is that the vet in the show was located in Florida) and in one episode an owner had a pet snake who was born with two heads (it’s kinda like conjoined twins in people which is extremely rare) that is similar to the snake in the image and assuming like that snake I mentioned a minute ago it’s 100 percent functional which like the snake in that episode both heads are functional and had its own heart and some organs so basically this snake is most likely a conjoined twin snake! :)
Everyone says the storyline sounds like Rio, but even the characters match the description. Blue, sheltered.
I'm pretty sure those "rats/moles" are shrews.
This isn't the only one. In a featurette on the "Planes" dvd, Mr. Lasseter mentioned that they were actually working on a "Trains" movie. It was abandoned for Planes apparently.
Thomas the tank x Pixar, when?
Yeah I can imagine why that one was cancelled...

You should review the book of life. It’s a great movie.
I know I'm the outlier here, but I really didn't liked it. This is just my personal opinion, and I'd genuinely love to hear why you appreciate it!
@@SpencerPEvans as someone who loves the movie (to be honest I honestly prefer it over coco, don’t get me wrong I love coco but something about Book of Life was more interesting to me than Coco) and I think the reason why I personally adore it is because I love the dynamic between Zebalba (apologies if I misspelled his name but the god who sees people as bad) and La Muerte and plus honestly gotta admit that the backgrounds used for both underworlds (particularly the land of the remembered aka the land where people who died and remembered goes to) are really gorgeous where as with Coco (in my own opinion) although I do think the land of the remembered for that film is gorgeous as well (I really do love the flower petal idea) but the problem with coco is that Disney never credited the woman that the character coco was based on which made me like it less cause of it.
Sorry for the ramble but that’s my thoughts! :)
I loved it :) but I'll respect others opinions
@@SpencerPEvans I personally like it because I'm very nostalgic for it and used to watch it every day when I was younger, but now I like it for the dynamic between the goat guy and the candle lady, the unquie visuals, and the themes it touches on like animal abuse, forgiveness and love & hate. I was listening to the song where the main character apogizes to all the bulls his family has killed over the years because I had part of the lyrics stuck in my head and wanted to see if the song was any good, and it was. The honesty of the song, all the bits against the pointless mistreatment of animals, and the plea for forgiveness saying that "if you can forgive, love will truly live" really touched my heart. I wish we had more films with themes about forgiveness, because it's a very important part of life and if we can't forgive each other for being human and thus imperfect, how are we meant to love one another? We'd be constantly resentful and angry at the slightest wrong things. Also I know most people really love Coco and think it's great and I'm happy for them, but it just didn't click with me. If you like it, then that's great! I just don't like it as much as the majority.
@@SpencerPEvans mostly I really liked it as a kid and it just felt a little cheap seeing coco. So I rose up and defended it a lot. The animation and music is great and I love the character development. I’m not gonna right another essay down here though because these two have said it well enough.
I guess there's not enough info to go into it but the relation to Rio was so brief for what I think has to go deeper. They are _way_ too similar to be coincidence, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the reason they dropped the project because the idea had been stolen and was set to be released way earlier than Newt thus Newt ended up in development hell as they tried to rework it. That's real crappy... But it is only speculation.
Dude I remember being so hyped for this movie as a middle schooler when you'd look on the pixar wikipedia page and that table at the bottom would show films slated for multiple years in the future!!!! I read about Up, The Bear and the Bow which turned into Brave, Toy Story 3, and of course Newt never happened. I felt like such an insider knowing anything about them though!
I haven't spent like 2 seconds looking into more than that really other than the premise and that it got cancelled
Well, Pixar also canceled the original Toy Story 2, which an employee saved, who was later fired, and Monsters, Inc's sequel.
Glad Dazz made this, next the other 20 DreamWorks and Disney cancelled movies. I’d love videos on B.O.O., Monkeys of Mumbai, Larrikins, Gigantic, My Peoples, Fantasia 2000, etc.

Title: The Only Cancelled Pixar Movie…..
Cancelled Toy Story 3 & others: *AM I A JOKE TO U*
They werent Pixar, they were Circle 7 cancelled projects
@@eagc7 oh ok I get it now
its like "Rio" and "Rango" merged into one film
this reminds me of Rio heavily
Yeeeesss I am really happy that you are talking about this!!!
I stopped at 6:05, there are many times humans thought that animals went extinct, only to be "found" later. One was a stable food source for a local human population, just never recorded.
So gathering from the next scene, as the mc learns that being in a cage isn't everything, and meeting communities, the scientists get the romance bug as they search for their rare main characters and find that they were infact not rare, just hidden. The 2 newts get released & the 4 of them lived happily ever after
I would love to see you talk about Disney's "Mouse Guard". There are some great footage, and it's so sad it was canceled.
The fact that it was cancelled kind of surprises me, like obviously it was just Rio with lizards instead of birds, but when you look at Coco and compare it to The Book of Life and how it wasn’t cancelled, it’s very confusing. Don’t get me wrong, Coco was beautiful (and much stronger than The Book of Life in my opinion), but it came out only 3 years after TBoL did. Both movies had very similar plots (characters need to get back to the world of the living with the help of their families all while exploring their heritage and Mexican culture) and the same themes of family and friendship. I really wish this movie wasn’t cancelled because if Coco did better than TBoL, I guarantee you this would have been better than Rio (and it’s shaky sequel). I mean, it’s Pixar for crying out loud.
Book of Life was a movie that Jorge Gutierrez was trying to make forever. So much so, an episode of El Tigre seems to be the surrogate version of that movie had it never got made, as it has virtually the same story beats. I'm not sure how close the two were in production, but either Pixar didn't know or care that there was another Dia De Los Muertos movie in production. All I can remember is Disney got shit for trying to trademark the name of the holiday, and they rightfully changed the title of the film. That said, Jorge wasn't by any means angry, disappointed, or bitter by this, but rather was excited to see another studio doing a Muertos film.
@@mightyfilm Wow...thanks for the info!
With all the newt references being placed on the new movies, I think the creators have been mourning or missing the Newt movie that's been in the making yet cancelled. That means it could have been an amazing movie coming out in Summer 2012/2011. It might have a tear-jerking or wholesome story about romance, with a tint of comedy in it. Experiencing the use of updated animation, colors and lightning. I think the movie would have been fresh-to-the-eyes for everyone to see.
I remember years ago when I was a kid I saw an advertisement for this movie only for that ad to disappear off TV and I wasn't reminded of Newt until years later when it was confirmed to have been cancelled
I never knew of this one. Edit: actually I did a bit. Some of the concept Art of the forest seems familiar
i remember seeing a newt advertisement in the theaters that’s crazy
alright this is gonna sound far fetched
quick backstory my grandparents used to own this small cabin up in the northern part of my state which they let us stay at every so often. the place had a huge stockpile of old disney and dreamworks movies (antz, a bug's life, etc.) on vhs.
now on to the actual story
i was about 7 or so, and one morning it was snowing outside. since i didn't want to go outside and freeze, i put on one of those old tapes. if i remember correctly, it was toy story. i decided to watch through the previews (yes, vhs tapes had those too, not just dvds), and i could have sworn i saw some mention of this movie. while watching this video, i had flashbacks to that tape. if i knew which year that tape is from (and i probably never will, considering my grandparents sold that cabin a few years ago) it might provide some valuable information to this whole thing
I love the overcooked music in the background lol
This reminds me of the Bugs Life and Antz situation. Is actually insane of the cycle just repeated
11:00 ironic clip to be playing there.
imagine if they made this entire movie, the whole time girl newt (gewt) and boy newt (bewt) are fighting and carrying on, bewt predictably proves his worth to gewt with his grit/knowhow/etc. (there is at least one scene where he uses the mating dance to confuse and alarm a predator), and gewt just as predictably opens up emotionally to bewt. they find more newts that suddenly and cathartically take the pressure off them to mate, but of course this also removes the only excuse they had to be together, and there's this kind of unspoken question of "are we a thing?" that is acknowledged every time they interact. then, finally...
bewt: i have something to tell you
gewt: i have something to tell you too
-conversational shenanigans-
bewt, sputtering: well, uh, then let's just say it at the same time
both, squeezing their eyes shut: i just want to be friends!!
they both look up, gasping, the music signals its quiet disbelief, then swells to joy as they both begin to smile and grab hold of each other and laugh, and 1.5+ hours into a movie about prescribed love, pixar whispers "fuck you" to the standard that the boy in the movie and the girl in the movie always have to get together romantically.
Hey Dazz could you do a video on DreamWorks other cancelled films? Like B. O. O: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations, Zodiac, Larrikins, Monkeys of Mumbai, and maybe Spooky Jack (though I'm not sure if that film is cancelled or not)
Rango and Rio were both awful
they should release newt
Ok so Rio and Rango both AMAZING films by the way. (R.I.P blue say studios I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU DISNEY!!!)
Music in background: overcooked! Cooking in high temperature. Made that name up since I only remember it because it plays in hot levels…
Can you please do Larrikins (Bilby) next? I haven’t really heard anyone else talk about this canceled film.
I feel like if Rio didn’t come out and this did it would of had a sequel but I think that Rio would do better than Newt. Also I wonder who ripped off who Pixar or blue sky studios?
I feel like the art of the dozens of newts together were brook’s family when she was young, and there was a tragedy that either split her up from them, or had them all killed with brook being the last surviving female, with newt being raised in captivity since birth, but that’s only a theory that would make sense with the plot being there are only 2 left in existance
I knew about Newt from a video explaining all of the times Pixar gave easter eggs to future films but I never knew the film was so similar to Rio. Also the easter egg is a "Newt Crossing" sign on Andy's door in Toy Story 3.
(Btw didn't finish watching the video before the typing the comment)
Really enjoyed the vid! Not sure how I found you (all praise to the algorythm, I guess) but glad I did and subbed. Also, and sorry, but was that the correct way to use 'infer'? Pixar would imply the 'Newt' film in their other films, we would 'infer' from those implications...? Anyways, gonna check out the 'Cancelled Dreamworks' vid now, as well as your others. Thanks!
Wasn’t “Gigantic” a cancelled Pixar movie?
That was disney I think
It was a Walt Disney Animation!Studios cancelled film
Gigantic was not Pixar
Would’ve preferred this over brave or a certain other movie we won’t mention
What is it
@@pokemonerd good dinosaur
Lmao I love the Overcooked soundtrack in the background. It reminds me of so many times I raged when playing that game.
Excellent video!
5:37 Shrunk is an Axolotl…
I mean, even though it sounded a lot like Rio this movie /could/ have still had potential. The newt ritual could have made it a little different, plus, the personalities could have been a bit different, the environment would have been different allowing for pixar to be able to flex their ability at bringing to life different types of landscapes and we could have had different side character's to Rio's cast. So the main plot line would have been similar, but there are a lot of movies with similar/same plots, each with it's own individual things to make it unique and interesting all the same. And maybe they could have ditched the idea of the first date not going so well and have the characters interested in one another, but not as much as the female is interested in living her own life and finding newts other than Newt. The owl could be portrayed as a necessary evil, or an antagonist out of necessity... simply a bird trying to survive in the wild, rather than just a basic villain. No need for a sympathetic backstory, just reasonable motivations and a cool character.
Instead of having the two scientists get romantically involved they could just remain friends or colleagues... or the other scientist could have been switched for one of the same gender/sex to create a bit more variety between pixars romantic couples.
Or maybe, after all that nonsense, the blue footed newts realise that they are actually capable of changing sexes and asexual reproduction. Granted, I'm not sure if any salamander out there is capable of either of those things, but clownfish can change sex and some lizards are capable of asexual reproduction. And instead of ending up together romantically, they could have ended up as friends... And then later on they could have wound up finding more blue footed newts - maybe in a sequel - to make this species' survival a bit more feasible.
Rio has nothing to do with Newt being cancelled. Just an urban myth.
I wish it went through. Seeing those shots from a newts perspective as far as size is concerned would be great. The comparison from a bugs life to now would be so cool
fun fact, that William Shatner picture at 12:50 was taken from the episode called In for a Penny on the TV show Psych.
6:15 They're not purple-footed; when they're underwater, the colors get darker.
You just sent me to an add 😭
@@prettyfish6747 I'M SO SORRY IT WASN'T MY INTENTION
@@dorkfishie8923 it’s okay it was funny lol
I think the idea really was "it's A Bug's Life meets Finding Nemo!"
Also, wasn't there another canceled Pixar movie called Ray Gunn?
These are amazing 🤩
The Phoenix Wright background music at 6:13 🔥🔥
Clicked in 14 seconds, didn't regret.
no one:

Yeah, I don’t need a newt to give me a sultry look 😐
WHY DO DISNEY MOVIES KEEP CANCELLING THEIR GOOD MOVIE IDEAS!?!?!?!? :[
Yay another video!
