ITT: announced Yea Forums projects that went nowhere or are in development hell

>Evergreen Media Group has made a deal with Telefeatures to acquire rights to the 1960s cartoon series Courageous Cat. Evergreen is prepping a contemporary live-action/CGI feature with a new mythology for the character, one of only two properties originated by Batman creator Bob Kane that isn’t owned by DC Comics and Warner Bros. Telefeatures syndicated the original cartoon series, which Kane created as a parody of his earlier Batman work.

But will it have... THE FROG?!

>“Lidsville,” the Kroffts’ 1971 series about a magical realm populated by living hats, will become a film for DreamWorks Animation, to be directed by Conrad Vernon, the studio is to announce on Monday.

>Mr. Vernon, who worked as a director on the DreamWorks films “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “Shrek 2,” said in a telephone interview that of all the mildly psychedelic Krofft television shows he grew up on, “Lidsville” was the one that just seemed to stick in his head.

>“When I talk to a lot of adults about this,” Mr. Vernon said, “they look back and go, ‘Oh, that show was great but it was so weird.’ And that’s what made me want to watch every single day.”

I remember reading the short story in preparation and being confused how the fuck it could become a disney movie

Explain

The King of the Elves, PKD's short story isn't a fairy tale or normal fantasy, it's really weird and has a sad ending.

>isn't a fairy tale or normal fantasy, it's really weird and has a sad ending
All that didn’t stop Disney from making The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

>The Adventures of Drunky is a passion project for filmmaker Aaron Augenblick. It’s about a boozehound who somehow gets stuck in the middle of a wacky bet between God and Satan. It’s also that rarest of creatures: an R-rated, animated comedy feature aimed at adult audiences. But Augenblick has high hopes.

>“It’s basically my version of an underground comic, blown up to super size. It’s the movie that I’ve wanted to make since I started this studio [in 1999],” Augenblick tells io9 from his Brooklyn HQ. “It follows the main character, Drunky, a barfly, who lives in the worst city in the world, which is called Nowheresville. He basically becomes the pawn in a bet between God and the Devil about the nature of man. In doing so, they steal his girlfriend, so he has to travel to heaven to save his girlfriend and save the world.”
