The Greatest Animated Film (That Was Never Made)

Disclaimer: In 2018, John Lasseter stepped down from his role at Disney/Pixar following allegations from staff members. While I did not feel these events were relevant to the content of this video, I felt they should not go unmentioned, and I encourage you to do further research. Perhaps the greatest animated film was one that was never produced... In 1983, a few hungry animators saw the future. Glen Keane, John Lasseter and Chris Wedge collaborated on a piece of test footage based on Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak's iconic children's book . The test footage that they produced was so inventive, so full of potential, that it remains celebrated to this day. So what killed it? And if the film was made, would it have lived up to Sendak's revolutionary work? 0:00 Where the Wild Things Are 1:11 The Book 2:34 The Author 5:38 Disney 8:55 The Test Footage 11:55 The Future of Animation
