Scrapped projects

In the 1970s, a planned feature film based on It's a Small World was going to be a Cold War-tinged comedy adventure where the children of UN leaders try to get their parents to stop squabbling through faking mass-kidnapping, only for a war profiteer to try to take advantage of the fear and start a mass conflict.[34]

Disney announced in 2011 that it would make a movie based on the Matterhorn Bobsleds called The Hill, about five teenagers who go on a journey up the mountain and encounter a yeti.[35] The company announced in 2021 that it would produce a film based on the attraction for their streaming service Disney+, with the working title Matterhorn.[36]

On April 22, 2014, it was announced that a feature film franchise about It's a Small World was in the works, to be directed by Jon Turteltaub, written by Jared Stern, and produced by Turteltaub, Stern, and Dan Lin.[37] The project was still in development in early 2016;[38] as of 2023, no new information on the film has been released.

In July 2014, it was announced that Disney Television Animation was developing a animated special based on the Haunted Mansion, the project originally was going to be helm by Phineas and Ferb writters Joshua Prett and Scott D. Peterson with Gris Grimly as art director and executive producer, the project was later re-developed as a potential mini-series for Disney XD with Shannon Tindle as executive producer but executive changes at Disney Branded Television in 2017 shelved the production.[39][40]

In October 2018, it was reported that Disney had been looking for ways to reboot the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, bringing on Deadpool (2016) writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, though producer Jerry Bruckheimer was expected to return.[41] However, in February 2019, Reese and Wernick departed the project and the reboot was cancelled.[42]

A female-led spin-off was announced in June 2020, starring Margot Robbie with Christina Hodson writing the screenplay. The film was to be separate from the sixth film also being developed. Bruckheimer was attached as producer.[43] In November 2022, Robbie said the project was not going forward.[44][45]

On October 13, 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported that a film based on Society of Explorers and Adventurers was in development with Qui Nguyen writing the screenplay and Ryan Reynolds producing.[46]

Dreamfinders, a television show loosely based on Journey into Imagination, was supposed to be one of the first TV shows aired on the Disney Channel when it first launched back in 1983; the series would have focused on Dreamfinder and Figment teaming up with other residents of the Dream Port and some ordinary children to protect the realm of imagination from a villain called Fear and his minions (with said children being inspired by their experiences to come up with solutions to their ordinary problems). While some characters were cast and a few scripts were written, the show was never filmed according to the Walt Disney Archives Chief Archivist Emeritus Dave Smith, and no explanation was given as to why the project was cancelled.[47]
