Cancelled projects

A Tin Toy Christmas

A half-hour television special, serving as a sequel to the short Tin Toy (1988) was considered, but Pixar felt convinced they could produce a feature film instead.[19] The project later became Toy Story (1995).

1906 TV series

In 2005, Brad Bird was collaborating with Pixar, Disney, and Warner Bros. on a live-action film and television series adaptation of James Dalessandro's novel 1906.[20] [21] In 2010, Disney and Pixar left the project due to script problems and an estimated budget of $200 million.[22]

Cars Toons: Tales from Radiator Springs: To Protect and Serve

At the 2013 Disney D23 Expo, it was announced that a fifth episode of the television series Cars Toons: Tales from Radiator Springs, entitled To Protect and Serve, was in production.[23] [24]

Untitled Win or Lose follow-up series

A follow-up television series of Win or Lose was in development, but it was quietly cancelled.[25] [26] [27]
