My Peoples
Voting ended onMay 27, 2025
Cancelled because: the poor box office numbers of the first
Cancelled because the first had low box office? AND WHO'S FAULT WAS THAT, DISNEY! You don't get to purposely destroy a movie and then blame the thing YOU DESTROYED as to why there can't be a sequel that is already NINE MONTHS into production!
My Peoples (Once in a Blue Moon / A Few Good Ghosts)
Cancelled because: Disney head of animation David Stainton felt that Chicken Little, which was also being worked on at the time, would be more marketable and reach more of a general audience. [The Florida studio was closed in January 2004 as well.]
They cancelled this movie for CHICKEN LITTLE! Look, I don't care if you do or don't like Chicken Little, but we all know it wasn't exactly Disney's biggest success. Michael Eisner and David Stainton were even very happy with story reels for My Peoples and praised it shortly before announcing the cancellation! This movie was going to be traditionally animated, it was going to have a unique setting and style of music, and there was already a proof of concept trailer and a storyboard animatic of the opening song ready. They had even already gotten Dolly Parton on board as a voice actor! Dolly Parton! Barry Cook took a research trip to the Appalacian mountains and based the idea of folk art dolls being possessed by spirits on ghost stories he had heard there! So much work went into this movie and it had such an interesting concept and every day I wish I could watch it but instead we got Chicken. Little.
