Before Pixar, there was 'The Works,' an unfinished '70s CG feature produced at the New York Institute of Technology by a who's-who of pioneers in the field, including Pixar founders Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith.

Character exploration by Rune Brandt Bennicke for Dreamworks' Me and My Shadow
This has gotten popular for some reason and I'd like to clarify that the creator of the little dancing creature isn't entirely known and could have been made by Lance WIlliams instead. Also, a documentary about the lab this was created in is currently being made!
Would love to see @WSJ 's complete interview with Docter. Not sure how that quote actually relates to cutting out a character's sexuality.
Pete Docter, chief creative officer at Pixar and director of “Monsters Inc.,” “Up” and “Inside Out,” gives his reasoning on why the studio cut the LGBTQ storyline from 2025's "Elio":
“We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.”

How the character designs developed for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (2004–2009), created by Craig McCracken, Cartoon Network Studios
It's been over a year, but two new chapters have been released! Take a look into American Dog, the earlier, way weirder version of Bolt and Cat Tale, the failed dream of promising animation studio Imagi. As always, you can read the book for free on our website.

@blameitonjorge Today, while I was at the thrift store, I found a workprint with the movie Hoodwinked!, featuring the original voice cast. Fun! #Hoodwinked #lostmedia #lostmedia2026
The screenplay to the infamous unproduced reboot of The Incredible Mr. Limpet, originally meant to star Jim Carrey, has appeared online thanks to @Maximosalazar02 archive.org/details/1-ncr-3-…

Very late update on this: A colleague did acquire this and the entire contents will be shared... eventually. There's a lot.
Theres a stack of storyboards and production documents on a canceled animated feature using Beatles music covered by Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson called Strawberry Fields for sale. Anyone got $2,000?

Hello readers! Yesterday made it one full year since the last update on Drawing For Nothing. Some of you may be wondering what happened to the project, others may have forgotten about it entirely. I'd like to make it clear that the book is still going, I've just been busy. 1/3
Along with DFN I also operate a steadily growing YouTube channel (with an upcoming documentary), attend college, and generally have a life to tend to. I am excited to announce however that the next two chapters SHOULD be out sometime this month. 2/3

In the '00s, Disney was prepping a stylized CG feature years ahead of its time. It was called Fraidy Cat.
