Hi Anna, and everyone !
Hope you are well.
A good example for me is 'Destino', the Disney project begun in 1945 as a collaboration between the Disney studio and Salvador Dali. John Hench and Dali created a rough storyboard, a myriad of artwork, and about 17 seconds of footage. The project was shelved as too costly, but revived by Roy Disney in 2003 when putting together Fantasia 2000, and completed by the Disney studio in Paris for a release that year.
Animation is full of unfinished projects like this, that occasionally get picked up - Ray Harryhausen did a similar thing with one of his early fairytales, 'The Story of the Tortoise and the Hare', begun in 1952, completed in 2002.
I told you animation took a long time to make !!
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Best Wishes,
Paul

Subject: question about unfilmed screenplays
Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone knows any good examples of forgotten screenplays re-discovered and made into a film or stage play many years later. I am looking into a contemporary theatre performance with a compilation of Bergmans unfilmed screenplays and I am looking for examples to compare with. There is clearly an archival approach in this project, the texts are interesting to the stage director because they represent the forgotten or the hidden side of an otherwise well known authorship. If anyone knows good examples to compare with so let me know.
All the best, Anna Sofia Rossholm
