This is interesting, seems like in 1983 Disney was planning to make a cartoon version of “Where the Wild things Are,” but I guess they never fully agreed to make the show. I bet it would have been an awesome show to watch, especially as a little kid. I probably would have loved the show as much as I loved Barney.
In 1983, the Disney studio owned the movie rights to Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are. Animators John Lasseter and Glen Keane were interested in combining traditional, hand-drawn animation with CGI backgrounds, so they shot the following test film featuring Max, the lead character of Wild Things. The studio rejected the idea because they said it was too expensive, and Lasseter was fired soon after.
