10 Movies That Were Filmed But Never Finished
9. The Works
Everybody knows that Pixars Toy Story was the first 3D computer animated feature film. However, had it have been completed, The Works would have beaten John Lasseter's animation to the punch by well over a decade.
In 1976, The New York Institute of Technology partially developed The Works. There was no official director or editor attached to the project; instead, Graphics Researcher Lance Williams helmed the production with a team that consisted entirely of computer programmers. Ten years after the task was set in motion, The Works was binned because the projects ambitions exceeded the technology.
From the few minutes of surviving footage, the film appears to follow a group of creatures working on some kind of construction site, but it all just looks like a very bad video game. Hooray for Pixar.
