25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

22. The Three Misfortunes Of Geppetto

This one probably wouldn't have been a potential major blockbuster in the same terms as a video game, but live-action Disney-related movies are always going to catch a fair bit of interest. And that might also be partly why Disney won't be going ahead with this Pinocchio prequel.

The company already has a live-action adaptation of the puppet classic coming (with Tom Hanks under consideration for Geppetto), and would have had little space for something as confusing to that movie as a prequel following the toymaker as he endures hardships in order to be with his true love.

It was to be directed by Seth Gordon and Shawn Levy, so presumably would have been a comedy too, which is just odd, but in a way that makes you a little sad it's now not possible.
