The Disney Film That Never Was Part 2



This concept art has been mistaken for being made for The Black Cauldron.

it is not.

It is for a live action/animated hybrid film that Disney planned back in the late 70's

The Hero From Otherwhere  from author Jay H. Williams' book of the same title.


excerpts from Disney Wiki

"The story involves two boys, Jesse Rosen and Rich Dennison from Brixton, Connecticut with opposite attributes and common enemies at Brixton Junior High School were sent to Mr. Haggarty's office for fighting and they were transferred to an endangered planet known as Gwyliath".

"It never had offered intriguing production problems of every category of animation along with the encounters with the bizarre inhabitants of their new world and planet Gwyliath."
