Pixar nearly made its first stop-motion film with the director of Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas, but the project was killed before most fans even knew it existed.
This is the buried history of The Shadow King - Pixar and Disney’s forgotten dark fantasy. A grotesque, personal vision from Henry Selick that spiraled into delays, studio meddling, and ballooning costs before Disney finally pulled the plug.
