Status: Partially Found
Filmation's New Classics Collection is a franchise of movies that, as early as 1985, Filmations announced plans to produce.
They were supposed to be around 90-minute films to be distributed in cinemas, tape, syndicated for open television broadcast, and then, a possible spin-off series.[1]
Premise
It was a series of estimated 13 animated pseudo-sequels from Public Domain histories, mostly ones that Disney had already adapted from. Those being:
- The New Adventures of Pinocchio
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfelles
- The Challenge of Cinderella
- Time Machine II: The Man Who Saved the Future
- Bambi: Prince of the Forest
- 20 Million Leagues Across the Universe
- Frankenstein Lives Again!
- The Further Adventures of Gulliver
- The Son of Sleeping Beauty
- L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
- The Continuing Adventures of the Jungle Book
- New Tales of Arabian Nights
- Alice Returns to Wonderland
Availability
The Walt Disney Company sued Filmation before production had even started for proposing to make sequels to their classic films interrupting the production of the movies.[3] The studio was bought up by L'Oreal (the cosmetic company) and shut down in 1989. [4]
In the end, only "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night" (1987) and "Snow White Happily Ever After" (1989) were published, it's unknown if ever or how much went into the production of the other titles.
