For those interested in clips of canceled animated films, here is the full version of the Cat Tale trailer. (More details below)
Imagi Studios in California was working on this film between 2005 and 2007. Called Cat Tale, it featured a cat that was accidentally delivered to a family of dogs with their new litter (thus his name- Rover). He grew up believing he was a dog, but knew he was different. He eventually learns he is a cat and travels to Catopolis to find out who he is...
The studio had final scripts, the entire movie story-boarded and a fully animated trailer at the time they shut down the California offices and auctioned off all the assets of in-production films, and the company's hardware. They also had chosen, and hired, most of the voice cast. Sean Astin, Elisha Cuthbert, Fred Willard, Catherine O'Hara, Jerry O'Connell, Billy Idol, Michael Richards, Stanley Tucci, Rip Torn and several others all recorded their lines for the movie.
In the pile of assets for this film that I received from that auction was an HD copy of the trailer with full dialog (and even a 35mm film copy of it), all the hand drawn storyboards, all the VO recording sessions, copies of the script in various stages and re-writes, mockups of the theatrical poster and theatrical standees, even press kits for the film... Probably wouldn't have been the most spectacular animated film ever made, but kind of a shame it got this far and never made it.
Official Imagi synopsis of the movie:
"Cat Tale" is a classic tale of self-discovery. A fun, heart-warming romp, "Cat Tale" delivers one of the great messages of all time, "When the world keeps you down, just be yourself." Rover is your average rescue dog living in rural Dogtown and raised by good-natured canine parents. There’s only one problem. He’s a cat.
An orphaned cat adopted by dogs, Rover must journey to find his origins against all odds. Dogs and cats are separated by the great mountain lake. When the oddball cat inventor Newton crash lands in Rover’s neighborhood, Rover discovers he’s a cat and does the unthinkable: he flies back to find his family. He crosses over from rural Dogtown to the urban jungle Catopolis, where the wonders of big lights and catscrapers mesmerize him. Yet even among his fellow cats, Rover’s doggedness keeps him from fitting in, and he’s unlucky in love with a teacher cat, Cleo.
But he has bigger things to worry about.
A power coup is brewing through the mighty kitty litter corporation Sampson Industries, where the ambitious cat Rufus is planning a takeover of the company. But even more nefarious is his goal of dominating Dogtown for profit. With anti-dog sentiment running high in Catopolis, only Rover can defeat Rufus and bridge the two species together in peace.
And he uncovers the shocking truth about his past…
