Series Title Description
Television series The Adventures of MC Skat Kat and the Stray Mob Singer Paula Abdul was in talks for an animated series based on the animated rapper MC Skat Kat for Fox Kids along with an animated movie for Universal Pictures.

Series Title Description
Alien Operation: Aliens In 1992, a planned animated series based on the 1986 film Aliens titled Operation: Aliens was being produced for Fox Kids along with an LCD game, board game, a Sega Genesis video game, and action figures as tie-ins for the proposed series, but was ultimately cancelled, with the only things that came out of this scrapped project was the action figure line.[2] [3] [4] [5]

1993

Series Title Description
Ren & Stimpy Untitled Ren & Stimpy film In May 1993, Nickelodeon announced a two-year picture deal with 20th Century Fox to produce some of its films, including its IPs such as the aforementioned Ren & Stimpy. However, the idea of a "warm and fuzzy" family film adaptation of the show's "cynical and gross" style of humor was deemed unfit and would have likely ran into creative issues with creator John Kricfalusi (who would be forced out several months after the deal was announced).[6] Fox's film deal with Nick expired when Viacom purchased the network, along with Paramount Pictures, in 1994 leaving Paramount to distribute and co-produce the network's theatrically released films.
Doug Untitled Doug film Nickelodeon was also making a Doug film adaptation in 1993 when they made a deal with Fox to make films based on their properties along with films, but the plans evaporated when Viacom acquired Paramount Pictures in 1994, and the deal expired in the following year. The film would later be made under Disney as a response to the success of Disney TVA's own series that aired on ABC and released as Doug's 1st Movie.[7] [8]

Television series Youngblood A half-hour Youngblood animated series was planned for the 1995–96 season on Fox Kids as part of an hour block with a proposed Cyberforce series.[9] The series was being developed by Roustabout Productions, a newly formed animation company. According to Nick Dubois, creative director and co-founder of Roustabout, the series would take a lighthearted approach with tongue-in-cheek humor.[10] A clip was created but the series was never produced due to Fox Kids signing an exclusive deal with Marvel Comics. The clip aired in commercials for Youngblood action figures.
Television series Cyberforce A Cyberforce TV series was proposed aside with the Youngblood TV series, but was scrapped alongside it for the same reason.
Television series Nigel Thornberry's Animal World The Wild Thornberrys was initially pitched as an adult animated sitcom under the name, Nigel Thornberry's Animal World, and was to be co-produced by Fox Animation for Fox, but it was ultimately rejected.

Television series South Park As Jesus vs. Santa became more popular, Parker and Stone began talks of developing the short into a television series about four children residing in the fictional Colorado town of South Park. Fox eagerly agreed to meet with the duo about the show's premise, having prided itself on edgier products such as Cops, The Simpsons, and The X-Files. However, during the meeting at the Fox office in Century City, disagreements between the two creators and the network began to arise, mainly over the latter's refusal to air a show that included a supporting talking stool character named Mr. Hankey. Some executives at 20th Century Fox Television (which was to produce the series) agreed with its then-sister network's stance on Mr. Hankey and repeatedly requested Parker and Stone to remove the character in order for the show to proceed. Refusing to meet their demands, the duo cut ties with Fox and its sister companies all together and began shopping the series somewhere else.

The project was envisioned as a comedy with both live action and animated elements, and an original storyline that would combine details from several Berenstain books. According to Levy: "I'd like the film to be un-ironic about its family connections but have a wry comedic sensibility that isn't oblivious to the fact that they're bears".
