## Cancelled or inactive projects

| Title | Description |
| Untitled Adventure Time film | A film based on the Cartoon Network animated series Adventure Time, with creator Pendleton Ward set to write and executive-produce, and Chris McKay and Roy Lee producing. Announced in February 2015, it would have been a collaboration between Warner Animation Group, Cartoon Network Studios, Vertigo Entertainment, and Frederator Films. However, on June 12, 2024, during the Annecy Animation Festival, it was announced that an Adventure Time movie was in development, with Rebecca Sugar, Adam Muto, and Patrick McHale all involved in the project. |
| The Billion Brick Race | A Lego Movie spin-off film announced in March 2015, with Jason Segel and Drew Pearce signed on to co-direct and write. Jorge R. Gutierrez had signed on as director in August 2017, with a release date of May 24, 2019. Cancelled after The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part underperformed at the box office and the franchise moved to Universal Pictures in 2019. |
| Meet the Beatles | An animated musical film based on the Beatles announced in September 2015, with Paul King in talks to direct. |
| Speedy Gonzales | In December 2015, it was reported that an animated film was in development at Warner Bros., under the working title Speedy. In April 2016, it was announced that Eugenio Derbez would voice the character. In April 2024, in an interview, Eugenio Derbez said that he doubts that the movie will happen saying “I feel that the studios are afraid that, nowadays, it's so politically incorrect. I've been telling them constantly that we love Speedy Gonzales in Mexico” |
| Fowl Road | Announced in February 2016, with Nicholas Stoller to direct. Would have been a take on the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" joke. |
| Pepé Le Pew: The City of Lights | In 2016, Max Landis told San Diego Comic-Con that he was writing a Pepé Le Pew film. The film’s script has been leaked online. Artists has published concept art for the film. The movie was cancelled due to sexual assault allegations against Landis in 2017, and a report that the character has not yet been planned to appear in future Warner Bros. productions leaves the feature film in doubt. |
| Bone | Announced in November 2016; an animated adaptation to be produced by Lin Pictures and Animal Logic, with Mark Osborne set to direct. Netflix eventually picked it up as an animated series, but was later cancelled in April 2022 due to a reorganization of Netflix Animation. |
| Lego Superfriends | Sequel to The Lego Batman Movie to be directed by Chris McKay. Cancelled after the Lego Movie franchise went to Universal in 2019 following the box office underperformance of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. |
| Contagious and Emmet Amuck | Two additional Lego Movie shorts for theatrical distribution were in production alongside The Master in 2016: Contagious directed by Patrick Osbourne, and Emmet Amuck directed by Jon Saunders and Ross Evans. Both ultimately went unreleased. |
| That Christmas | A co-production with Locksmith Animation as part of a deal between Warner Animation Group and Locksmith. Later revealed as part of Netflix's slate of upcoming animated films in June 2022, as the film was transferred to the streaming service for unknown reasons. The movie was released on December 4, 2024 |
| Scoob! Holiday Haunt | Prequel to Scoob! directed by Bill Haller and Michael Kurinsky, originally intended for release on HBO Max. Despite production being 95% complete, the film's release was cancelled after the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc. to form Warner Bros. Discovery by CEO David Zaslav in August 2022. |
