The Belgariad
Other unrealised projects also included plans for a 1994 animated short film centered around a magical talking pencil starring Dom DeLuise, animated film adaptations of the books "Deep Wizardry", "Quintaglio Ascension", "The Belgariad", and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". The latter productions were canceled following the box office failure of "Titan A.E." and subsequent closure of Fox Animation Studios. In 2005, a live-action film of the same name was released by Touchstone Pictures.
