What if Blue Sky Studios founded in 1929?/Cancelled Projects

=== Santa Calls ===
When 20th Century Fox bought Blue Sky Studios, their first feature film with them was originally going to be an animated film based on the children's book Santa Calls by author William Joyce.[13][14] It follows Santa Claus asking three gifted children to help him defeat an army of dark elves and save Christmas. However, the film's production was canceled due to difficulties to improve the CGI animation and problems with the production; Blue Sky's first true film was Ice Age in 2002 and Joyce later worked with Fox and Blue Sky on Robots and Epic.

=== Anubis ===
In 2008, Fox and Blue Sky acquired the film rights to the fantasy novel The Anubis Tapestry by Bruce Zick for an animated film titled Anubis. David H. Steinberg wrote the first draft for the film. The film was scheduled for release on March 23, 2018,[39][40][41] but, by June 2017, it had been removed from its schedule for unknown reasons.[42]
