Foodfight! (2002 hard drive version)

Foodfight! was a film made by Threshold Animation Studios. It was supposed to showcase Threshold as "The next generation Pixar."

Plot
The plot of Foodfight! was supposed to be like "Toy Story in a supermarket," as the plot was about a supermarket that came to life when the store closed.

Production
In 1999 Lawrence Kasanoff and Joshua Wexler created the concept of Foodfight! and later the film went into development at Threshold animation studios, everything seemed to be going well until in December 2002 it was reported that the hard drives containing the film had been stolen, Threshold said it was a act of "industrial espionage", which sparked theories in recent years that the theft was committed by either Pixar or DreamWorks to snuff out a potential threat to their own films' financial viability.

For a long time, the story of the theft remained true, until recently information was reported given by a person who supposedly worked on the film would prove otherwise, the information he revealed was that "The hard drives were actually the server room that was protected by a giant door that few people had access to, so they were never stolen but purposely removed by someone..." This would indicate that the original version of Foodfight! it was deleted and not stolen.

To this day it is not known exactly who deleted the film

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) After losing all the progress of the original film (Supposedly 60% complete), Threshold had to start over from scratch, resulting in the movie being delayed for a decade, and the company losing most of its hard work and money. Ten years later, it was finally released in 2012.

Results

 * All 60% progress on the original film remains lost to this day.
 * The final project was heavily panned by critics for the "stiff, jerky, lifeless and unfinished" animation, tons of sexual innuendos, stereotypical Characters, messy plot, and a terrible script.
 * The person who gave the information stated "The original film written by Josh Wexler was a good movie for children, which was later in the creative process where it became the film that it is today" (Probably referring to Joshua Wexler, only that shortening his name as "Josh Wexler", just as Lawrence Kasanoff shortens his name as "Larry Kasanoff")
