Time for some Did you know Disney
Did you know, that during the development of Fantasia, ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'' segment was originally going to have Dopey(from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs) as the apprentice. This idea was later changed to Mickey being the apprentice when Walt Disney was looking for ways to get Mickey Mouse popular again at the time.
It has been said, that an inappropriate Mickey short film was made in 1936. A couple of animators got together and made a little reel for Walt Disney's birthday. The short in question had Mickey and Minnie having sex. After the film was shown, Walt asked who animated this film. After the animators showed themselves(their names are never given) Walt later fired them from the Disney studio. Nobody knows if the film exists, apart from the fact that Walt wanted this removed from existence. Some believe it while others say it was just an urban legend of film. A similar film(although shown at a private party for those who attended the move to the extended spot for the Fleischer studio) of Betty boop and Popeye was shown(I'm not going to explain in detail. Just use your imagination to picture it).
The follow-up to Ducktales(if you can call it that) Quack pack was much different from the finished product. It originally started out as Donald returning from the navy to find that Scrooge Mccduck has decided to let Donald run his company. While Donald is being a new boss to his uncle's company, he would have gotten back together with Daisy, and his nephews who are in their teen years(but are still the nephews that Donald knows and loves). According to a few Disney animators. One of the executives noted that the Ducktales movie wasn't as much of a hit as Disney was expecting to be. When they saw the rise of live-action teen comedies at the time, they wanted an animated show that followed similar routes to those products. They later ditched the planned concept and made Quack Pack heavily focused on Donald's nephews, and was made to be more 'hip' at the time. Rumor had it that the late Carl Barks(who wrote and drawn the comics of Disney's ducks) had hated it because of the show having no connection to any of the duck stories that Carl worked on for Disney.
