Chuck Jones' unrealised projects
The following is a list of unproduced Chuck Jones projects in roughly chronological order. During his long career, Chuck Jones worked on a number of animated projects that never progressed past the pre-production phase.
Mighty Hunters series
In 1938, Chuck Jones directed Mighty Hunters. A short film adaptation of James Swinnerton's comic strip Canyon Kiddies. The short was hoped to be the first in a series, but lukewarm reception resulted in its cancellation[1]
The Dover Boys at Piminto University Sequel
In 1945, Jones drew concept art for a sequel to his 1942 short The Dover Boys at Piminto University.[2]
Trooper Droopy
In 1962, when Jones was directing Tom and Jerry shorts for MGM, he put together a storyboard for a Droopy short he was scheduled to direct, entitled Trooper Droopy. One of the early scenes shows the intrepid trooper going through the North Woods. The camera pulls back to reveal Droopy riding a unicycle. He turns to the audience and says, "I know it's degrading but I save a lot of hay." This was later discovered in Jones' files.[3]
Crawford TV pilot
In 1969, Jones drafted a complete storyboard for a planned Crawford TV pilot.[4]
The Chronicles of Narnia

Bugs and Daffy ...In Concert?
In 1979, Jones drafted storyboards for an unproduced television animated special entitled "Bugs and Daffy ...In Concert?".[6]
