Pixar’s a studio that’s known for delivering quality animated classics, but little is known publicly about its development process. Indeed, the studio has a reputation for excellent quality control and hasn’t hesitated in the past when deciding whether or not a project should go forward, even when significant resources have been put into them. Such is the case with Pixar’s Newt, a cancelled film that would have marked the directorial debut of Lucasfilm vet Gary Rydstrom. It was to have featured the voices of William Shatner, Ben Stiller and Delroy Lindo, but after much development, the film was quietly taken off the Pixar schedule and has never surfaced. So what happened to Pixar’s Newt?
Indeed, Pixar cancelling movies is nothing new. The studio has always been known for its quality control, and certainly, if a project isn’t shaping up well, they tend to abandon it.

In the 1980s, there was no comedic force in the movies quite like Eddie Murphy. Rising to fame as one of the most prominent members of Saturday Night Live when he was still in his early twenties, Murphy became a sensation thanks to his perfect comedic timing, his infectious laugh and smile, and his effortlessly cool screen presence. Some people just have the ‘It’ factor, and Eddie had it and then some, and 48 Hrs and Beverly Hills Cop remain two of his signature vehicles.
While not every movie of his in the 80s was a winner (we’re talkin’ to you Best Defense and Harlem Nights), his track record was pretty darn impressive. And with all due respect to Coming to America and Trading Places, the two movies that best exemplify Murphy at the height of his charisma are 48 Hrs. and Beverly Hills Cop – the first one, obviously.
