Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) It would seem a bit strange to make a film about characters from old cartoons when their popularity has faded away now.
 * 2) Possible development issues may have caused this film to be cancelled.
 * 3) The Sony hack may have also caused it to be cancelled since the film was first in development in 2014.
 * 4) When the film was finished, it was horribly flanderized and Genndy Tartakovsky, the director, cancelled it.

Results

 * The trailer was leaked.
 * The project remains in development hell at Sony Picture Animation, and its fate is either unknown or unlikely.
 * Production of the film was later replaced by The Emoji Movie, which was released in 2017. However, despite being a box office success, the film was a critical failure due to how the story was similar to those of Wreck-It Raplh, The Lego Movie, and Inside Out, and the fact that it cause major backlash and controversies in the internet, as well as against Sony and the crew who worked on the film.
