The Little Beauty King



In the start of the 21st century, famous comedy writer and director Steve Oedekerk had plans with Fox to do two adult animated films that are The Dubbed Action Movie: Enter the Fist (a spoof of Japanese Anime with bad English dubs and was to start a trilogy) and The Little Beauty King (which would have been the first animated comedy film to be a mean dig satire of the Disney Renaissance films and Disney's cliches in their animated films before the DreamWorks Animation movie Shrek did it). While pictures and storyboards of Little Beauty King were shown online on head animator Uli Meyer's old website and Steve Oedekerk's fan website, the film's production was shut down when not only Fox Animation Studios closed its doors, but Oedekerk was working on the animated movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (that received a nomination for the first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and also lost to Shrek) and Oedekerk and Fox had to change and rework The Dubbed Action Movie: Enter the Fist into a live-action movie that would eventually become the cult comedy Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, a spoof of live-action Hong Kong martial arts films with bad English dubs.
