Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) According to Hartman in a 2017 interview on YouTube during the Weinstein scandal, the film was originally going to include a live-action frame story similar to The Princess Bride but it was later scrapped and rejected due to budget costs and was replaced with narration from Judi Dench.
 * 2) Butch Hartman's original script was meant to stay in sync with the animation same with the 2005 version and unlike the final version with much of his script was supposed to be recorded by the actors (Daniel Tay, Chevy Chase, Jimmy Fallon, Kylie Minogue (who reprised her role from the original version but with an American accent), Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Hader, Judi Dench, John Krasinski, William H. Macy, Kevin Smith and Jon Stewart) who star in the film, with most of them being directed by Hartman.
 * 3) According to Hartman, the original U.S. movie poster had his name and his production company Billionfold Inc. on it, until they were forced to be removed in later posters in copyright favour of both Pathé and Action Synthese's credits.

Results

 * In the end, when the film was released, much of Hartman's original script was re-written and re-recorded without his consent by producer Harvey Weinstein and his distribution and production company The Weinstein Company with a screenplay by Hoodwinked! co-director Cory Edwards. Only 3% of his material made it into the final cut.
 * The final version by Harvey Weinstein had an overabundance of pop culture references and flatulence jokes, neither of which were presumably present in Hartman's script.
 * Cory Edwards, co-director of Hoodwinked!, was responsible for the new screenplay of the US dub and the pop culture references and flatulence jokes involved in Harvey Weinstein's version of the film.
 * Doogal was a critical and commercial failure.
 * The American failure of the film led Action Synthese to strictly only produce TV shows like the reboot of The Magic Roundabout (which only aired for a limited time on Netflix in America) since then, and, 7 years after Doogal was released, the company was subject to bankruptcy causing their planned films (A second Magic Roundabout film, a adaptation of Xilam television animated series Space Goofs and a animation adaptation of The Wizard of Oz) to be cancelled.
 * Doogal has been considered as one of the worst animated films ever made.
 * Butch Hartman has since disowned and regretted the film after most of his script was recut, rewritten and re-recorded by Harvey Weinstein without his permission.
 * both The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films has since been shut down in 2018, following the Harvey Weinstein scandal and has since both reformed into Lantern Entertainment and Spyglass Media Group in July 2018 (the same year as the shutdown of The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films).
