Foodfight! (2002 hard drive version)

Foodfight! was a film made by Threshold animation studios. It was supposed to showcase Threshold as "The next generation PIXAR.".

Plot
Foodfight! was styled as "Toy story in a supermarket," as the plot was about a supermarket that came to life when the store closed.

Why it was cancelled
Unfortunately, in December 2002, the hard drive that contained the original was stolen. Threshold said it was a act of "industrial espionage". After the hard drives were stolen, Threshold had to start over from scratch, resulting in the movie being delayed for a decade, and the company losing most of its hard work and money. Ten years later, it was finally released in 2012.

Result

 * The hard drives that contain 60% of the original film remains lost to this day.
 * The final project was heavily panned by critics for the "stiff, jerky, lifeless and unfinished" animation, tons of sexual innuendos, and a terrible script.
