That's unfortunate. I would have loved to see more of what this guy had.
He had stuff that would blow anyone's mind. He had scripts, concept art, test animations, assets and even workprints/animatics for many animated films.
I like to imagine that he had stuff for animated films that are almost completely undocumented on the internet. Note that I didn't specifically say CANCELLED.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

You know guys. Can we do an actual search for these scripts? And more importantly looking for the original draft of the Rugrats Movie? This is why I brought back up this thread. Or I could just move the discussion of The Rugrats Movie to a new thread and do a search there?
According to this Fansite (scroll down a little) Nick signed a deal with Fox to produce theatrical movies for Rugrats, Doug, and Ren & Stimpy in 1993. None of these movies were made. I have heard conflicting rumors about whether or not the Rugrats movie was an earlier version of what came out in 1998. I don’t know what Doug and Ren & Stimpy would be about. I guess there’s a small chance that Doug would have been an earlier version Doug’s first movie.
I think I can shed some insight. As someone whose been collecting screenplays for a while, I've learned about a many cancelled movies that have no info online. Yes, Fox was set to produce Nickelodeon movie before the Paramount buyout. The scripts I know that exist and are being shared privately are: an early draft of The Rugrats Movie, Ren & Stimpy: The Movie, All That! At the Cinema, (and I'm not joking) Aaah! Real Monsters in The Big Scare.
I even have excerpt from the Ren and Stimpy script:
REN & STIMPY - THE MOVIE
WRITTING ROBERT CAMP - JOHN KRICFALUSI
DIRECTING JOHN KRICFALUSI
COPYRIGHT 1993 SPUMCO FIRST PASS SEND TO NICKELODEON, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX
SYNOPSIS When Stimpy makes the dumbest decision of his life, Ren must protect his sorry kitty exterior from the likes of the outside world, and must ponder if the life he has now is right for him.
EXCERPT CUT TO:
LOG stump on a black background, a light illuminating onto it. An ANNOUNCER clears his throat.
ANNOUNCE [V.O] This motion picture is brought to you by LOG! The wonderful LOG that can provide your little nutcases with hours and hours of enjoyment! Now available in both BOY and GIRL flavors!
All of these except Rugrats were cancelled. I've never heard of a Nickelodeon Doug movie though (but it wouldn't surprise me).
i would have absolutely loved to see this be a film, i would have 100% eaten this up 3 decades later as a R&S fan. the synopsis seems to show a great film too. real shame it wasn't made, do you know why was it (and doug) cancelled anyways?
The Paramount buyout pretty much killed almost all of these. I know that Klasky Csupo was asked if they wanted to revive the Aaah! Real Monsters movie, but declined saying they just didn't want to do it.

late post, but I thought I should share some other info I know about the Nick scripts. I'm aware of four names attached to the Aaahh!!! Real Monsters script. Those names are ''Arlene Klasky'', ''Gabor Csupo'', ''Peter Gaffney'', and ''Igor Kovalyov''. Now, I don't know if they all wrote the script or if it was just written by Gaffney and Kovalyov and the script's cover said something like 'based on the Nickelodeon series by Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo.' The only other thing I know about it is that the first page (after the cover) is a dedication page to a person named "Fred". Now I don't know exactly who "Fred" is referring to. At the time I thought it could be referring to Fredrick Zowski, the person who gave out that confusing quote all these years ago. However, as pointed out in the comments of LSSQ's video discussing this info, "Fred" is most likely referring to Fred Seibert.
The other bit of info I know relates to the All That! movie, and it has nothing to do with the production or anything (I even don't know who wrote it) it has to do with the copy of the screenplay my former contact had.
The had described it as "the messiest script I've ever seen". It was riddled with notes, blacked out sections, scribbled out dialogue with new dialogue hand written below it, and completely blacked out pages. My former contact told me at one point the script had "7 completely blacked out pages... in a row."
So yeah, that's more or less everything I know regarding these scripts. I do believe that these scripts are real and that my former contact did have them, as they weren't the kind of person that would lie about this (besides, they told about/shared things with me crazier then this).
