Gigantic was a planned computer-animated musical comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Nathan Greno (Tangled) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out, Captain Marvel) were set to direct it, and it was initially scheduled to be the 59th animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon, following the release of Frozen II in November 2019. On October 10, 2017, Disney announced that the project had been cancelled.[2]

Plot[]

Set in Spain during the Age of Exploration, the film followed Jack as he discovers a world of giants hidden within clouds. Jack befriends the female giant Inma, who's "11 years old, 60 feet tall, fiery, feisty and a lot to control" and estimated to be over 90 tons or over 180,000 pounds! She treats him like a living doll, Greno said. Meanwhile, the antagonists, Storm Giants, stand at 120 feet.

Development[]

The film was officially announced on August 14, 2015, by John Lasseter, at the D23 Expo. The film is set to be a musical, with songs written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who previously wrote the music for the Academy Award-winning film, Frozen, in 2013. The pair won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Let It Go". Dorothy McKim, who produced the acclaimed short Get a Horse!, was announced as the producer of the film.

After the official announcement of Gigantic, Raymond S. Persi confirmed on social media that he would be story boarding for the film.[3]

On October 3, 2016, writer Meg LeFauve was announced to join the film as a co-director alongside Greno.[1]

On April 25, 2017, Disney announced that the release date had been pushed up to November 25, 2020, from its previous release date of November 21, 2018.
