What If...? – Disney / Miramax (Henry Selick's Toots and the Upside Down House)

In 1996, it was announced that visionary director Tim Burton would be producing a stop-motion animated fantasy film entitled Toots and the Upside Down House, based on the book of the same name by Carol Hughes, which tells the story of a young girl, still grieving over the death of her mother and further upset by her father never paying attention to her, who enters a fantasy world inside her home where goblins, fairies, and sprites live, and she must help them defeat an evil Jack Frost. The project was to be third film from Walt Disney Pictures' Burton-run stop-motion animated film division Skellington Productions, following The Nightmare Before Christmas and the soon-to-be-released James and the Giant Peach. Henry Selick was attached to direct, in his third collaboration with Burton and Disney, with acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh hired to write the screenplay, and the Miramax Films was set to co-produce the picture. However, following James and the Giant Peach's disappointing box office, Disney cancelled the project and effectively shut down Skellington Productions. Follow me and ponder the question, "What if...?"

Amazing. If those 90's Miramax-already produced films we're still distributed by the Walt Disney Studios, this is what this logo combo would've looked like.
