The video discusses three canceled animation projects:
1. **Chester Cheetah Cartoon**: A cartoon series based on the Cheetos mascot, which was in production in the 90s. The show was about Chester's adventures with his animal friends in a zoo, and their dream of escaping to "HipCity." The project was canceled due to concerns from television activists that the show would be a 20-minute commercial for Cheetos.
2. **Gorillaz Cartoon**: A full-length cartoon based on the British band Gorillaz, which was announced in 2002. The project, titled "Celebrity Harvest," was canceled due to creative differences between the band and the Dreamworks studio. Although the project was abandoned, some of its ideas were used in the band's music videos and a book about the group's biography.
3. **POGMEN Animated Series**: An animated series based on the POGMEN mascot, a character created to promote a popular 90s collectible item called POGs. The show was about the adventures of Pogman and his cat on a tropical island. The project was canceled, likely due to the decline in popularity of POGs and the lack of creative potential in the show's concept.
The video also mentions a canceled live-action adaptation of the anime series Sailor Moon, which was attempted by American producers in the 90s.
