So, a couple months ago, I read DisneyWar and one passage stuck out to me. In a typical bit of creative impulsiveness, inspired by his son's high school graduation, he decided to put Edward Elgar's "Pomp And Circumstance" marches into the film that would later become Fantasia 2000. And the story he cooked up for that was just weird... apparently it was going to be a "put every fucking character in this" short like Once Upon a Studio turned out to be. But the framing story was that, apparently, the Disney princesses up to that point (read: up until Aladdin) would all be in this mass wedding ceremony, and at the end of it they'd be presented with their babies, and, of course, apparently, all the Disney villains would attack because they were pissed that they didn't get invited. If this all seems extremely weird and convoluted, that was basically the reaction of everyone but Eisner. But Eisner was the boss, so they had to try.
It reached the point where they made a storyboard animation, and they showed it to the four surviving members of the Nine Old Men (a group of core animators who worked on most of the studio's projects), in hopes of getting them out of retirement to animate some short segments. Eventually, Ward Kimball would respond: “That’s the stupidest f*cking idea I’ve ever heard.” And so, they retooled it into the incongruous Noah's Ark scene from the final film.
What I didn't know is that it survived to this day and has been leaked:
