DRAWING FOR NOTHING is a free compendium for the artwork of the world's canceled and troubled animated films. Animation reels have been scrubbed, portfolios scraped, books scanned, interviews conducted and resumes analyzed to present this. Some movies within this book you'll know pretty well, but there will always be at least one you've never heard of. The purpose of this book is to not only properly appreciate the work put into things that never got the chance to be appreciated, but to give artists another source of inspiration. There's a ton of things to be inspired by now, but what about the things that never made it? The things that were deemed too risky or not good enough?

This collection will never be finished, chapters are added periodically whenever they're done. There is no schedule for future updates, they'll just happen when they happen. If you have a Twitter account, announcements will be made at this account.

A list of films planned to be given their own chapters (or mentioned briefly within an "honorable mentions" chapter) has been written and is consistently updated. If you're curious what might be next, that's all of it!
