>There were a few ideas for shows planned for inclusion in The Disney Afternoon that never made it off the drawing board. Jim Hill's Blog: The Disney Afternoon Shows You Didn't Get to See. Retrieved on January 1, 2014.
>Maximum Horsepower - A show about Horace Horsecollar which explains why he stopped appearing in cartoons after the 1930s. It would have the background that Horace was getting tired of playing minor roles and found out about Mickey's big role in Fantasia. Horace decided that he would go to Walt to try and get him a big role in a movie but never made it to his office due to getting abducted by aliens that transported him halfway across the galaxy, wanting a hero. Horace, however, wants to return to Earth to continue his acting career.
>Double-O Ducks - A James Bond-style show that would have starred Launchpad McQuack as the main character. One problem with developing this show was that the name "Double-O" had been trademarked and Disney couldn't use it. Another problem was that producer Tad Stones had trouble developing Launchpad as a leading character. However, the ideas of this show would lead to the production of Darkwing Duck.
>The Magic Kingdom Show - It would involve a boy and a girl finding out that there is a Walt Disney World in the clouds in which that version of the park and the characters in its attractions and shows are alive and can interact with each other.
>Disney's Critter Country - A show featuring the animal characters from the Critter Country attractions Country Bear Jamboree and Splash Mountain as they collaborate as a community to stop the fiendish plans of Br'er Fox.
>Thumper's Thicket - A show following the adventures of Thumper from Bambi.
