Unmade Projects[]

The Snow Queen, a project that would have written and directed by LaRoque. It was originally set to be released on December 20, 2006, but was delayed to 2007. In March 2006, Universal then moved the film to 2008, and announcing Audel LaRoque as the director of Computeropolis 2, which he was directing concurrently with Big Hero 6. However, in March 2007, the project was abandoned by Universal due to script problems and LaRoque was no longer working on the project, and would instead work on an idea that would later become Quest. A few characters and elements from this film were reincarnated a decade later into Walt Disney Animation Studios' Frozen (2013) and Universal Animation Studios' Paradoria (2015), respectively.
