The first attempt looks very, very freaky, I honestly prefer Bob Camp's subtle design instead of actually putting Carrey's face onto a CGI fish. It reminds me of the dog with the hobo's face in the 70's remake of Body Snatchers. If they were to try again, then I'd say do some changes while at the same time being very respectful towards the original cause I can tell that this means a lot to everyone, that's always the best type of remakes, honoring the original while making it your very own. AND, you gotta make this traditionally hand drawn for the aquatic life and under the sea (especially Limpet himself) while using realistic CGI for the surface of the ocean, so it can better blend the 2D elements for when Limpet talks to his friend on the surface of the ocean. I mean A New Legacy did a fantastic job on utilizing both traditional animation and CGI, I can definitely see this done well with The Incredible Mr. Limpet.
With today's mocap technology and face rigs that can capture all the nuances of the actor's face, a CGI Mr. Limpet would look a hell of a lot better now than 25 years ago!
@joestrike8537 True, I finally saw the leaked test footage, and even though it's from the late 90s, it's still mighty impressive to look at. But... almost everyone doesn't want to see this design, especially in updated mocap visual effects. Sometimes, it's best to stick with what worked in the original movie. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Thanks man for uploading it. I love it and I wish Jim Carrey should of played the character and I was thinking of it during Christmas. If it was released, it would have been released in 2000.
I remember seeing the test footage decades ago and thinking "oh my." Recently saw the original for the first time in even more decades and thought it really held up. Actually happy there hasn't been a remake. If people want to see a movie about a guy who turns into a fish, it exists. And it's very good.
By the way when I saw a footage of Jim doing motion capture for the limpet character. It looked great and cool. This would have been Bery a successful movie hit for Jim Carrey.
I’m glad this didn’t get made. Not only would it have ruined the original (my childhood), but its uncanny valley levels are on-par with the Cats movie.
I thank my better senses that I never went to see the film version of "CATS!" I saw the stage musical twice and loved it! The movie? Put it in a litter box... the cats will know what to do with it!
"Barney" was a true American classic. 🙏♥️👍💪👊✌️🤟. Don only accepted acting gigs that Andy approved of. Jim also depended on Andy for advice....Jim Neighbors. Andy would never socialize with Jim Carey.
I was born in '64 and Don Knotts was comedy "Icon" by the time I was able to watch him on Andy Griffith. Later on, I knew he did the Disney movies with Tim Conway, etc. But "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" was something I wasn't aware of until the early 1990s. From my memory, the movie wasn't shown on TV, or if it was - not much. I think the concept would be lost on audiences of the 1990s to now. Obviously so. If so many actors and creators walked on the project....there's your proof. Plus, I don't think anybody wants to see Jim Carrey's face, let alone digitally scotch taped to an animated fish.
The full second test was found with audio (th-cam.com/video/ahjTClTCdjs/w-d-xo.html :) and oddly enough, the early cgi shark is more creeper than Jim Carrey's head on a fish Such a bummer the other two attempts didn't go though, those concept arts and storyboards are very neat (Also that Crusty test looks really cool and I love the way he walks)
Haha, the shark is certainly unsettling. I’m so glad that the full test was found. Fingers crossed we’ll also get to see the second Limpet test someday! Thanks for sharing.
It's remarkable how a single bad decision from the top can lead to a project's destruction. The decision to graft the star's photo-realistic face onto the fish's body, which might have seemed perfectly reasonable from some top executive's chair -- and a decision that, apparently they stuck with through countless directors and countless millions of development funds -- was a total "emperor-has-no-clothes" project killer that nobody was prepared to identity nor let go of. I've seen it -- in fact I've been there -- where the boss comes up with a "great idea" that dooms a project and draft after draft goes by and you just know -- nothing is ever going to save it.
The Don Bluth animated sequence in Xanadu set to 'Don't Walk Away' feels like a true Mr Limpet successor. And yeeeeah, that Jim Carrey-Fish looks like it crawled out of a HP Lovecraft story.
I love this video. Do you have more video of Jim Carrey unmade films that almost played like Six million dollar man, God of cookery, Used guys with Ben Stiller, Scooby doo in 1990s, plastic man and many videos upload please thanks.

Jim Carrey is out of his element trying to fill the... uh... fins of Don Knotts' title character in "The Incredible Mr. Limpet!" Thank the lucky starfish that they kept Carrey out of the water as well! He would have looked sillier than he does in real life!
I used to have the original on DVD. But this would’ve been interesting to see what the remake might’ve been. Wished there was some sort of documentary that would go more in-depth. And interviews with some of the animators who worked on it.

Also There's a chance for Jim to do Believe it or not film and others. Jim will definitely not retire yet. He can do some film just like he did for Sonic film.
Wow this looked... awful. The later incarnations looked a little better relying on strong characterization and art to do the heavy lifting but Im glad it didn't get off the ground
I sorta hope a remake of The Incredible Mr Limpet gets made at Warner Bros because the original deserves a lot more love and attention and is an underrated and mostly forgotten film
Glad the movie wasn't made, it would of bombed. As much as I liked Jim Carrey, his head on a fish body would of made it a scary movie. Hope he returned the money he received for accepting the role. Doubtful, he doesn't appear to be the kind of person too give money back.
Honestly though this is such a stupid movie to remake. It’s like if you re made the computer that wore tennis shoes like it’s so cheesy and stupid, and really is specifically something from the mid to late 60s family films. It’s not like fucking Batman or something cool like that, just leave the first one alone.
The movie itself was a story about him, they ended it perfectly to pick back up, he was training porpoises and they were getting smarter, go from there, don't remake it.
I didn't know about this Jim Carrey remake. The test footage looks like nightmare fuel.
god that clay sculpt is the stuff of nightmares

Now I see where the video game Seaman for the Dreamcast got its inspiration from.

Incredible research!
Thanks a lot. This made my day!
I don't know what is worse, this cancelled remake or gaither's pond

Woah I had no idea. I wish they mad the movie, I wonder who would play Mr. Limpet if they made it in 2023. Tom Cruise? Maybe bring back Carrey.
