Sony Pictures Animation Cancels Thai-Inspired Film After Two Years Director Shares Art and Details of the Project

Sony Pictures Animation has canceled a Thai-inspired animated film after over two years in development, as revealed by animator Matt Braly on Instagram. The project, co-written with Rebecca Sugar, was deemed commercially unviable despite its personal significance to Braly, who drew from his own experiences with chronic illness. The story centered on a teen boy navigating the world of Thai spirits to accept life-altering circumstances, aiming to celebrate Thai culture. While disappointed, Braly remains committed to creating meaningful stories in the future.
