Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls
One of the wacky ideas floated by Hammer Films in 1971 but never developed beyond a sweet poster was 'Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls.' People have said it's tragic this movie was never made. Now tragically it has been made, a mashup of public domain cliffhanger serials and old movies. It has been touted as an original concept but apparently some of the cut scenes have been proven false without a doubt

The cartoon apparently was shelved for half a century due to a three way legal dispute between Republic, Fleischer and Iwerks.

All bullshit of course.
