- An unbuilt roller coaster at the Japan pavilion in Disney's Epcot theme park, based on Mount Fuji, would have included Godzilla or a similar creature menacing guests.[2] A separate unproduced project for Disney MGM Studios, the Creature's Choice Awards, would see Godzilla make his way to Walt Disney World to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award from Eddie Frankenmurphy and Elvira.
- In the ninth issue of Dark Horse's Godzilla comic, Godzilla attacks a parody of Disney World and Disneyland called Smile World.
- ImageMovers Digital, a joint venture between Disney and ImageMovers, announced a giant monster film titled Calling All Robots in 2008,[3] with Michael Dougherty directing. The film was one of several projects cancelled in 2011 when ImageMovers dissolved. Dougherty would later direct the MonsterVerse film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, released in 2019.
