CollegeHumor and Nintendo were working on a StarFox claymation project akin to The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Mission failed...

TV personality Adam Conover has not one, but two big stories to share with Nintendo fans. He shared new details on the Legend of Zelda/Netflix project that fell apart, but that's not his only secret. Turns out Nintendo was working on another animated feature with a different company altogether.

While most will know Adam Conover from the TV show Adam Ruins Everything, his first big break was at CollegeHumor. While he was working at that company, Conover says that CollegeHumor and Nintendo were partnering up for some sort of StarFox project. It seems this was a claymation feature, rather than a game. According to Conover, the feature was going to be similar in style to The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Why didn't this project ever see the light of day? Conover says the leaks of the Legend of Zelda live-action series with Netflix made Nintendo upset, so they not only cancelled those plans, but plans for other projects outside of games at that time. That means the StarFox claymation feature was a casualty of the whole Netflix situation.

It's a shame Nintendo decided to yank support, as this project sounds like it could have been really cool! You can hear the whole conversation about it at the 39:47 mark above.
