Disney's sketches and celluloid images that did not make the cut to be featured in movies will be released to the public. 

Curated by film historian Daniel Kothenschulte from the Disney Archives and Animation Research Library, a book entitled "The Walt Disney Film Archives: The Animated Movies 1921-1968", will include “hundreds of projects that they didn't complete”, including “many unknown and unfinished” ones starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, the Daily Mail reported.

The book, slated for release on Oct. 1, will also reveal sketches for a planned film about American folk hero Davy Crockett and the Donald Duck movie. “You open up pastel drawings that are still rolled up, and all this colored dust appears on the table," said Kothenschulte. "This film was developed pretty far. There are beautiful color storyboards, pastels that give you a view of the whole film. Those have never been published anywhere.”

The early illustrations of famous film scenes are reportedly quite detailed. There are also rare pictures taken by Disney photographers and excerpts from story conferences between Walt and his staff that provide an exclusive insider's view to the studio's creative process. Each of the major animated features made during Walt Disney's lifetime, which includes "Pinocchio", "Fantasia", "Dumbo", "Bambi", "Cinderella", "Peter Pan", "Lady and the Tramp" and "One Hundred and One Dalmatians", is given its own focus chapter.

Apparently sketches from the early years are hard to come by, as in the past Disney officials saw no purpose in saving the cells and backgrounds, so they would discard or sell them. Most have gone to collectors or the cells have been washed and reused; during the war, and in later years, they just threw them away.

Kothenschulte is also publishing the full dialogues from story notes collected during meetings Walt held with his staff, recorded by stenographers over many hours. "Walt was the key story-man, as you can see, but everyone had an opinion. It was a very open discussion."

John Lasseter, the executive producer of "Big Hero 6" and "Zootopia" who is currently directing "Toy Story 4", is also involved in the creation of the book, for which he wrote the introduction: "Walt created a unique kind of entertainment, made you feel alive to the specialness and magic of the world – and he did it by always learning, always changing, always looking to the new."
