A Doug [=TenNapel=] title is very easy to spot due to his love both of monsters and of utterly insane character designs.

* OldShame:
** [=TenNapel=] came to care less about the status of the reboot based on ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'' (the video game and the cartoon based on it) due to his not controlling the rights of the property. The video game is one of Doug TenNapel's favorite project, and the cartoon (despite being very funny and very memorable for a lot of people whose childhood was between 1995 and 1997) also served as a cheap tie-in for the video games. He eventually stated that he would be interested in revisiting Jim, but the rights are a tangled mess, and he likely wouldn't have the creative control needed to avoid the {{Executive Meddling}} that caused the above issues.
** The aforementioned ''Mothman'', which served as [=TenNapel=]'s first foray into [[PlayingAgainstType live action filmmaking]]. Though one version of it finished post production and was screened at Amblin Entertainment, he remains secretive about the status of the film.

* OldShame: [=TenNapel=] originally wanted nothing to do with ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'' (the video game and the cartoon based on it). The video game didn't come out the way he wanted it, and the cartoon (despite being very funny and very memorable for a lot of people whose childhood was between 1989 and 1999) was just a cheap tie-in for the video games. He eventually stated that he would be interested in revisiting Jim, but the rights are a tangled mess, and he likely wouldn't have the creative control needed to avoid the {{Executive Meddling}} that caused the above issues.
