Was there NOT any Disney animated feature past 2005 that DID NOT go through a near-complete overhaul?? Geez, Disney! Step up your game!!
@Shota: Aladdin had a smoother production? They had to rewrite the script, cutting half the characters (including Aladdin's mother), redesign Aladdin, since the story was different they had to thrown out half the songs they already had (including a Jaffar musical number), two new script writers had to be brought on board (who would later pen the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie a decade later), then Howard Ashman died at the beginning of production, which was the same time production of Beauty of the Beast was finishing, and they were all worried because they were going to receive those animators and they still had no movie, and by the way, the final product was done in a one year and half.

I can't have you close, so I become a ghost and I watch you, I watch you.
40% of Meet The Robinsons was redone when Lasseter came into Disney.
Where is the video now?
I would be interested in finding it again too. I bookmarked it on Vimeo and then it was gone before I got back to it.
I understand The Princess and the Frog had a major course correction, too. They dropped a lot of (hopefully accidental) racism, and preproduction was well along when Lassiter took over and decided that Disney Feature Animation needed to do traditionally animated movies again, so they probably had to scrap some CGI-oriented character design. And then they marketed it horribly and it became the scapegoat for why they're never doing traditional animation again.

Are you saying The Princess And The Frog was going to be in CGI??
Still just awesome like that
Was there ever any doubt that it was probably initially planned that way?
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
...YES!!!!!! >:

From the way it sounds here, it must have been a pretty dark comedy when first pitched.

Dark comedy? 
I wonder if there's any way the Popol Vuh could ever be done as an animated movie.
I think too much of it was lost to be able to be completely adapted

Depending on what you mean by animated, it's been done. Not like a full Disney treatment, but there's a film where they animated the scenes from the still images. Saw it in one of my classes on the Mayans.
Add Bolt to that list. It's the reason Chris Sanders left Disney, among other things.
