* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' began its life as ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'', five shorts created by Creator/LaurenFaust for Creator/CartoonNetwork's [[UsefulNotes/BlockProgramming programming block]] WesternAnimation/DCNation. Faust went on to pitch the show as a full-on series to the network, but they [[https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/631976909866270720 turned it down]].

It was set to be greenlit in 2023 for a 2024 release as the 100th animated series from Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation, but the project was quietly shelved due to both the 2023 [[UsefulNotes/TVStrikes SAG-AFTRA strike]] and Bob Iger's return to Disney having a major effect on DTVA, disrupting all their future plans with a series order/renewal freeze.

** ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'', a Cartoon Network India original show, was pitched with Nickelodeon India in mind, thus Lamput's orange blobby design. At the time, Cartoon Network India was looking for original programming, thus the successful pitch there instead.
