The problem is that you CAN'T make a real movie out of the footage that Williams had finished - no footage of Tack and the Princess was animated after the middle of the movie. So your protagonists vanish halfway through.
I'd be curious to see it, though. This gives me an excuse to actually try to write Bob Zemeckis.

Perhaps it did use unfinished animation (pencils only... as seen in the Calvert WIP), not fully photographed work? I guess it would be possible to work around stuff that remained in storyboard form, but it would also mean a lot of finished work would be cut out (namely a lot of the brigands and the witch). Although, it looks like only a little over three minutes of the film were fully photographed within those three months between the June workprint and the September workprint (both 1992) so he'd only have about 65 minutes of finished footage to work from.
