Was going to make his director debut by directing the feature film Haunted Holiday for Warner Bros. Animation, that was going to have
Tim Curry as the voice of Baron Azuro and based on the famous ghost story "Bluebeard". But production was shut down by Warner Bros after the failure of
Quest for Camelot (1998) and the poor box office performance of
The Iron Giant (1999). After that, Ralph quit Warner Bros. Animation with
Brad Bird to join Pixar.
