A game based on the critically reviled, but at the time still in production, animated film "Foodfight!" got far enough into development that it received a playable demo at Take Two Interactive's booth at E3 2006. According to the marquee above the demo booth, it was scheduled to be released in Spring 2007 to coincide with the film's planned release at the time. Due to numerous production issues and distribution setbacks, the film would not see a release until 2012, but the game would never be seen again. The only known evidence of its existence is a short 8-second piece of B-roll footage captured on the E3 show floor, and saved by the now-defunct Quake fan website PlanetQuake4.net.
The game was initially developed by Midway Games West in 2001, when the film was in an earlier iteration, but aside from some released concept art, this version of the game was abandoned. The game shown at E3 2006 would have been a 3D platformer starring Dex Dogtective, and possibly would have featured voice work from at least some of the film's cast including Charlie Sheen (the voice of Dex), Eva Longoria, Hillary Duff and Wayne Brady. At this stage, it was expected to be published by Global Star Software (which would later be absorbed into 2K Games in late 2007) and released for the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, and PlayStation 2. It's not known who would have developed it. While the marquee showcases the logo for the development company Vicious Cycle, reported correspondence with a developer from the company claimed Vicious Cycle never had any involvement with the game.

I remember reading that this game was converted into the Flushed Away game - is there any actual evidence for that or is it just a gut feeling?
