ROUGHED UP is a series of deep dives into media with complicated pasts and productions. Here, we look at how and why some less-than-stellar projects turned out the way they did, and how they managed to stray so far from their original visions.

Today we look at AMERICAN DOG, Chris Sanders' ambitious follow-up to 2002's Lilo & Stitch, and how it was broken down and built back up into the far more conventional BOLT. This video covers the development history of AMERICN DOG, providing a timeline of its coverage and production materials to show how and why we never got to see this Edward Hopper-inspired road movie.
