In addition to film projects as director, Gilliam has been involved with developing projects for other artists and mediums. On 16 December 2010, ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' reported that Gilliam was to "godfather" a film called ''1884'', described as an animated [[steampunk]] parody of [[George Orwell]]'s ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'', with several former Pythons lending their voices to the project; Gilliam was to be credited as "creative advisor".<ref>Hopewell, John; Keslassy, Elsa (2010).

Fifteen years after the publication of Gilliam's ''Animations of Mortality'', between the release of the CD-ROM game ''[[Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time]]'' in 1994, which used many of Gilliam's animation templates, and the making of Gilliam's film ''[[Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (film)|Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas]]'' (1998), Gilliam was in negotiations with Enteractive, a software company, to tentatively release in the autumn of 1996 a CD-ROM under the same title as his 1978 book, containing all of his thousands of 1970s animation templates as licence-free [[clip art]]s for people to create their own [[flash animation]]s, but the project hovered in limbo for years,<ref>Cate, Hans ten (1996) [http://www.dailyllama.com/news/1996/llama020.html ''"Animations of Mortality:" Terry Gilliam's New Interactive CD-ROM Game''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002225155/http://www.dailyllama.com/news/1996/llama020.html |date=2 October 2023 }}.

Around the time of Gilliam's film ''[[The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus]]'' (2009), the project had changed into the idea of releasing his 1970s animation templates as a licence-free download of [[Adobe After Effects]] or similar files.{{Citation needed|date=February 2025}}
