Clear that people who skipped it in theaters bought it on home media.

Audiences never seen animation like this before. So films like New Groove, Atlantis & Treasure Planet felt old fashioned. TP was actually the only true flop up til that point. But post Pocahontas, Hunchback, Hercules & Mulan struggled as well. Hunchback & Hercules barley reach $100 million at the domestic Box Office. But it just wasn't 2D films at Disney Animation. When Disney jumped on the CGI bandwagon in 2005 Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons & Bolt all struggled just as the early 2000s 2D films did. If you look at the CGI giants today Pixar has been critized for sequels to Cars & Monsters Univerity, Blue Sky, outside of 4 Ice Age & 2 Rio films have nothing else. Then there is Dreamworks, who outside their franchises have lost $100s of millions on flops like Guadians, Turbo & Peabody.

I mean, it opened with $9m then crawled - slowly but surely - up to $89m, almost 10x the opening. It's just too bad the film didn't cover its costs. I heard that when it hit video, it did extremely well. Problem is, I guess most people didn't want to see it before it hit.Kyle Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368946953946959139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-45367699073075747492014-10-22T19:10:37.421-07:002014-10-22T19:10:37.421-07:00That's because they were bad movies.

I seem to remember that the audiences stayed away in droves from films like "The Emperor's New Groove" , "Atlantis" , "Treasure Planet" , which were not musicals . Non-musical "Lilo & Stitch" did well , critically and at the box-office, but other than that the non-musical films mostly flopped. <br /><br /> Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162612139500138953noreply@blogger.com
