When he said The Mummy was a terrible movie, I about had a heart attack. And then I realized he was talking about the 2017 film and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Treasure Planet failed because audiences didn't want 2D animation" Treasure Planet failed because it ran at almost no cinemas & had little if any advertising. There's not a kid I knew growing up who didn't love it but the studio seemed to hate it
Treasure planet not doing well because people didn't want to see 2d movies kinda makes sense because of how well dreamworks and especially Pixar were doing but at the same time Spirited away made like 300 million and howl's moving castle made like 200 million and those were both distributed by Disney at the time, so i feel like there has to be many other factors.
treasure planet was probably my favorite movie as a kid. i really related to the main character, my dad wasn’t home much and i just did my own thing while my mom worked her ass off to help me while my dad was busy working. i always dreamed of going on some big adventure away from the small town i was stuck in. i watched that movie probably a million times when i was a kid, good memories.
Mars Needs Moms was a really depressing movie around the point where Gribble gave his backstory. He literally watched his own mother get vaporized in front of him, dooming him to hide in the trash disposal for decades with no ounce of affection or human interaction. The acting of his character was solid because I tear up every now and then when I see that scene.
It's so fucking great to hear Charlie talk so highly about Treasure Planet. That movie still remains an absolute staple in my childhood. It's a core memory for me.
Turning Red being a flop makes sense when you take into consideration that Disney released it as another Straight to Disney+ film. it's like Disney actively wants to prevent Pixar from succeeding.
Moonfall feels like you're watching an apocalypse movie and when you're about halfway there ur instantly watching the entirety of the star wars saga. Its a true masterpiece
Treasure Planet is one of the main reasons I became a pilot. I have seen the movie so many times and every time I watch it now, all I can rememeber is the feeling of going to a faraway place, discovering new things and realizing that I accomplished my dreams I had when I watched that movie as a kid.
Disney movies like Atlantis, Treasure Planet and John Carter are so underrated that they did not deserve to flop and the reason why they did was because Disney didn’t have much faith in them, saw them as a distraction and wanted to move to the next big thing that’s popular like CG animation or Star Wars.
