💣Biggest Animated Box Office Bombs💣 (ad-free version)

Hi boss! Thank you for helping make this video happen 😀 It seems like 2D animated movies were steamrolled in cinemas by Shrek and Toy Story coming along in the early 2000's, which changed animated history. My favourite bomb was probably Iron Giant from 1999. Wishing you safety, calm and peaceful moments this February from us in Australia.

Especially for family movies, it was $80 the last time I took the whole family to the theater versus $15 to buy a brand new movie on streaming or $10 to rent it

I still can't believe that Strange World bombed because I enjoyed it so much. As for the Wish AI rumors, I remember them being because it was around the time there were a lot of boycotts in Hollywood over AI to negotiate rules with different guilds. It didn't help that Wish sounded like the script had been generated by feeding every Disney script into AI to create a generic amalgamation instead of all Disney movies instead of being written by a human 🤷‍♀️

yeah it was.

LifeIsStrange

it was the same with me.

also surprised Treasure Planet wasn't on the list. Sad part is Disney basically sabotaged that movie as they didn't want to do 2-D anymore, someone who worked on the movie said that Disney deliberately gave the film a bad trailer and put it up against Chamber of Secrets knowing it would hurt it. So I disagree with the notion that audiences don't like 2-D anymore, they just wouldn't stand for low effort cash grabs like Quest for Camelot(which WB sadly used as an excuse to give a very limited release for the underrated "Cats Don't Dance") Execs always take the wrong lessens from failures it seems. Disney sees Winnie the Pooh and Princess and the Frog do poorly and goes "welp goes nobody likes 2-D anymore!" instead of "maybe we shouldn't put animated movies up against blockbusters like Avatar and Harry Potter".

That's literally what I do.

When these early 2000's and 1990's films came out, I was just a kid, and movie tickets weren't even remotely a priority in the family budget, especially after my parents got divorced around '97-'98.

Fun fact; It actually did but I ran out of time. I chatted about it for about 4 minutes originally but I didn't have a spare editor for it and the video was getting over-clogged XD I may still add it I'm not sure. I'm just going to have to put about 2 days worth of editing to add it XD Strange world also made hte list but I didn't have the editing help or the time myself to add it so far

Its too bad Titan A.E. didnt make the list. It such as failure that closed down Fox Animation studios and Don Bluth (i.e the guy behind Land Before Time and Secret of Nimh) quit making films after that failure that was Titan A.E. . I do recommended watching Saberspark's video on Titan A.E for more info.

Honestly i didn't totally hate Foodfight, i'd still rather watch it then Wish any day, not kidding in the slightest.

LifeIsStrange

Black Cauldron's failure was especially tragic as got it's ass-kicked by the fucking Care Bears movie(which was already in like it's fourth week of release).

LifeIsStrange

Mars Needs Moms is criminally underrated IMO and plenty of people like myself did want it, I thought the CGI looked great and not "Creepy" at all.

LifeIsStrange

Rescuers generally isn't considered one of the better Disney 70s, in general their 70s output isn't that fondly remembered as you could tell the company was still floundering around after Walt's death and struggling to find the right direction to go in.

LifeIsStrange

Charlie's Angels Full Throttle is a damn good movie, I would've loved to have seen that on the big screen

LifeIsStrange

Nowadays you mainly see 2D animation with the direct-to-video DC animated movies, those look pretty damn good.

LifeIsStrange

Lightyear also didn't do so hot because as AnMat pointed out by the time it came out Disney had trained people to expect movies to come out on streaming on Plus at the same time as theaters so a lot of people preferred to just wait until the film came to streaming

LifeIsStrange

Space Jam New Legacy is a good movie IMO

LifeIsStrange

Mr Enter's video on Wish perfectly sums up all the problems with it. Sure didn't feel like it was trying to innovate, just felt like a desperate cash grab with it's cringy attempts to tie together EVERY single Disney movie into a shared universe. The original vision for the movie sounded way better then the one we got, Disney was so obsessed with tieing the movie into other universes for it's 100th anniversary that the quality of the film badly suffered as a result. Plus the animation looks cheap and the musical numbers are among the worst they've ever done.

LifeIsStrange

Turning Red is a damn good movie in spite of the cliche and let's face it you're never gonna see a Disney movie with bad parents like that.

LifeIsStrange

"Lightyear" was meant to be an "In-Pixar Universe" movie, right? I still think before Andy was gifted Buzz and the action figures were undersold, it bombed and the retconned everything to do damage control

I didn't know the Space Jam sequel was longer than the first one

Really interesting video Strider! ❤️👍🏼
