Do animated animal films ever bomb? They kinda feel like a cheat code.
Animated films are a 2-hour window for parents to not have to deal with their children.
Films are also often how kids form ideas about how the world works.
Parents can talk about how the world works, but films show them how it works (or teaches them lies if you're not careful)
Think of the impact films like Star Trek, Jurassic Park, 101 Dalmations, and Surf Ninjas have had on our society.
And don't even get me started on Shrek... Akch! What a load of flush [Somebody!]
That’s why my kids are only allowed to watch Paul Verhoeven films.
Lol!
Didn't that last Disney original bomb?
Zootopia 2? It made $1.8+ billion.
Zootopia 2 is not a Disney original... It's a sequel?
I meant Elio. Budget was 150-200 million, vox office 154 million.
Is that an animal film...?
I don't even know, there was very little marketing. I think it's aliens
They're mermaids, IIRC. So half alien half animal? 🤷♂️
Edit: Wrong movie... I hadn't even heard of Elio, apparently.
