Commercial/critical failures that are actual kinos
I'M STILL HERE
Disney spent very little effort marketing these, and in the case of treasure planet, actually gave away the "twist" that whatshisface was a badguy in the trailer.
>"The bad guy from the old book that Disney adapted twice in live action before this Space version is the bad guy" is a spoiler
moron
>its a children's movie
>aka a movie for people who werent alive when those movies were made
Treasure Planet came out like five years after the Muppet Treasure Island with Tim Curry you dumb zoomer. Long John Silver is also THE fictional evil pirate who basically invented the entire stereotypical pirate accent and has a shitty fast food joint named after him.
>all kids like muppets and animation
It takes zero effort to not spoil it
>NOO YOU CAN'T SPOIL THE HECKING KIDS MOVIE BASED ON A 120 SOMETHING YEAR OLD BOOKARINO
Nobody gave a shit about spoiling animated movies until they started doing real twist villains with Frozen and even then, Disney still continues to put out tie-in storybooks well before theatrical release just as they have done for decades before.
Again: it takes zero effort to spoil it. I don't see why you're making this such a hill to die on
And I don't see why you think this spoiling this killed the marketing.
I don't. I just think it was unnecessary effort for zero benefit from any standpoint, particularly artistic
Not catering to morons is a virtue in itself. gbtr if you're afraid of spoilers for 20+ year old movies.
Kys
Silver is always the bad guy in treasure island adaptations though. he's... just, like, the bad guy, man.
In the OG Stevenson Treasure Island, The fact that Silver is a pirate is a twist despite him having one leg, earrings, a fricking parrot and all that piratey shit. Now any adaptation has him obviously as a pirate because those tropes were inVENted by stevenson
The biggest problem with the Treasure Planet commercials were the heavy focus on the obnoxious robot that doesn't show up until around the end of the movie.
>the "twist"
bro it's fricking treasure island
I get these two mixed up
This one still hurts.
This was a failure? Really? Damn... it´s one of my favorite Robbin Williams movies along with Jumanji.
IDK if these ones failed but i do know they are forgotten kino
>Dragonheart
>The pagemaster
>Sinbad: Legend of the seven seas
>Avalon (2001)
Kino of the highest order
Saw both in theaters, even had the atlantean israeliteel toy thing from macdonalds. I asked my mom about whether we saw Treasure Planet in theaters and she told me 2 or 3 times because I liked it so much. I had the vhs and everything. It's crazy how many movies I enjoyed as a kid that ended up being financial failures turned cult classics. I saw fricking Sky captain and the world of tomorrow in theaters
I sometimes hate the fact that when I look at my interests, I'm a painfully total hipster. It's like I have some hidden hipdar that tells me before I know a single thing about the movie if it's popular or not, and if it isn't I love it. It sucks because everything I like doesn't get a goddamn continuation even if it needs one.
I used to be like that, but seeing Pitchfork fall, plus streaming and piracy opening up the ability to try as much media as I wanted without having to pay made me more willing to explore new things.
pure kino
I don't understand how this was poorly received
AND I WANNA MOMENT TO BE REAL!
These are my favorite Disney films too. Was incredibly sad to learn Disney made them flop on purpose.
In my mind these are all the same movie. My kid mind couldn't keep them separate, and the memories are very old now and mixed together.
Don't forget Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, and The Road to El Dorado in that lineup haha.
I didn't actually see spirits within or sinbad until I was an adult, and road to el dorado was always "that movie where the girl sucks the guy's dick" so it was quite distinct in my mind.
Still, I love all six of those movies.
That lineup is kino and six of my favourite animated films.
boring movies that look cool
>boat kino
>flops
only titanic succeeded
>wes anderson
>kino
choose only one
you should watch it, it's easily his best movie, impossible to dislike
legendary myerskino
Get him out of zee fricking water
>hasn't seen fantastic mr fox
i read the book as a kid and there's no way a wes anderson movie would ever do it justice.
it's a cute little movie, but I've never read the book
I want to frick that cat
I found it to be very bland
This one's kino. My favorite version of treasure island
came here to post these
>BTW: why didn't picrel succeed?
I think it's due to it being part of a time when disney original movies were quite experimental in what they wanted to be. from 1999 till 2001 they released, in order: tarzan, fantasia 2000, dinosaur, the emperor's new groove, atlantis. and that's ignoring pixar movies, this is the time when pixar's dick riding was starting to go full throttle. tarzan was the last one they made in a while that was a musical (fantasia doesn't count) and it already veered in a more "adult" direction with phil collins singing almost all of the songs. atlantis was in an akward position not having songs at all and being quite more adult oriented, I do remember people making a big thing of the death count this movie has - which is indeed fricking high for a disney movie. probably didn't resonate with kids
most of the issue atlantis had apply here, plus people were probably "burnt" by altantis already. still a pity, both movies deserved better.
this movie gets extremely boring as soon as peter meets the lost boys. luckily hoffman and hoskins carry it hard
it had like 6 stories and none of them were interesting. the "connected" destinies gimmick was gay and pointless. I see what they were going for but it was a huge wet fart
fricking great movie and much better than akira imo. even if for some reason you hate the plot, the animation is absolutely stunning
massively overhated by plenty of people with very moronic criticism all around. the only objectively moronic thing is the SAVE MARTAH moment.
there is an ungodly amount of impregnation porn of that cat thing
i watched both of these this week.
both of them are great.
>The theme park kino we could have gotten from this
They were actually gonna turn the submarine ride at Disneyland into something based off Atlantis but stopped for a few years then made it shit Nemo frick instead
FRICK Finding Nemo (kino teaser though)
>imagineer
>edutainer
why do companies do this?
why the masks? they couldn't have found a graying moustache guy and a fat greasy frenchman?
Cartoonier looking humans getting the mask treatment is fairly common. Sometimes you have mask characters getting face character versions for special ticketed events like some of the villains, but the only character that was converted permanently from a mask character to a face character I can think of is the Mad Hatter.
wtf, why didnt they just put a wig and fake mustache on for the french guy?
Imagine the outcry a blatant suicide joke in a kids movie would generate now
Considering it was done in an blatantly silly way, I don't think anyone would care.
>BRO WHAT IF THING BUT IN CURRENT DAY
you are not capable of enjoying anything because of your #current_day cerebrum.
Not true, I enjoyed your mom last night
Frickin' REKT.
not really underappreciated. it was the 4th biggest movie release of 1991 and pretty much every millennial alive considers it a classic.
it's really a mediocre movie with a lot of...well, just plain junk, but Dustin Hoffman gives an immortal performance and Bob Hoskins is always a treat
>I want to die
>there is no adventure here
kek
deja vu I've been in this thread before
Well, no shit.
moronic critics who can't complete the cuphead tutorial also cant handle a movie with 6 subplots
it wasnt heavily advertised so that was enough to doom it
My gf dragged me to this so I got stoned (DUDE) but still found it very easy to follow, including the dialect they used in some scenes. Cool movie, amazed they didn't shove troon propaganda into it.
it was humanist catnip, you're supposed to work out that you should be kind and tolerant to trannies on your own by watching it
>amazed they didn't shove troon propaganda into it
uh, did you fall asleep during the homosexual subplot
I loved Cloud Atlas
Watched with family
>mfw they ask 'what did they miss, what's going on here?'
>mfw i had to Pidgeon English explain the true true
i dont remember what the plot youre referring to was supposed to be. either i missed it or it was so simple i didnt realize it was something that could be missed
there's not much of an overarching plot, it's 6 different movies in 1 except they all relate to one another. the "plot" is that the movies connect together eg. the cavendish movie in seoul
this was a failure? I'm surprised, I thought it had all the ingredients to be a success. I find it to be a very cozy movie, and it has a great score
$130M box office on an estimated 100-147M budget, 66% critic and audience on rotten tomatoes
>moronic critics who can't complete the cuphead tutorial also cant handle a movie with 6 subplots
>it wasnt heavily advertised so that was enough to doom it
i likeded it and im certified 'tarded
I tried to watch as a kid, but when the gay guy showed up, I got disgusted and scared and never watched it again.
Shit, was about to post this. What a great movie.
>the only thing greater than their passion for Ameirca... was their passion for each other.

fed shills with the same ol handbook.
Is it bad I thought this was An Officer and a Gentleman at first?
Nah this is genuine slop. It's a really gaudy tasteless western and the characters have zero depth.
never heard of it but based on the poster it seems like the gayest thing ever imagined
Every film bro has their Heaven's Gate phase, but I grew out of it. It's a beautiful mess, but still a mess, the worst case scenario of auteur theory gone awry. There are moments of real inspiration here and there, but Cimino lacked discipline. I think some of the more inflammatory gossip and critical spitefulness that contributed to the movie's reputation is obviously unfair, but a lot of the more substantial critiques were always correct.
It is a beautiful movie worth seeing atleast once. but is it kino? perhaps
I gave it a chance and its actually shit
The Black Hole (1979)
classic
That movie is so bizarre. At times, it's extremely serious and dark, almost to the point of being a "space horror" movie. But then there's these cartoony robots with silly voices that seem completely inconsistent with the rest of the tone.
Yeah it kinds struggles to find its identity but there are some really cool aspects to it
Well yeah, they needed R2-D2s for their Star Wars cash-in. And hell, why not make one British so they can do double duty as C-3PO.
Movie was pretty metal. It's the premise for the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland.
Nah, it came out several years after Space Mountain opened, but George McGinnis, one of the Imagineers who worked on Space Mountain and Horizons concept art, was a production designer for Black Hole.
I was in love with that blonde chick as a kid. Also pic related. Yeah it wasn’t as culturally relevant as akira but its still a good movie. People HATED it when it came out, but there is nothing wrong with.
Critics seem to hate kino settings and world building for some reason.
It requires them to actually pay attention
Critics tend to pan Steampunk settings, gotta say I agree, it's a hard genre to like
mommy
They were going to bring her back in a planned sequel as well as a gas mask wearing cyborg leading a bunch of mercenaries or nazis to Atlantis
zamn
The worst lancashire accent i ever heard i dont know why they got an american to do it, her saying "grandfather" still haunts my soul
The Thing
I like the movie but chicks always say I look like Milo so I'm not sure what to think.
Niel solved sci-fi but does nothing with his talent.
That was mostly ruined by pushing Die Antword too hard. The band/actors are fine, they just took up waaaay too much of the screentime. I think it could've been edited/written slightly better.
Still their best work if it counts for anything
When I watched it, I had no idea they were an actual band playing themselves. Such a weird thing to put in a movie.
I never actually saw it, but the lady's magical fairy voice in the trailers intrigued me slightly.
I'm still mad he didn't get to make a Halo movie. I'm not someone who needs liscened media productions, but if anyone could've actually captured the thematic of Halo in live action it was him. Frick I love District 9
I thought the trailer for District 9 was for a Halo movie because the prawn mech happened to look so similar to a Hunter.
I've always heard that he was actually in talks to direct a Halo movie, but it fell through after they made some props so they just repurposed them for District 9. It'd make some sense, since the weight and feeling of a lot of the future tech there wouldn't be out of place in Halo.
i'm still patiently waiting for the sequel to district 9
I love the tech in that one and Elysium, it's a shame the director is an obnoxious communist. But such is life.
>the director is an obnoxious communist.
I’ve heard convincing arguments for Blomkamp being a crypto far-righter, why do you say he’s a communist?
>muh lobsters (moron immigrants) are le good!
>muh social security for everyone (including the shit that makes earth so shitty)!
must be some sort of white south african guilt or wahtever
One day anon. I'm hopeful.
fell off after district 9
Surprised this wasn't brought up sooner, wish it atleast got a shitty TV spin-off
That was legitimately bad. I finally got around to watching it after all the "hidden gem!" posts but man it's half-baked.
This. Titan AE is very nice to look at but its plot sucks.
I recently rewatched and have to say, its not really good. I have a lot if nostalgia for it but I can see why this flopped.
beat me to my post
it's dogshit bro
This movie didn't exist in my previous reality so when everyone was talking about it, I had to look it up.
beat my meat to those alien gaping hips so much, something about characters with grand canyon thigh gaps. Also Mars needs moms was another centaur style character.
reading up on this and man i feel bad for Don Bluth. He always got shat on by the industry.
the whole trilogy is great, but I think of the three man of steel best hits all the marks for being considered a masterpiece
No Final Fantasy?
Probably because it's really crap.
Spirits Within was awesome. Still like to rewatch it. The Deep Eyes were badass and the dead city was cool
Advent Children is kino and one of the few blurays I own
The initial teaser was great but I found the final product to be too Disney-fied. Still, I wish we got more or I hope some other studio gets the rights to do something with it.
what a shitty name for a movie
also the dominating skylines in the ads really made this look like it was gonna be terrible low effort cgi slop
I enjoyed it but I get why it failed. Most of the actors gave very little energy to it.
I rewatched that, including the director's cut. Both versions are still a slog to get through and not the second movie for your cinematic universe. I still think Henry Cavill would have made a good Superman if he was given anything to work with.
Whose dick was the lead sucking? biggest charisma void EVER, genuinely was the downfall of the whole movie. the script was fine, but there was nothing engaging about him.
Atlantis is stupidly rushed. It really doesn't work because of that. Usually I'm someone that thinks more movies should be trimmed, shorter, edited down, but Atlantis would have been much better as a 6-episode miniseries. Same with that godawful "Raya" movie disney put out a few years back.
I have never understood why this movie failed. I still have some memorable scenes I remember a decade after.
woudlve succeeded with the "A Princess of Mars" But John Carter just sounded too fricking vanilla for people who had no idea about the story.
>beautiful shots
>interesting story/characters
>great cast
The only reason nobody saw it is probably because its about climbing a mountain (which is pretty gay I admit)
>The only reason nobody saw it is probably because its about climbing a mountain (which is pretty gay I admit)
N
Saw it because of the cast. It isn't that good, and the CG on the mountain is so not it for a movie made in what was it 2014? Had some decent moments, it's a 3/5 worth watching with your parents on like a sunday but would not call it kino
Is this the crippling autism thread?
ai generated garbage
This didn’t flop at the box office (or did it?) but I feel nobody ever mentions it when talking about disney classics. Its my fav disney movie, has a fantastic soundtrack and beautiful animation. Probably the last truly great disney movie
I see you're a Phil Collins fan.
The music video for Strangers Like Me is still peak 90s music
Love me some phil
Not a huge Phil Collins fan, but God this movie is incredibly pretty.
>Alright Mr. Collins its a kids film about Tarzan and Jane from that old series so nothing too big but we'd love for you to be a part of this
>I WANNA KNOW CAN YA SHOW ME! I WANNA KNOW ABOUT THESE STRANGERS LIKE ME!
People b***h about the concept of 'oscar bait' songs from that era in particular, but what's the problem? They get their egos stoked, we get amazing songs. Screw it
The problem is when the song ends up being the only thing that’s amazing.
Never saw the movie but this was one of the only games I played on pc as a kid
watched it all the time on tape as a kid
Legitimately one of the worst animated movies of all time. 10 year old me sat through anything knights or swords, but even he found this a chore to sit through. Frick Devon and frick Cornwall too.
I HAVE A PLAN
IT INCLUDES YOU!
>duo made up of a skinny ditzy guy and a short fat danny devito type
goddamn this was so overdone in that era
>This didn’t flop at the box office (or did it?)
it did about half billion. I dunno what the budget was but it's pretty much on the level of all the highest successes they had in the 90s
it's an alright movie. but one thing is having a likeable villain, one thing is the villain being the only likeable character in the movie
The film received generally negative reviews but grossed $300.2 million worldwide against a budget of $160–170 million.
doesn't sound like a flop to me but probably grossly underperformed compared to what they expected. a fricking shame, for how dumb it was it delivered on many fronts, starting from the monster designs
Waterworld was good. People don't even bother giving it a chance because it's such a reputable bomb, they assume it's a shitty movie when really it was just way too fricking expensive to make.
It's pretty good honestly. I think the main problem is it's a okay to good movie when it was unbelievably expensive.
The villain is the only person with charisma in the whole thing though. Sometimes I think the issue with a bunch of these movies is low energy actors in a bunch of main roles.
absolutely
Dennis Hopper was kino but I cannot take Costner seriously as a badass action hero. One of my least favorite actors.

ludacris didn't work on waterworld tho.
You didnt watch carefuly, he was in tanker bowels, but i agree, it was kinda hard to see him swiming in the oil.
I always sleep 3/4 into waterworld.
I came out gay to parents after watching this film
Madds Mikkelsen Kino
Green Knight was a weird sequel to this.
Given Cinemaphile's reaction to Green Knight, I was expect some kind of wokefest, but in reality it was a fairly standard inoffensive medieval fantasy movie.
Sublime cast wasted on a shit movie. Also Mads is barely in it
Explain IN DETAIL why King Aurthur (2004) is a shit movie.
even if you do I’ll still love it
Thought this was kino as a kid but I'm scared to rewatch in case it's actually trash
This. Crowe Hood. Cosner Hood. Men in Tights. Even the old Disney furry edition. Something about Robin Hood just brings out the kino. I'm all for Lionheart and Dragonheart, but the upbeat whimsy of a Robin Hood story seems to have a magic in itself. I think Knight's Tale became a success by capturing that feeling.
Woops, the movie you posted isn't the one I was thinking of. It doesn't fit with that last at all.
Despite most people having only seen it on MST3K I think this is a legitimately good movie with fun characters. Better than some James Bond movies from around the same time imo.
everything in this thread except The Thing (and I have no idea about Steamboy so I suspend judgement; then again, Akira was only good for its art direction anyway)...is some degree of trash and deserve their low levels of appreciation
One of my fav eps was the ep where Dick gets addicted to the interent while Sally and Tommy keep one uping on a home theater setup.
Was on tv all the time this was somewhat popular.
Frick off, shill.
Anon, the conflict in that movie was so contrived.
>bad guy wants to steal from planets connected to Carol
>in the end Carol just restarts their sun and a side comment mentions helping them
Basically if the villain wasn't a b***h and just asked for help, no one had to die
Couldn't agree more. It's fricking weird that Blah Lorson shills and simps pop up out of the fricking woodwork every damn time. And also that mods ban your ass for saying she's a talentless hag with a gross body, Lego head, and shitty attitude.
See yous in 3 days.
There's nothing wrong with being gay in 2024. But reddit spacing has to go.
The full version of this is really good. It looks like she has tiny babby legs
Ha! Love it.
Even with legs that tiny, her flippers should reach the past the front of shot.
No, but the original is borderline kino in retrospect. They somehow, someway made it appear soulful in comparison.
>less CGI green screen
>less diversity and characters in general
there you go
brrr lazer being an unlikable c**t in all the promo shit and pushing to much "girl power" nonesense made me hate her and not want to watch this, when I did I found it to be a pretty fun movie stand alone but considering its supposed to be a part of the MCU and so many stupid plot points def didn't help it
the israelites dont want goyim thinking about ancient civilizations
Just post the Doja Cat webm already.
What?
loved this one
didn't watch but I watched a recap of it on youtube, heist kinos are usually kino even this mom-movie
It killed the studio behind it

How Disney's 'Atlantis' Took From 'Nadia: Secret of Blue Water'
Frick off weebshit. Wrong board
Funny how you never see this level of seethe when jap cartoons and movies blatantly copy from western sources.
I've met weebs who actually think japs created animation and that the west rips off anime all the time.
They disregard western (or other eastern) animation like some rabid cult.
Hate them narrow-minded fricks.
both are good and it's a nice trope I don't give a shit
I like both.
I don't care if Disney didn't pull off the ''We didn't even know the existence of Kimba anime'' card and admitted they took some inspiration
America acts like a literal clonianialist to Japan from time to time and even sjws defend it
Strong contender for my favorite movie of all time.
>came out in the same year as star wars

It was too different from the established disney formula. Families stayed away and critics are always frustrated when something defies easy categorization.
>the Cubs are so terrible, a literal child can help them win the pennant.
Pure kino
Kinda insane that Disney so blatantly ripped off Gainax's IP Nadia.
Anno didn't invent Jules Verne or the concept of Atlantis having magical energy crystals.
But he did invent the Nadia design that Disney very clearly ripped off.
>Atlantis completely ripped off Nadia!
>Ok it's not a 1:1 ripoff but the art designs are totally plagiarized from Nadia!
>Ok the similarities aren't that striking on closer examination but...
Disney was too busy autistically studying Hellboy comics and creating complicated diagrams of how Mike Mignola draws hands before deciding to just go "Frick it, let's just hire him to work on the movie" to watch Gainax slop.
Oh yeah bro my favorite part from Jules Verne's famous novel is the part where the brown girl has a special crystal that's connected to Atlantis. Disney was very lore accurate lifting that one from the book!
>ONLY ANNO COULD INVENT A MAGICAL Black WOMAN
>yeah bro it's just a total coincidence that both this anime from 20 years prior and animated disney movie have these two really specific special core themes in common while both are also connected to Jules Verne's work Disney was totally being original bro
It's not like Anno himself took the "girl gets levitated by the magic crystal" imagery from Laputa or anything...
Weebs do this shit all the time, they have a massive inferiority complex when it comes to Hollywood, they want desperately for western media to acknowledge anime as a valid artform but pretend to be offended when western media is influenced by anime in whatever way because white knighting is more psychologically gratifying to weeb cumbrains.
Annogays also act like he doesn't wear his influences on his sleeves. Like how American Eva dickriders never picked up on the Ultraman stuff until a few years ago.
I can't be the only one...
i liked it
as expected from the master
>why didn't picrel succeed
2D was a dying medium at the time, and it was completely overshadowed by 2001 being one of the biggest years in kino to ever happen.
That movie sucks ass thoughever.
pretty terrible movie, but I respect that the prostitutes will smith fricks in the movie are all black women and not white women.
>pretty terrible movie
You all have no soul
Hell yeah, brother.
>it's the fricking mario movie poster flipped upside down

Kino of the highest order. The miniature work is amazing, the acting is good, writing good enough.
apparently they wanted to make it into a franchise
One of my favorite adventure flicks. I would have loved a whole series of movies about Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn going around the world on treasure hunting adventures with a new babe each movie. Not something they'll ever make today.
I remember enjoying the hell out of this. They just don't like making swashbuckling kino anymore. Beats me
Did you also like the league of extraordinary gentlemen? I sort of lump them together
>Did you also like the league of extraordinary gentlemen?
Oh, you're like me, then?
What the frick is wrong with everyone else?
saw it on youtube for free with ads. forgettable mummy wannabe. some okay moments. not kino
You obviously didn’t see it. It’s based on a Clive Cussler Novel. There was sand in both movies. I guess that makes them the same.
They made raise the Titanic in the 80s with dick Jordan and Jason robards. Was kino as frick. Cussler has a cameo.
Reminder that everyone that was on the Titanic was against the creation of the FED.
Rewatched this a few years ago and was surprised by how good it was. A genuinely well made disaster kino.
that boiling water scene spooked me hard as a kid
Yeah this baffles me as to why it flopped. Always thought it was kino. Maybe I was just in love with Kate Beckinsale
It just has everything for me. A unique and kino Frankenstein portrayal, the best werewolf form put to screen and an incredibly fun Dracula performance.
To me, it's my perfect Halloween film. Watch it every year.
Based. I remember finding the first vampire wife who died really hot
The opening 10 minutes of this are extremely kino and make me want a modern day Frankenstein movie in black and white
have you not seen the kenneth branagh frankenstein?
My brother. Pure kino, unashamed fun.
All my favourite movies as a kid were apparently flops, like Treasure Planet, Atlantis, and Sinbad.
Probably because you were a kid or young teen around the time where animation peaked, but was expensive compared to live action so Shrek shreked the entire industry
I was born in 1997, so those three movies came out back to back when I was 4,5, and 6.
Sinbad is nothing great. Just a forgettable kids movie.
I'm not the only who watched this kino right?
Aardman is always kino.
I went through all the Dreamworks movies a few years ago. This was one of the more fun ones.
>why didn't picrel succeed?
It's a movie aimed at boys and by the time it came out Michael Eisner had already turned Disney (or at least Disney animation) into a "girl brand" with all the princess shit.
Feels like a play at times, but for what is clearly a fairly low budget and old school production, they pull off a great biopic
ah yes, sir ben kenobi fighting englands greatest enemy, their own countrymen. i only watched it somewhat recently seeing a webm on the /teevee/ and loved it
I saw this a couple years ago and it was great. Really highlighted how stupid the British are.
The Leviathan was so fricking cool, bros
That's an odd choice of side characters to include in the movie poster
>Josh Holloway’s first post Lost project

I saw this for the first time last year and it really is kino, I didn't know it wasn't a success.
John Carter: failed by marketing (“No, we cannot have Mars in the title, other (shitty) movies with Mars in the title failed recently, that means people are not interested in movies with Mars in the title! Let’s just call it John Carter, people will surely know that it’s not a biographical movie about a guy they never heard of, probably an accountant in Alabama. Oh, and let’s make sure we don’t mention it’s based on the books of the author of Tarzan, and influenced every sci-fi adventure in the last century, including Star Wars, nobody needs to know that!”) and production issues (Andrew Stanton went way over the original budget, because he didn’t realize that directing a live action movie is a tiny bit different from animation, and the casting could have been better). Imagine this coming out ten years earlier, with the title “John Carter and the Princess of Mars”, starring prime Johnny Depp or Keanu Reeves and Salma Hayek or Catherine Zeta Jones, and directed by, I don’t know, anyone who had experience with directing live action blockbusters and staying on budget.
If Anno wasn't involved, we would be more honest in admitting that Atlantis plagiarized Nadia.
kinda of obscure movie but very fun
I liked the breast expansion scene.
I went in ready to dislike this but you simply don't like movies if you don't like Robert Rodriguez.
If it didn't have those moronic big eyes it would be a very good adaption.
my brother was obsessed with this movie for reasons i still dont really understand

Recently watched The Cell directors cut. Film was shafted by critics at the time but genuinely feel it could become a cult classic.
It is a cult classic. Even got parodied on this year's Superbowl Half-Time Show.
why did they have to go woke and make the sultan a homoesexual ABCDLMNOP
this was made by like one guy
i just want to point out that most of these movies were made due to the thing studios do where they try to capitalize on a similar movie that is being released
>did you hear that disney is making some arabian underdog story? we should do something like that
>hey i hear that paramount is making some doomsday movie, we should do one too
>universal is making a volcano movie, do we have any scripts for something like that?
occasionally both movies succeed on the basis of being unique, but often one just seems like a lesser version of the other.
Why are you implying Cobbler ripped off Aladdin and not the other way around?
you're right
but aladdin won
also matthew broderick murdered people
My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies were released at the same time as a double bill and it was a huge commercial failure too. Ghibli was about to die.
They were saved by tv showing it repeatedly afterwards.
I crashed my car into a bridge
I don't care
I love it
I still can't understand why they haven't made a Atlantis live action movie. It checks the diversity boxes they are required to check plus it's a very good story.
Based n that pic, it kind of looks like a cheap Disney knock off more than it looks like a real Disney movie.
it's better than a lot of disney movies
Unleashed was a straight-to-video sequel to Ginger Snaps and it's a shame because the movie deserved more commercial success
