    I've never seen it, but I did see the trailer all the time on movies I watched as a kid, and it never grabbed my attention much

      That's an entire subgenre of children's films from the VHS era. All the trailers you knew by heart but never the whole thing. Lotta Don Bluth films in that bin, maybe because of their vaguely threatening, taboo aura of 80's pervert filth that even a kid can pick up on.

    It's really really forgettable and mediocre.

    The only thing I remember about this movie was some weirdo who had an ED article who was obsessed with R34 of the fat guy

    High production budget. Seriously look at the estimated budget. It's hgiher than any other Disney animated feature by at least 20 million. It would have broke even at least in some respects had it a smaller budget but it was estimated at 140 million, without marketing costs. It lacks a clear target audience and like Atlantis isn't demographically targeted like Mulan, The Little Mermaid, etc.

      It only managed to make 109 million. It would've needed close to 300 million to break even.

        Yeah, a smaller budget wouldn't have helped much. It could've been profitable if the film cost 40 million instead, but slashing the budget from 140 to 40 would've resulted in an entirely different movie.

    It's not that great. The kid's age feels way off too. Like they were somehow aiming the film at a younger demographic than it should have logically been,

      This is much better.

      That's the second iteration though, the first one (picrel) had Amelia looking away and Dr. Doppler instead of Silver. I think it was used on the VHS release.

      This is much better.

      That one's beautiful.

    Too technical to hold kids attention. The scenes with the Doctor may as well be a foreign language .

    + great concept
    + fantastic art
    + fantastic setting
    - terrible plot
    - some deadweight / detracting characters
    - relatively niche appeal

      >- some deadweight / detracting characters

      too many wacky comic relief characters, and not like in a goofy ensemble way, like the professor guy and the gay robot serve basically the exact same role

      The fact that this is basically a Disney song is hilarious to me

    CGI started taking over and no one watched to see traditional animation anymore. If would be a Disney classic if it came out in the mid 90’s

    Honestly one of Disney's best. A shame they shoehorned in that shitty, unfunny, purposeless robot in the third act.

    Because it's not good. It had some cool ideas and potential, but overall was mediocre, same with Atlantis.

      Tbf, Disney always includes useless annoying characters that singlehandedly drag the movie down, especially around that era.

      Why do people complain about BEN so much? He's barely in the fricking movie.
