Maybe if Disney inserted a gay theme, the film would have worked. LOL.

I don't put it past Disney to 'insert a gay' anything.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't half the problem simple demographics?
Disney cartoons did best when the baby boomers were kids.
The made a comeback in the late 80s, early 90s, when the boomers started having kids of their own, and the "baby boomlet" started.
Now the boomlet is aging into older fare.
So there's no ready made audience for their big budget cartoons.

Has anyone here seen Treasure Planet? What did you think?
To: Liz
It was a -stupid- idea: Treasure Island in space. Oh yeah.
Maybe the Japanese could have done it in 'anime' style. I dunno.

3-D landscapes and vehicles don't interact well with 2-dimensional representations of characters. Computers may automate the process but it just doesn't look the same.
This is a first impression without even considering the plot/writing, or actors/voices, or even the competition at the box office.

Now, if they made a good movie, only the PC liberals would see it (and they would hate it). The family audience would never find out it was good, because they would not go in the first place.
Disney will never figure it out, either. They are staffed so completely with PC liberals that they think PC libs are mainstream.

I took my 2 oldest girls(6 and 8) to the movie and they both loved it.

I have not seen any pre-release hype. They usually start hyping a year in advance.

Lots of people are boycotting Disney. There are several web sites on the boycott.

Homophilia doesn't seem to be paying off, does it? Let's see, a company built on its broad appeal to innocent children embraces a markedly homosexual agenda. I'm not the biz wiz Mike Eisner is, but Marketing 101 would tell you that's a BAD IDEA!!!!!

Actually, Disney films have usually made more money in Hollywood than most movie studios.

When you take a classic book written over 100 yrs ago, and make it a *really* bad sci-fi movie; yes it's gonna bite. What's next? A re-write of the 3 Musketeers Jedi-style?
As soon as I saw the pre-views, I knew I had no interest in it. If they would have forgone the sci-fi aspect of it, and done the movie as it is written, it could have been great. Case in point: The Count of Monte Cristco (awesome!!)
