Disney murdered Treasure Planet - the two animators/directors who made the Disney Renaissance of the 90s a thing continually asked Disney's CEO for years for a chance to reimagine Treasure Island, only to be told to do movie after movie they didn't really wanna make, eventually though they got the greenlight. By the time the movie was ready however said CEO was gone and a new board of directors had taken charge, and they didn't care that Treasure Planet was a passion project by their best staff, instead only caring it had went over budget and been delayed, so they gave it a bad release date, a low advertising budget, spoiled the end of the movie in said low budget ads, and also hammered it in in said ads that the movie would be on DVD within a short amount of time, in effect dissuading theaterviewing.
