Animation is a medium not a genre

You had a lot of fun with that dynamite plunger gag.

Dwayne Johnson: “Animation is Hollywood’s most successful and innovative......genre.” Brad Bird: *TrigGeReD*

Treasure Planet didn’t do well at first but not because it was a bad film, because it came out the same time as the first Harry Potter movie, the advertisements were awful, and people caught on to Disney’s pattern of when movies would come out on DVD. It really is a good movie and a unique adaptation. I mean, the animation and the music is really worth taking a look at again.

it's kinda sad cause i like some of these movies

0:13 - "Animation is a medium not a genre." (Brad Bird, dir. of The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and Ratatouiee)

Treasure Planet was given a godawful box office spot and I’m so sorry for Musker and Clements for having their passion project being done so dirty

I adore Rise of the Guardians, especially the villain Shadow/Boogeyman. I’m sad that it bombed. I was hoping for a sequel.

Disney's other flops include Black Cauldron and Home on the Range. Although Cauldron and Treasure Planet have a few fans defending them as cult classics, basically everyone refuses to defend Home on the Range.

I really liked Treasure Planet too.

Even if I've never seen Osmosis Jones, the live action scenes still look disgusting and uncomfortable.

Just because a movie did poorly in theatres, doesn't mean its bad though.

Sometimes I think that any animated movie that’s a box office bomb was just an underrated gem that many people didn’t give a chance, such as with The Iron Giant, Rise of the Guardians or Treasure Planet. Then I get to #1, which definitely deserved to bomb in every conceivable way.

Number 1 is going to be Mars Needs Moms. I just know it.

Funny Fact: Will Smith was originally picked to play the role as Frank for Osmosis Jones; however, after reading the script, he declined WB's offer to bring in the character, so they manage to get Bill Murray in.

I wonder if Brad Bird was contemplating on whenever or not to seriously pick a fight with ‘The Rock’ when the word ‘genre’ was muttered.

Dreamworks *REALLY* overestimated the popularity of the Madagascar penguins.

I absolutely LOVED Rise of the Guardians! Hugh Jackman was amazing as Bunnymund and Jude Law was charismatically wicked as Pitch Black!

Honestly regarding with Coco, me alongside other people I knew never liked the Frozen Short. In fact, it was so negatively recieved by audiences and critics that they pulled it off from theatres one week later (I think).

Treasure Planet is one of my favorite movies. I'm sad that it bombed so badly

_anination is a MEDIUM not a genre!_

Treasure Planet, The Good Dinosaur and Rise of the Guardians deserved better recognition.

9:36 I thought I was the only one who noticed that there was a Monkeybone cameo in Coraline

I like Treasure Planet no matter what.

Are Rise of the Guardians and Treasure Planet at least decent enough to watch regardless of them being box office flops?

This movie had more explosions than a Micheal Bay movie.

I hate Mars Needs Moms more and more as each year passes because motion capture isn't a bad form of animation. It's been used to bring characters such as Thanos, Gollum, Ceasar, and Tintin to life like never before. Some of most critically acclaimed video games of all time (Until Dawn, RDR2, Spider-Man, The Last of Us, just to name a few) use motion capture and not only are they well received for their gameplay, they're also praised for their storytelling and how the characters look and feel like real people. I honestly would like to see a comeback for motion capture animated films, but until Peter Jackson finally puts Tintin 2 into production, that's not likely to happen anytime soon. Thanks Mars Needs Moms -.-

Hearing Mat say "thicc alien booty" is more hilarious than I thought.

Guardians and Treasure Planet were so underrated...they had good story, magnificent visuals and a lot of charm and character. I absolutely LOVED the relationship between Jim and Long John Silver. They really cared about each other. and it made John more than just another Disney villain. True, the company writers very good baddies like Jafar or Scar but they are just evil. They don't even care about their henchmen, treating them like tools and things. There is nothing wrong with that, but it's nice to have a villain that is more humanized. He was capable of caring for someone. The final scene where Jim lets him go, and he gives Jim part of the treasure so he can rebuild his mom's inn, is one of Disney's more moving moments.

There was gonna be a sequel to Treasure Planet but it was cancelled

Everyone knows Mars Needs Moms will make number 1

I saw Mars needs Moms in the theaters and it was an incredibly bizarre and surreal experience to say the least, and in the worst possible way.

If this video came out now instead of 5 years ago, it’s guaranteed Onward, Strange World & Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken would be on this list.

Sad how this is happening to Ruby gillman teenage kraken

Playmobil Movie: Allow is to introduce ourselves

I remember seeing some of these in theaters like Rise of the Guardians, Penguins of Madagascar, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and The Good Dinosaur

I feel sorry for The Good Dinosaur. It was very flawed, but I still really enjoyed it. Everything was against it, unfortunately...

Shocked “The Black Cauldron” wasn’t on this list, I always thought it was one of the biggest bombs, more ya know!! 🤷‍♀️😂

I LOVE TREASURE PLANET!!!! JIM IS SUCH A HEARTTHROB

That Legends of Oz bomb was so satisfying.... It's a shame Mars Needs Moms turned out so bad; the Berkely Breathed story it's based on is quite moving and an underrated picture book in my opinion. I'm guessing Delgo had too low of a budget to generate a major loss.

With all the explosions in this video, I think Michael bay would like this one.

I'm surprised you didn't talk about Delgo

Treasure planet is really underated my opinion

animat got too carried away with the whole bomb thing. *and i love it.*

You know when you say that Motion Capture Animation hasn't been used since the disaster that is Mars Needs Moms? You are not wrong. However, motion capture was used in some Dreamworks movies like How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Rise of the Guardians.

The Good Dinosaur and the Penguins of Madagascar was honestly pretty decent. But poor Treasure Planet and Guardians. It’s a shame those didn’t do as good as they did. I would have loved to seen a sequel or some kind of continuation of those two movies too.

Isn’t it also safe to say that in addition to Sinbad, the fact that Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron performing only modestly at the box-office, along with The Road To El Dorado bombing also factored in DreamWorks’ decision to shut down as well? Just a thought!

Ironically Final Fantasy: Spirits within felt less like a Final Fantasy film and more like a generic sci fi film.

I’m pretty sure that The Good Dinosaur bombed because it came out the same week as The Force Awakens.

What about Delgo? That was a film with a budget of $ 40 million which didn't even break a million at the box office and was pulled out due to a cataclysmic opening. I know that in comparison to the other 11 entries (including the honorable mention), the loss and consequences doesn't seem too massive. But the fact is that this was a film that, I want to repeat, couldn't even make a million dollars at the box office and reportedly had two viewers per screening. At least give this an (dis)honorable mention. Other than that, this was a good list. I, myself, is incredibly interested in the box office and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is.

I loved Rise of the Guardians, was always hoping for more but the fanart is always fantastic to look at from time to time because of the vibrancy of the characters in their looks

I think pan-pizza best summed up mars needs moms with this sentence: 'Oh god it's like a little frankie muniz goblin!'

That moment when a movie terrifies you so much you forget that you have a Universe-Destroying superweapon.

It’s still heartbreaking that Rise of the guardians flopped, I absolutely LOVE that movie.

4:01 Wait, where did you get a clear version of that Hyena laugh from Lady and the Tramp (which would later be used for Ripper Roo in Crash Bandicoot)? I've been searching for that for years!

Okay now that really looks fun watch with that bomb dedinator. Who knew this could go like Crazy Harry... or Sandy Cheeks if you seen SpongeBob: Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy VI: the motion picture.

The canceled yellow submarine remake footage is nightmare fuel

Pixar: releases Onward Coronavirus: I'm about to end this company's whole career!!!

Animation is not a genre Dwane.

*list of top 10 box office bombs exist* Arctic dogs: hold my beer

ANIMATED MOVIES THAT BOMB: Missing link Ugly dolls Cats don’t dance The good dinosaur Onward The road to el dorado Treasure planet The black cauldron Home on the range Sinbad: legend of the seven seas Mr Peabody and Sherman Penguins of Madagascar Surf’s up Rise of the guardians A Christmas carol The king and I Alpha and omega (I think) Norm of the north Osmosis jones The iron giants Quest for Camelot Titan AE Monkey bone Final fantasy VII Smurfs: the lost village (I think) Lightyear Mars needs moms 9 Strange World Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken Pinocchio Fantasia Bambi Alice in Wonderland Sleeping Beauty Turbo The Rescuers: Down Under Fantasia 2000 And that last thing we know is that Elemental and Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse are bombs but then as time move forward, they became hits.

Wait, SINBAD?! Dayum....that’s actually one of my fave animated movies. And Treasure Planet is criminally underrated in my opinion

Number 10: Please let Dragons 3 be great. Number 9: WB Marketers, Iron Giant deserved better exposure. Number 8: Speaking of Warner Brothers, I think I'd rather watch Looney Tunes back in action. At least that Brendan Fraiser movie had timeless characters. It's at this point I have to point out; just because it's on this list, it doesn't mean it was bad. At best, they are critically underrated. For example... Number 7: I loved this movie. Not only for the fantastic animation, but I enjoyed the writing, personally. Number 6: Still would watch it over Talking with Dinosaurs.. Number 5: No relation to Legend of the Guardians. I would love to see a sequel to this... Are you fucking kidding me?! This lost to Twilight 4???? Oh well, at least some of the fanart was great. Number 4: Oh my god, this is a terrible movie. Not only is the story dull, it also does hardly anything to make it a Final Fantasy movie. No ridiculous swords, no mages, no humanoid gods, just Doctor Sid and maybe a chocobo cameo Number 3: The bomb blew this movie harder than the hurricane ever could. Number 2: It's was their first animated sci fi movie. At least Don Bluth made a guest appearance with Nostalgia Critic. Which is... really impressive, actually. Number 1: You knew this was coming. Not only did I skip this because of the horrid animation, but because of the ridiculous story premise. And I'm glad I did, because the characters were just as bad. You have Milo, that smug little bastard they call a hero; Gribble, who despite being the most fleshed out character, is also a major idiot; Ki's an alien that talks like a stereotypical sitcom character; and the alien superintendent whose voice acting feels like they did in one take.

I love your top 10's! Since when they come around they're long and feel like a mini animation lookback

I know people can complain about the good dinosaur but hell at least it has some heart in it

You should also do a top 10 list on the biggest Disney box office bombs

As strange as Osmosis Jones was, I absolutely adored as a child the spinoff, Ozzy and Drix

But Penguins of Madagascar is so amazingly animated, shot and timed, it really deserves that budget even if it was probably never gonna earn it back

On the subject of box office bombs, when Frozen was first released i figured it would be Disney's biggest bomb in history due to the trailers giving everyone nothing to offer (or at least nothing that wasn't childish as all hell) so it was a real shock that it became the highest grossing animated feature of all time.

Didn’t Astro Boy become a box office bomb since it destroyed an animation Studio: Imagi Animation?

Mars needs moms: we have the biggest bomb Cats when the trailer was made: hold my beer

3:18 how did this not become a meme?!

18:01 Oh, if only that blew up the boat in Shrek 3.

Nowadays Lightyear and Strange World would be on here

16:27 I actually accidentally went into Rise of the Guardians when I went to see Wreck-it Ralph. Because of that, I missed the beginning exposition.

Titan AE was amazing, a favourite when I saw it in the theatre

Titan A.E. was one of my favourite fims of all time

Now you can add Strange World to the list

For me the good dinosaur is an insult to not just pixar but to the entire dinosaurs species as a hole.

Pretty much all those movies were at least decent and passable, except Mars Needs Moms, which is absolutely beyond terrible.

Sadly, Treasure Planet bombed because there was an internal war going on within Disney's animation department at the time. They didn't want to let the directors make the movie they promised them. There was fighting, someone got fired, Roy Disney Jr. got involved, the company was trying to get rid of their 2D animation department by saying "2D animation is dead," and to prove their point, there was some corporate sabotage meant to boost support for future CG projects. By that I mean that they didn't advertise the film until just before it came out (and then limited), little merchandising, and for the trailers they DID have----it actually gave away movie spoilers! Treasure Planet is a good example of corporate cannibalism--where a company sinks their own product to make way for a new one----in this case: the CG animation department. If the movie had been successful as a 2D animated film, it would have been in direct contrast with then-CEO Iger's blatant statement that 2D was dead. (Disney's CEO also tried to say "princess films" were dead and Tangled would be their last one--but they WAS forced to eat those words as the movie did so well that they started to focus heavily on princess films--both the creation and mocking of for profit). But, for Treasure Planet, the original release of the DVD actually mentions some of the sabotage, in-fighting, and difficulties the crew faced in the film commentary. As for the cost, the reason it cost so much money to make the film is because of the CG animation (which is more expensive than 2D animation) which was integrated into the film in an era where that still wasn't as common (and certainly not to that degree). But hey, that's nothing compared to Moana. The average Disney film today is upwards 150K+, but Moana was so expensive that Disney opted not to say how much they spent. Pricey.

I LOVE TREASURE PLANET ALSO DON'T FORGET ATLANTIS THE LOST EMPIRE AND THE BLACK CAULDRON

This list should get a remake, as they've been so much more animated box office bombs since it was made

Treasure Planet was awfully good, but I've read that it a movie Disney didn't want to do, perhaps because it was far from the Broadway musical theme of the Disney Renaissance. They said to purposely bombed this film through bad marketing, releasing it at the wrong season, and among other competitive films.

I was bummed ROTG did bad, it had such a beautiful art style.

Delgo's budget was small enough that it was mathematically impossible for it to make the list, but I think it deserves an honourable mention for being quite possibly the biggest bust of all time by percentages, animated or otherwise. $40,000,000 budget, made $700,000. For those keeping track, that is a 98.25% loss.

I LOVE RISE OF THE GUARDIANS ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Timestamps (Also Spoilers for the list) 1:53 Dreamworks 2014; Penguins and Peabody 4:19 Osmosis Jones; Murray's Inside Story 7:24 Monkeybone; The Monkeys Are Running the Zoo 10:14 Treasure Planet; Sky High Hopes 12:49 The Good Dinosaur; Meteoric Mediocrity 15:29 Rise of the Guardians; Fall of the Finances 18:11 Final Fantasy The Spirits Within; Disc 3 of a Supposedly Epic Adventure 21:19 Legends of Oz; Hitting Harder than a Hurricane 24:53 Titan AE; In Over Their Heads 28:22 Sinbad; Fun as Sin, Bad Box Office 33:04 Mars Needs Moms; And Better Animators

Sinbad gets an honorable mention, but Delgo does not?

I don’t care what anyone says. Rise of the Guardians and treasure planet were amazing

I think the 125 million Sinbad lost also included its advertising budget since that usually is not added to film's budgets on sites. Treasure Planet lost a lot due to that

Sinbad is one of my favorite animated movies. I'm surprised it is seen as such a flop. The storyline, the action, the comedy, and the drama along with the mythology make it one of my go to watches along with the other 2D dreamworks films.

I’m afraid this is happening to strange world

The Good Dinosaur actually grossed $426.4 Million CAD worldwide. Not exactly a “Box Office Bomb”. Especially when films that grossed less can be considered successes!

I watched Rise Of The Guardians, treasure Planet, and Titan A.E. and liked them at different degrees. The worst part about Mars Needs Moms was that it was the next released after the amazingly well done and moving Rapunzel.

I’m starting to think rise of the guardians had a bit of a target audience issue

This proves that Mars doesn't need moms

I love whenever you blew up the Jack x Elsa fanart. Poor Jack doesn't need to be shipped with Elsa 😂

Honestly osmosis Jones had a cartoon spin off that was better and we actually had to watch it during my six grade class for science well at least some good came out of it.

The saddest part is that a lot of those films are pretty decent.
