Also for all the talk about how Disney's Treasure Planet was a big box office bomb, it's actually a great hidden gem. Oscar nominated and positive critical reception. It's a pretty great and ambitious early combination of 3D CGI and traditional cell animation.

It was just skewered by Disney in marketing. They delayed it's release and then put it out at Christmas without any real marketing against the first Harry Potter film and another Disney release, The Santa Clause 2.

There's a great video essay about how Disney seems to have intentionally killed it (and traditional animation) here: https://youtu.be/b9sycdSkngA
