You can’t deny that Walt Disney Pictures has been the leader in animated family films, churning out hit after hit – oh wait, this blog isn’t from the ‘90s. Unfortunately that aint the case anymore as it seems Disney has ran out of steam this past decade, going through a major creative overhaul in the process. The first half of the 2000s saw some tremendous flops for the studio. Treasure Planet? Home on the Range? Brother Bear? These films were destined to disappoint after the immense success that the ‘90s brought to Disney, but the numbers for these films were shockingly bad. Home on the Range didn’t even make back its budget; that NEVER happens to them. The 2D animation department was sadly shut down in 2004 and Disney tried a new creative direction for their films. What are all the kids into these days? COMPUTERS! And so Disney stumbled into the computer animation arena, releasing three mediocre pictures that were neither failures nor successes. You may have seen Meet the Robinsons, but did you enjoy it?
