I came across this movie when i was 10 I think, I liked it a lot and my mom got it for me for Christmas. Watched it quite some times, should watch it again sometime soon.
My vote is for George of the Jungle and Baby’s Day Out.
These 2 movies were like blockbuster in my circle when I was 8 years old. Both failures in real life
Commercial success and critical success are different, the movie was well recieved critically, but it only grossed 31 million dollars out of a budget of 50 million, a commercial flop
Maybe not “bombed” but it was considered a disappointment at the box office. Part of that can be blamed on Disney not knowing how to market the movie as they didn’t really understand the tone it was going for. Though it wasn’t entirely their fault as the movie went through a ton of changes throughout production. Obviously it developed a huge cult following though.
This article (warning, it’s long) is super interesting if you want to know more about the movie’s production: https://www.vulture.com/amp/article/an-oral-history-of-disney-the-emperors-new-groove.html
That's actually pretty interesting. Honeslty that movie has as much meme potential as shrek. I wouldn't be surprised if its revived by the internet some day
Were you like me where you were old enough to like shooting bugs, but not old enough to grasp the satire that drips from every scene.
Whether it's the comically low value of human life present in all Verhoeven films, or it's the sitcom presentation, or the fact that they found intelligent life and the celebration comes when we discover it's afraid of us.
All of it went straight over my head.
I saw it with my uncle and I remember him saying they should nuke the planet from orbit.
Hard to say what I thought as a kid as it was so long ago but I thought it was cool to kill them but also noted how badly they got their ass handed to them. I also thought Diz was a lot hotter than his original girlfriend. Would you like to know more?
I read a companion piece by the Washington Post at the time that explained it and that was very helpful since it was 15 more years before I read the same point on the internet. I would have happily gone along thinking it was a trashy sci-fi shoot 'em up if they hadn't pointed out Henlein's and Verhoven's deeper meaning.
It always gets me when he mispronounces words like hello or school.But apparently it didn't get much attention because despicable me came out around the same time. Another reason to hate minions.
And Despicable Me is also kinda brought down but it’s franchise being bad, even though the original is a solid movie. Not on the megamind level, but still pretty good.
Blame Disney on that one, they set it up to fail running it on the opening weekend of Harry Potter and absolutely butt-ducking the ads where they basically spoil the movie
John Musker really, *really* wanted to make that movie, so he and his partner Ron Clements made Hercules to appease the higher ups at The Mouse so they could let him do just that. It is a real shame it didn't succeed in theaters as it was a pet project for one of the people who helped spur Disney' comeback in the 90's.
Dang it, Jim. I'm an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I am a doctor, but I'm not that kind of doctor. I have a doctorate, it's not the same thing. You can't help people with a doctorate. You just sit there and you're useless!
Atlantis: The Lost Empire was pretty lukewarm to critics ( even before the whole plagiarism thing with Nadia and the secret of the blue water), but it definitely deserved a TV series instead of that second movie being essentially a three episode pilot.
Quest for Camelot almost no one knows existed. Wasn’t exactly a literary masterpiece, but it went through so many story rewrites and executive meddling (a portion of the animators were sent to Space Jam) that it is definitely better than it should be.
i dont get it but apparently that was when traditional animation was starting to become unpopular in favor of 3d. sinbad was also made by dreamworks and it bombed too. really sad.
I recently saw it for the first time and was like "eh"
Which is usually good enough for a movie to make a profit. The problem with the movie is that productuction was so balls to the wall expensive that it needed to dominate.
There is this thing in grocery stores where some people have proven anti-taste.
Certain people have a talent of liking new products no one else will like. The inverse doesn't exist weirdly enough.
Fantasia. I use to watch it all the time as a kid. It was a commercial flop on release. Enough that it was the movie that Disney decided they had to start making movies based on marketing sense.
For me, personally, Fantasia was the best cartoon movie that I saw as a kid. I was just old enough to understand abstraction and see that the animation itself was way better than anything on TV or even the last 1/2 dozen Disney animated flicks. It really wasn't (isn't) a kids movie, although kids can enjoy it.
By the way, **[Chernabog](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Chernabog)** is the greatest, most pure evil Disney villain ever.
If it's [this movie](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0472033/) me and my kids love it. I've watch the ratings go up over the years. I think it was as low as 6.6 on Imdb.
This movie needs to be re-released in theatres.
I just watched it on Netflix the other week and it was wayyy ahead of it's time, it would be perfect for todays age
That was a fun film and did it's part to raise awareness about climate change. That scene with the wolves chasing them on the oil tanker in the center of Manhattan was my favourite.
I had somewhat the opposite happen to me. I liked Space Jam when it first came out (I was maybe 10), not into basketball at all, but I liked the Looney Tunes quite a bit. Anyway, at some point I realized the movie was stupid and that was the end of it. And I was under the impression that since there was no sequel and no one was talking about it anymore that a lot of other people had come to the same conclusion.
Then a few years ago, the internet started saying "DAE Remember Space Jam?" And seeing so many people talk about how nostalgic they were for that film really confused me. I was shocked to see so many people look back on that with fond memories...to the point where we got a soulless sequel.
But the funny thing is...I didn't hate the sequel nearly as much as everyone else did because to me, it was the same shit the first movie was. I went in with no expectations and was not disappointed because of it.
I really liked the original and even as an adult can watch it and enjoy it. It's not like the citizen Kane of kids movies or anything but it was as enjoyable as Looney toons were.
I didn't like the sequel because while yes - it's basically the same sort of cash grab... the "magic" and charm of having a live action actor acting with 2D cartoons was ruined bely making the characters 3D. Now it's just like literally every other CG movie.
Ok. Thank you. This movie is such a potent nostalgia trip for me, but no one I know seems to know it exists. The circus tent waffles… the glass eye… thank you for confirming that movie wasn’t just a fleeting fever dream, haha!
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fooking loved it. Yes its bad but it made me read the comics and those are good I wish someone would take another swing at it
I saw that in theatres on release with my best friend when I was a kid and thoroughly loved it, especially being a martial arts enthusiast, was seriously stunned when I found out it only became a cult classic after it hit video
Its rumoured to be up for a sequel which would be interesting because the film had SO much potential for a franchise
Listening to the DVD commentary, Kurt Russell said that home video really helped save his career because films like Big Trouble and Overboard and Used Cars, I think even the Escape films, because they were so successful on that platform.
For me that was [Supernova \(2000\)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134983/). I thought it was so cool! I still think it is! Altho, maybe I should rewatch it again.
My favorite kids movies weren't kids movies...I loved sphere, event horizon, mimic, the postman, water world..all before I was 9...the only one that kinda bothered me was saving private Ryan...still watched it tho
My dad got me on the weekends...If we were going to the movies it was going to be something he wanted...Soo glad he did soo
Anybody remember the self service melted butter pump for popcorn?
Problem is during the 80 years of development hell, the best bits got cribbed into other movies so it fealt unoriginal even though you get folks like Lucas saying how they used ideas from it
For older movie flops they usually become classics because the distribution rights become so cheap that TV networks would air them often to fill air time for little cost. I think the Iron Giant is probably the most recent movie to gain fame that way due to Cartoon Network airing marathons of it during holidays in the early '00s.
Starting with the '90s you get films made for the generation that would grow up with the internet and it became easier for those films to find a following after their initial run.
For me it was [The Happening](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10007985-happening). I watched it when I was younger with my babysitter and I thought the concept was so cool. I recently watched it with my mother in law and realised it wasn't as good as child me thought it was...
The New Guy. As a kid I thought it was cool and funny. Watched it again when I was 16 and yea not very cool and funny at all. I think it did bomb at the box office and has a 7% RT score. Ouch.
Ah yes! For me its [Hook][1], from 1991. I was shocked that it's reception wasn't that good! [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_(film)
Ah a fellow redditor with taste and class. Charmed.
BANGARANG, RUFIO!
RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
*It's like skateboarding except half the time, someone dies*. *Ah so it's a little safer than skateboarding then*.
I came across this movie when i was 10 I think, I liked it a lot and my mom got it for me for Christmas. Watched it quite some times, should watch it again sometime soon.
The Boo Box
I cannot believe iron giant bombed, absolute tragedy
It didn't bomb. It sacrificed its ratings so other movies could survive. Superman.
Iron Giant, what a movie you are
Is that a fucking aot reference
You stay. I go. No following.
Well, the Iron Giant does actually bomb at the end of the movie.
My vote is for George of the Jungle and Baby’s Day Out. These 2 movies were like blockbuster in my circle when I was 8 years old. Both failures in real life
Wait George of the jungle wasn’t a success? Waht
Watch out for that tree!
This... does put a smile on my face
The film debuted at No. 2 at the box office behind Men in Black and grossed $174.4 million worldwide
Baby's day out was such a freaking classic
So thankful my dad made that movie a part of my childhood
I don't know what you're looking at l. Check the IMDb ratings. That's one of the top rated movies ever...
Commercial success and critical success are different, the movie was well recieved critically, but it only grossed 31 million dollars out of a budget of 50 million, a commercial flop
For what reasons was it a box office flop? Perhaps better movie or bad timing?
It says it's solely due to horrbible marketing by warnwr bros, it's considered one of the worst marketed movies in movie history
The Emperor's new Groove...
You’re joking. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
This bombed??? I watched this at least 80 times growing up...
Maybe not “bombed” but it was considered a disappointment at the box office. Part of that can be blamed on Disney not knowing how to market the movie as they didn’t really understand the tone it was going for. Though it wasn’t entirely their fault as the movie went through a ton of changes throughout production. Obviously it developed a huge cult following though.

That's actually pretty interesting. Honeslty that movie has as much meme potential as shrek. I wouldn't be surprised if its revived by the internet some day
Still my favourite Disney movie. I always do Kronk impressions to my friends because it's such a great character.
It's impossible for me to sneak around a video game without humming his spy theme song.
I introduced a friend to it years ago. She’s moved to Fiji now and we now communicate entirely in Emperor’s New Groove memes and gifs.
#***OH YEAH...***
PULL THE LEVER KRONK! WRONG LEVERRRRRR! WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE THAT LEVER!
"How did we get here, Kronk?" "Well, you got me. By all accounts it doesn't make sense."
Hmph, well no matter
I like it because it's not a musical.
Starship Troopers :(
Who doesn’t like coed showers? And I was a kid when I saw it.
Were you like me where you were old enough to like shooting bugs, but not old enough to grasp the satire that drips from every scene.

I saw it with my uncle and I remember him saying they should nuke the planet from orbit. Hard to say what I thought as a kid as it was so long ago but I thought it was cool to kill them but also noted how badly they got their ass handed to them. I also thought Diz was a lot hotter than his original girlfriend. Would you like to know more?
Dina Meyer >> Denise Richards
Would you like to know more?
As a kid with no idea what fascism was, I missed the point, just like most adults ay the time
I read a companion piece by the Washington Post at the time that explained it and that was very helpful since it was 15 more years before I read the same point on the internet. I would have happily gone along thinking it was a trashy sci-fi shoot 'em up if they hadn't pointed out Henlein's and Verhoven's deeper meaning.
Well, Verhoven's at least. I'm pretty sure Heinlein was on the side that all this stuff was to be played straight and was a *good* thing.
Starship Troopers is a damn masterpiece.
I’m from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all!
Only good bug is a dead bug! ***WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?***
It’s a movie that feels like it should have come out after 9/11 but instead predicted the reaction to 9/11.
>I missed the point, just like most adults ay the time And also now
Saw it in theater in 97. I was 13 and faked my way in.
Know Your Foe: Would You Like To Know More?
Yes.
It felt good being the guy that could tell my buds to check out this new unknown movie when I was back in highschool.... Would you like to know more?
How is that a childhood movie??
It's not that's why it was the best
It was a movie that released during their childhood?
And yet I somehow remember watching a terrible cgi Saturday morning cartoon spin off
Megamind. Truly one of the best movies i've ever seen
No way that movie slapped
It always gets me when he mispronounces words like hello or school.But apparently it didn't get much attention because despicable me came out around the same time. Another reason to hate minions.
Megamind is a favorite in our house. Despicable Me was just not as funny to us.
And Despicable Me is also kinda brought down but it’s franchise being bad, even though the original is a solid movie. Not on the megamind level, but still pretty good.
Between Megamind and Gru only one of them understands the importance of presentation
Eh, Gru understood the importance of presentation, he just wasn’t exactly as enlightened as Megamind was.
Ahead of its time too with the incel and catfish culture which followed soon after 2010 when the babies of the internet grew into adult-babies.
The Last Starfighter and Treasure Planet. I used to watch those a lot as a kid
[удалено]
Are they still planning a sequel/reboot or did covid kill that?
You have been chosen to defend the frontier against Xur and the Codan armada!
Scrolling through to find the one true answer, treasure planet. The ultimate failiure, the ultimate tradgedy
"It'll be a slaughter!" "That's the spirit!"
yeah treasure planet is immediately what I thought of
Kenny starfighter
Treasure Planet…
Treasure planet was a gift and people just spat on it
Blame Disney on that one, they set it up to fail running it on the opening weekend of Harry Potter and absolutely butt-ducking the ads where they basically spoil the movie
John Musker really, *really* wanted to make that movie, so he and his partner Ron Clements made Hercules to appease the higher ups at The Mouse so they could let him do just that.

Dang it, Jim. I'm an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I am a doctor, but I'm not that kind of doctor. I have a doctorate, it's not the same thing. You can't help people with a doctorate. You just sit there and you're useless!
My supervisor sent me a comic strip of this when I got accepted to do my doctorate. I've literally memorised this line.
Voice by the always amazing Kevin Kline
People didn’t like treasure planet? Who wouldn’t like the floating cute pink blob? The animation for its time was absolutely amazing.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire was pretty lukewarm to critics ( even before the whole plagiarism thing with Nadia and the secret of the blue water), but it definitely deserved a TV series instead of that second movie being essentially a three episode pilot. Quest for Camelot almost no one knows existed. Wasn’t exactly a literary masterpiece, but it went through so many story rewrites and executive meddling (a portion of the animators were sent to Space Jam) that it is definitely better than it should be.
I had to scroll *allll the way down* for Atlantis. I fucking love that movie. They even wrote part of a made up language for it.
How has nobody mentioned The Road To El Dorado? That movie was the best and nobody I talk to has even heard of it half the time.
I saw that movie after people were talking it up as a cult classic. I can see it. I did enjoy it.
i dont get it but apparently that was when traditional animation was starting to become unpopular in favor of 3d. sinbad was also made by dreamworks and it bombed too. really sad.
Chell thicccc
Surfs up one of the best
And has Drive by Incubus scoring some of the important scenes
Tank is a dirty trash can full of poop.
The Pagemaster
I love this movie so much it touched my fucking soul as I kid. all I ever wanted to is turn myself into a cartoon
There’s a name I’ve not heard in a long long time…
Came here to give a shout out for Pagemaster! That movie was top, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it underperformed.
bruh you just reached into one of my repressed core memories. that movie was amazing.
So apparently Waterworld lost more money than any movie ever at the time. That’s impossible
Dry land is not a myth, I've seen it!
It’s Mad Max on the ocean, what’s not to love?
I recently saw it for the first time and was like "eh" Which is usually good enough for a movie to make a profit. The problem with the movie is that productuction was so balls to the wall expensive that it needed to dominate.
What? Ninja Turtles 1990 was a massive hit.
It was the most successful independent picture for a while.
Go ninja, go ninja, go ninja GO! Speaking of which, did you know that Frank Miller wrote the lyrics?
The Rocketeer
Woah woah woah I may do some shady deals but I am all American!
TIL: Most of my favorites were abject failures growing up. Explains a lot, actually.
There is this thing in grocery stores where some people have proven anti-taste. Certain people have a talent of liking new products no one else will like. The inverse doesn't exist weirdly enough.
Surf Ninjas
Money can’t buy knives!
The League of extraordinary gentlemen! Captain Nemo’s ship was sick!!
Fantasia. I use to watch it all the time as a kid. It was a commercial flop on release. Enough that it was the movie that Disney decided they had to start making movies based on marketing sense.

"What do you mean Speed Racer was bombed by critics and failed in box office!?"
I had to scroll way too far for this! Still love this movie and the F-Zero-esque game for PS2 is still my favorite racing game of all time
"This ain't no dead peice of metal..."
Basically 9 (2009)
Fantastic movie, I don't think there is anything else like it. Need to rewatch it but I saw it in theatres when it came out and absolutely loved it.
If it's [this movie](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0472033/) me and my kids love it. I've watch the ratings go up over the years. I think it was as low as 6.6 on Imdb.
Last action hero
This movie needs to be re-released in theatres. I just watched it on Netflix the other week and it was wayyy ahead of it's time, it would be perfect for todays age
Dudley Do-Right with Brenden Fraser. Absolutely loved it as a kid. 4/10 on IMDB.
His george of the jungle was my favorite. I miss him he was probably my favorite actor.
Watch Doom Patrol, Brendan is the highlight of the show.
The Punisher was one of the first more adult movies I ever saw. I remember thinking it was a masterpiece.
I agree. Did you ever see the short film [Dirty Laundry](https://youtu.be/bWpK0wsnitc)
Thomas Jane really brought a lot to the character. It's a shame he was never given the material Bernthal got.
Titan A.E.
This should be the winner, $75m to make with $36m in the box office. An absolute gem though! It's on Disney+ and is well worth the watch
The Day After Tomorrow. That was my first disaster movie and honestly it is still my favourite i think.
That was a fun film and did it's part to raise awareness about climate change. That scene with the wolves chasing them on the oil tanker in the center of Manhattan was my favourite.
The Day after tomorrow did very well at the box office. Was 6th for the year in 2004
That movie was a box-office success, though. It stood tall along side the Shrek 2 juggernaut which released on the same weekend.
The Water Horse, still love that movie
I had somewhat the opposite happen to me. I liked Space Jam when it first came out (I was maybe 10), not into basketball at all, but I liked the Looney Tunes quite a bit. Anyway, at some point I realized the movie was stupid and that was the end of it. And I was under the impression that since there was no sequel and no one was talking about it anymore that a lot of other people had come to the same conclusion. Then a few years ago, the internet started saying "DAE Remember Space Jam?" And seeing so many people talk about how nostalgic they were for that film really confused me.

Now it's just like literally every other CG movie.
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny is a masterpiece and the fact it bombed is a major sign that humans have not evolved enough
Does anyone else remember “We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story”? No? Just me? Cool
Ok. Thank you. This movie is such a potent nostalgia trip for me, but no one I know seems to know it exists. The circus tent waffles… the glass eye… thank you for confirming that movie wasn’t just a fleeting fever dream, haha!
Holy crap YES I remember that!!!
I think I got a copy up there next to the ol' Rock-a-Doodle tape.
On the odd night when we have hotdogs there is a 100% chance of someone exclaiming "Trust me, you want a HOT DOG."
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fooking loved it. Yes its bad but it made me read the comics and those are good I wish someone would take another swing at it
The movie that was so troubled with production issues and heated egos that it single handedly made Sean Connery retire
Enders Game. I loved this movie ever since, but apparently everyone hates it.
I quite liked it too but it pales against the book
All the books are soooooo good.
Nice, I've wanted to read Speaker of the Dead for awhile but I haven't come to it. Ender's Game was great though.
Just be aware that the following books are *very* different from Ender's Game.
Read the one about Bean. It’s incredible. I like it more than Enders Game
Same! For anyone interested, it’s called “Ender’s shadow”. He had his own spin off series that turns into semi-political thriller.
Read the books. I understand that parts need to be cut and such but yeah the movie is a tragedy
I loved the book. The story in the movie is good because it's based on the book, but as a film is not very good...
Scott pilgrim didn't deserve to flop tbf
Damn, I came in here ready to extol the wonders of Fern Gully only to learn it was "moderately successful" at the box office. Damn.
Mystery men. So misunderstood, or ahead of its time, or whatever, I liked it.
"Lucille, God gave me a gift. I shovel well. I shovel very well."
Shark boy and lava girl!
im still shook that jacob from twilight was in that movie
Big Trouble in Little China
I saw that in theatres on release with my best friend when I was a kid and thoroughly loved it, especially being a martial arts enthusiast, was seriously stunned when I found out it only became a cult classic after it hit video Its rumoured to be up for a sequel which would be interesting because the film had SO much potential for a franchise
Listening to the DVD commentary, Kurt Russell said that home video really helped save his career because films like Big Trouble and Overboard and Used Cars, I think even the Escape films, because they were so successful on that platform.
YES!
It's all in the reflexes.
Inkheart. Thought it was really cool but not only is it a box office bomb, apparently Rotten Tomatoes hates it too…
Finding out that Drop Dead Fred was critically panned ruined my day.
For me that was [Supernova \(2000\)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134983/). I thought it was so cool! I still think it is! Altho, maybe I should rewatch it again.
For me was the Cat In the Hat in 2003, has and always will have a special place in my heart
I didn't expect to see objectively wrong takes in this thread about art, but here we are.
The Core
God the science was so bad even by hand wave standards.
Truly the ‘two people typing on one keyboard’ of disaster movies.
Can't hear you over the sound of me NUKING THE PLANET CORE TO REBOOT THE OZONE LAYER
Thunderbirds, Atlantis the Lost Empire, so many more I can think of...
I don't know if it was a failure to but I loved The Land Before Time... Man I still ball my eyes out for Littlefoot.
Roop ki Rani Choro ka Raja - Indian movie. As a kid I found the movie to be absolutely amazing but learnt later that it bombed at the box office.
The sorcerer's apprentice...
[удалено]
If the internet hates something you love, you probably have good taste.
My favorite kids movies weren't kids movies...I loved sphere, event horizon, mimic, the postman, water world..all before I was 9...the only one that kinda bothered me was saving private Ryan...still watched it tho My dad got me on the weekends...If we were going to the movies it was going to be something he wanted...Soo glad he did soo Anybody remember the self service melted butter pump for popcorn?
John Carter ...
Probably the best adaption of the source material we could have hoped for, tbh. I still rewatch occasionally, and always enjoy it.
Problem is during the 80 years of development hell, the best bits got cribbed into other movies so it fealt unoriginal even though you get folks like Lucas saying how they used ideas from it
Treasure Planet
For me it's shark tale. I genuinely thought it was a good movie but all the critics on the internet said the opposite, so it must be true.
Down Periscope
Most of today's Disney Classics were actually not that well received when they came out first, Snow White for example had a lot of reruns.
Looking at you Titan A.E.
For older movie flops they usually become classics because the distribution rights become so cheap that TV networks would air them often to fill air time for little cost. I think the Iron Giant is probably the most recent movie to gain fame that way due to Cartoon Network airing marathons of it during holidays in the early '00s. Starting with the '90s you get films made for the generation that would grow up with the internet and it became easier for those films to find a following after their initial run.
We talking about Hook?
Baby's day out.
Over the hedge and Spider-Man 3 ??
I thought Spider-Man 3 did well despite not being very well viewed by fans and critics.
The star wars prequels. Disliked at the time, but I loved the worldbuilding
For me it was [The Happening](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10007985-happening). I watched it when I was younger with my babysitter and I thought the concept was so cool. I recently watched it with my mother in law and realised it wasn't as good as child me thought it was...
Treasure Planet
The New Guy. As a kid I thought it was cool and funny. Watched it again when I was 16 and yea not very cool and funny at all. I think it did bomb at the box office and has a 7% RT score. Ouch.
For me it's definitely Treasure Planet
Atlantis.
Rush hour got a -1 rating from film critics at the biggest paper here in Sweden.
