Is it enough to cancel out the good of the film, though? Let's take a closer look to find out. Mole: You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! (One scene involving the film's main comic relief, Mole, is shown) Yeah, it has some awkward moments and some story threads that don't make sense, but the ideas, visuals, and characters I think are all memorable and do leave a strong enough impact. And while I can't act like this is one of Disney's best, I do find myself enjoying it just as much now as when it came out. While overseas, it did better, like Black Cauldron, it severely underperformed.
Americans didn't take, making $84 million on a $120 million budget. So they put a lot of their top talent onboard, including, like I mentioned, Joss Whedon, who always wanted to make an imaginative sci-fi adventure like the ones they grew up on. It had a PG rating, which, back then, for their animated films, was rare, they wanted to tell a story leaning more towards older kids, and they were pushing to be seen as more aggressive and adult. Like in the 80s, though, they experimented with different ideas, and the one often seen as the Black Cauldron of the time was 2001's Atlantis: The Lost Empire. True, Pixar was doing great, but everything from their 2D department was not pulling in the numbers they hoped, resulting in cinematic hand-drawn films being replaced with 3D animated films later. NC (vo): Disney hand-drawn films in the 2000s were kind of like Disney hand-drawn films in the 80s. (The film's title is shown, before showing its footage) If you were to combine the people who made Hunch back, Avengers, Lion King, Last of the Dogmen, and Finding Nemo together, what would you get? (Several critic quotes speaking about what's about to be mentioned are shown on Rotten Tomatoes as NC quotes several) A blandly conceived, uninspired, exhausting, bland adventure that doesn't hold enough water to drown a rat much less a civilization.that I kinda like. If you try to take my quarter away from me, I will not hesitate to give you a dirty look. (Suddenly, we cut to Malcolm and Tamara now bums hanging out with Chester A. Two comic book teams and a theatrical masterpiece? By God, we are not gonna make the same mistakes. Tamara: Put everything we got into those projects! We are in it for the long haul. Malcolm: A sequel to Avengers, a Shakespearean movie, and the Justice League. Even if something he does tanks, he'll find his audience eventually. Tamara: Okay, we gotta play the long game here. Malcolm: Currently the most popular creator in Hollywood. Malcolm: Cabin in the Woods did well, too, and Firefly got a cult following. Malcolm: Avengers is one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. (Too late another "ka-ching" sound is heard) Tamara: Well, we're not gonna lose a bundle. Tamara: Avengers? Isn't the only other film he directed that Serenity bomb? Malcolm: A horror-comedy called Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers movie. Tamara: Jesus! They all tanked! Okay, what does he have coming up next. We're not gonna make the same mistake again.
Submarine cartoon you were wrong to root movie#
Malcolm: Uh, a show called Firefly, a show called Dollhouse, and a movie called Serenity. Tamara: What? Well, what else has he got coming up? Malcolm: Oh, my God! Buffy's becoming a smash hit. (Suddenly, a "ka-ching" sound is heard as an image of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is shown on the computer) Tamara: (laughs) Who the hell would watch something like that? Don't invest in him at all. Malcolm: And Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which he's also turning into a show. Malcolm: Wrote Atlantis: The Lost Empire. (An image of Whedon is shown on a computer Malcolm is on) Malcolm: We have an upcoming talent named Joss Whedon. I have a feeling he's the future of movies. Tamara: (speaking on the phone) Yeah, put 20 shares in the Shyamalan kid. (We start at a building called "The Hollywood Creative Stock Market", where we see Malcolm and Tamara working their respective jobs in the building)
