Not only did it come out the same month as the 2nd Chipmunk movie (which is trash but it made double what TPATF did). You remember what came out literally one week after it?Avatar. It went up against what was the highest grossing film of all time (until Endgame). They played themselves.Don’t forget how Disney released one of their last 2D animated films of the era Treasure Planet on the same day as the first Harry Potter film and refused to delay the release even though they knew they would have made more money. They purposefully sabotaged their 2D animated films.I’ve been re-watching all those Disney renaissance films, cause kids and Disney+ (don’t @ me, it’s easier than piracy), and yeah, the animation really holds up. Not so much with the 3D films (looking at you, Toy Story). -- source link
