Maybe this film could someday replicate the eventual success The Nightmare Before Christmas enjoys now. As said previously, though, the film has gained a new lease on life thanks to DVD and television. While it performed well with critics, the film flopped and flopped hard financially. According to Word of God, this film was made to be Disney's big film for "single parent, Generation X" kids, as reflected in the darker family subtext. It portrays a father-son bond between the two main characters and some amazingly choreographed action sequences. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the designs of the ships themselves, and the design of John Silver. In places where the two might have clashed, Cyberpunk and Steampunk technology were used to merge them together. Today, it's become a Cult Film thanks to its intricate blend of CGI and traditional animation.Īn important point of the design of absolutely everything, was that the universe had a 70/30 ratio of the blend between Victorian-era style, and its technological capacities. Whatever the reason, many fans blame this film for rudely ending Disney's confidence in hand-drawn animation for features, and which is what started the decline in their production of such films, closing their studios until 2009. Also notable for an extreme case of Dueling Movies, in its race with the similar film Titan A.E. It may also have suffered due to the Disney Marketing Department's decision to advertise it primarily during time slots occupied by kids' shows, when its premise and content are more suitable for older audiences.
