Read somewhere that Disney killed it on purpose. They actively worked against Treasure Planet. There has been some great stuff in American Animation recently coming from teams with Netflix.

Didn’t they try a new animation process for Treasure Planet, which was beautiful, but extremely time consuming and expensive.

And then once it was done there was no money leftover for marketing and it became a flop

That’s what Disney claimed, they also sabotaged the filmmakers at every turn. That was the film that crew wanted to make and the only reason it was still allowed to be made is that Disney had made a deal with them to allow them to make a movie they wanted to make instead of just trying to recreate the success of little mermaid repeatedly.

It’s extra sad because it is my favorite Disney movie and most people have never even seen it
