Nope I admit that I liked it very much. I wonder if people just were tired of that story or something else came out near it...I blame country Bears lol
Actually I just have no idea why it bombed

I don't really care if they do another 2D film, because in my book the only one that ever truely mattered to me was Robin Hood.

I can't say enough good things about Lilo and Stitch, the beautiful backgrounds, the unique (to say the least) characters, the Hawaiian culture, and Elvis Lol! I fell in love with it.

I felt similarly to Emperor new Groove. The characters made that movie gold for me.

Man, those two were just absolutely great. Of course, while Disney had a large period of success with Stitch (3 sequals- 2 being from the animated series, said animated series, and a Japanese reimagining), but they treated ENG like a second class citizen... and what I hate are animation elitists that talk about "oh yeah, well the original concept was about an Emperor that loved his country... blah blah blah blah..." I'm sure the original concept wouldn't have been as imaginative or memorable as it came out to be. Of course, Disney made the decision to hide the film behind the dreadful 102 Dalmatians sequel, and that got all the promotion, toys, etc. etc. Went NUTS trying to find a simple Llama Kuzco plush.

One every other year is alright, I guess... gives them time to think about the projects... but considering, and this is without Pixar, they'd have 2 CGI movies every year, almost seems like a cheat...

I was floored that Hunchback got a G rating when I saw it. I remember quite a number of parents removing their children from the theater during the infamous "Hellfire" song. But it was quite a fantastically done movie. Beauty and the Beast will always be my favorite though.

Glad to hear the hand-drawn stuff is coming back to the cinemas. An every other year offering seems good to me. That leans more towards quality rather than quantity.

Seems like these features needed a rest. The late 90's-00's film I liked was Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Tarzan, Treasure Planet, Home on The Range etc did'nt tickle my tastebuds tbh. Does'nt mean they were bad films though.

I think that it depends how big their team will be for these films. Traditional animation is a tedious process. I may be wrong but in my experience, of doing a lot of traditional and a little bit of 3D, the hand drawn always takes longer unless you have a pretty large team. production costs are different as well for each medium as well.

Did you actually find the Kuzco Llama plushie? That would be soo cool to have. I have quite a few stitches

I love that movie!! Milo Thatch was my homeboy, and Michael J. Fox being the VA of that character=win.

I don't mind if the new 2-D Disney films are coming out only once every two years. As said in previous posts, we're lucky to be getting that at all. I just hope that whatever new things they come out with have that same sense of epic awesomeness as Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, etc...we don't need sequels to old stuff. We need new stuff that's just as good...or better.

The animation in Atlantis was pretty and Michael J Fox is my boy, but that movie was horrible.

I never saw it all the way through... saw a bit of it when I was at my parents' a few months ago... the little blob thing was cute, but I couldn't formulate an opinion about the rest of it.

Dear god....I agree with Joe-Eyeball. Disney's Robin Hood is one of my all time favorites.

I think Disney are setting to do that again with Princess & The Frog. It looks like the big D are trying to get thier spark back.

I'm glad to not be the only one on this thread that likes Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

I thought that movie was pretty cool.

My favorite movies though are "Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast".
