Rather than Iron Giant, which is almost too easy, I invoke Treasure Planet Budget- $140 million Box Office- $109 million Treasure Planet was planned as more of a gift for its creators than its eventual (and rather poorly-defined) audience. It's a re-imagining of a classic story, a rare Disney animated sci-fi, a first in a number of animation techniques, and an exploration of something rather different. Some dorks, teens at the time, have retained their love for it; others discovered it later as it was one of the Disney films released relatively quickly and at relatively modest prices. Was the film wrong, or the timing? The marketing? The very way it was produced, as a "treat" for animators who should have known better? If you know the plot of Treasure Island, you know the plot of Treasure Planet. Its story is something else entirely. Pick fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Sep 6, 2013 |

Also if anyone were to take that from me I would stab everyone.

It's not really a fair contender either because LAIKA Studios isn't under the same financial pressure of other studios since the CEO is a billionaire's son who mostly gets to do what he wants. In a good way, they make the best films (on the planet Earth). They've discussed how they could have made the film more marketable; they literally chose not to. It's more like a super high-budget art piece than a film in the traditional Hollywood financial sense.
