>>104446438Disney purposely made it bomb to kill any future use of the Deep Dive technology. It was to expensive and they needed an excuse to drop 2D all together, so they sabotaged this work (a work that was forced on them by the writers demands, it wasn't a corporate idea) in order to justify burying hatchet and moving to the next generation of Disney films.
It is though unironically one of my favorite films of all time.
