I remember getting excited about a new Pixar movie. Then Disney. No more excitement. :\

I had the look up that film to jog my memory of what it was actually about. Looks like it went the way of the 12" Macbook though; neat in concept, shaky in execution, and ultimately forgotten by time.

In the Top 10 for Domestic Revenue in 1998. Made $360 million globally. I’d say most movies will be forgotten by time.

Wildly successful children’s movie seen by many millions of children.

I remember it being fairly cutting edge at the time, an accomplishment that helped bolster the nascent Pixar’s reputation as a global animation powerhouse.

Out of curiosity, what about its execution was shaky, and what would you do differently?
