Part 2/12:
Despite hitting the jackpot with Lilo and Stitch, Disney’s other releases have faced steep declines. Films like Snow White, Elio, Captain African-Amean, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four have all underperformed or outright failed at the box office. This glut of failures is particularly notable given the company’s previous promise to focus on quality over quantity and to prioritize original content—values seemingly abandoned in favor of sequels, prequels, and live-action remakes of animated classics.
