Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film's catastrophic $150M loss directly caused ImageMovers Digital to shut down and Disney to abandon motion-capture animation entirely.
The 'uncanny valley' backlash here helped push animation back toward stylized designs—Pixar's Inside Out exists partly because this failed.
