Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the most expensive traditionally animated film ever made at $140 million—and it bombed so hard it helped kill hand-drawn animation at Disney for a decade. A crime.
Jim Hawkins was Disney's first emo protagonist—designed with a soul patch and earring specifically to appeal to early-2000s teens who felt misunderstood. It worked on exactly twelve of us and we would DIE for him.
