From what I've heard (haven't seen it, but my friend has it in his comically large movie collection), it was when Don Bluth momentarily got out of his 90's rut, albeit with some help from Joss Whedon. It also tanked due to the ever-menacing animation age ghetto, sadly.

Yeah, it was a flop at the movies. Fox Animation Studios didn't know whether they should cater to kids or hardcore sci-fi fans, and ended up scaring away both groups.
Its become somewhat of a cult classic in recent years, from repeat showings on Teletoon and other channels.

It is definitely one of Bluth's better films.

I'll admit I'm not one of Bluth's biggest fans, partly because I associate him with an aesthetic common in poor 2D animated movies that get shown to pass time in elementary school (don't think too much about that description). That's an inevitable by-product of his help in kicking off the renaissance age of animation [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation], however, and I'll admit The Secret of Nimh was pretty good (sequel's a prime example of the aforementioned kind of bad animated movie, though. Haven't seen An American Tail).

 

[Snotnarok]

It's fantastic, but it did horrible because ...I forgot why. I just remember reading it wasn't a big hit.

Now it's gotta be a cult classic

 

[wolfister]

I really love that movie.

 

[Jodah]

I liked it, not something I would buy but if I saw it on one of those old movie channels I would probably watch it again.

Don't blame the sequel of Nimh on Bluth. He was long gone from the studio when that atrocity was made. The only sequel of his work that was done by Bluth was Bartok the Magnificent. Everything else was done by the studios later using whoever they could hire to do the job.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

BEST MOVIE.

It failed at the Box Office when it came out because Fox didn't know how to market it. Back then making an "adult cartoon" was a tough sell.

I wonder if it's where Whedon got his original Firefly idea from.

Yeah, all of the Bluth film sequels (minus that one), were done by different people, and noe were ever as good as the original. The worst example has to be the Land Before Time sequels.
There are nineteen fucking movies, and a tv series. Jesus, if that's not selling out, I don't know what is.

 

[Callate]

I feel like as a movie it's a little hit-and-miss, but it's definitely worth seeing, and should have fared better than it did. The "Cosmic Castaway" segment is especially effective. ("But I'm not broken/ In my dream, I win...")

 

[Chancie]

I saw it when I was really young and I didn't understand it at all. Maybe I should see it again, now that I'm older...

My dad had watched it with me, though, and he really liked it.

 

[WilliamRLBaker]

it was pretty good.

 

[newfiegirl 110]

I've seen it a couple of times, and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Good story.

 

[Beartrucci]

I remember watching it a lot when I was younger because I really enjoyed it, but unfortunately I can't remember any of the characters or the storyline anymore. I can only vaguely remember like 10 seconds of the movie and that's it. Although this sounds like a good reason for me to get a copy of the movie and watch it again.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

I had some of the action figures as a kid. Never did see the movie

Lalalalalala, the sequels never happened.

But yea, poor guy, not only does he get passed around studios like a hot potato he gets t watch his previous works get ass raped for loose change.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

I watch it with my father, he loved that movie.

 

[Asickorphan]

It was an ok movie but my brother loves it to death... >,>

 

[assassinslover]

I didn't see it, no, but I found it in a discount DVD bin in Walmart when I was 13, bought is and fell in love.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

I haven't seen that movie in ages! By which I mean "must find!" Stupid moving making us get rid of all our VHS tapes...

 

[Cabamacadaf]

I wanted to watch it when it came out, but I never did. I should probably watch it some time.
