Book Presentation:
This book explores the history of Disney’s biggest live-action movie failures from the late 1970s to the late 2010s. That stretch of time was a transformative period in which the company made many financial gains but gradually lost its identity, which had largely been synonymous with founder Walt Disney. The chapters explain why each movie was made, the casting process, production details, and why each movie failed financially. Covered here are cult classics like Tron and Hocus Pocus alongside more well-known bombs like John Carter and The Lone Ranger.
