Description
One of Disney’s most genuinely unjust flops was the Pixar-produced “Turning Red”. The coming-of-age fantasy won rave reviews, especially for its cultural representation and honesty about puberty. Certainly, such content in a children’s movie sparked controversy. But with COVID-19, Disney’s real error was domestically debuting the big-budget movie on Disney+... without a premium fee. The international theatrical release raked in just over $21 million. Disney sacrificed a blockbuster hit, but surely didn’t foresee a roughly $170 million loss. This prompted a theatrical re-release in 2024, which didn’t really help. “Turning Red” had already been widely seen - and is poised to become a classic.
