God, I know!

You'd think with that cast they'd have been able to advertise and spread the word, not to the degree of Batman or Toy Story sure but enough to turn a profit at least! Add in the internet and what a giant resource that is now to marketing it's abysmal that the movie made so little in returns with that cast.

Crickey.

What's worse is it isn't the only movie like that. Probably would make a good college essay though. So would this (and it'd have been great if they'd assigned something like this when I was in Uni supposedly studying this stuff) - I'd have done more research lol. As it was this was a spur of the mind thing.

Someone from that film's studio needs to get on the asses of the marketing department, cause that is a failure of epic proportions. Memetic proportions.

Glad that you liked it though! Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested.
