5 Worst Performing Disney Animated Movies of All Time

2. Mars Needs Mom

Estimated Financial Loss: $110.8 Million

Mars Needs Moms was a 2011 American 3D computer-animated sci-fi film made by Walt Disney Pictures. Surprisingly, despite being a Disney movie, it turned out to be a major flop at the box office, marking Disney’s worst financial setback. With a budget of $150 million, the film’s earnings were only $39.2 million, leading to an estimated loss of  $100 million. This substantial loss earned the movie a notorious place among the biggest box office failures. Criticism was aimed at the lackluster marketing strategy for Mars Needs Moms, which failed to effectively promote the film. Unlike other Disney films, its marketing campaign wasn’t as comprehensive, which might have contributed to its poor performance.
