- Disney's 1990 animated sequel 'The Rescuers Down Under' was immediately crushed by the success of 'Home Alone' and marked a low point for the studio before the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s.
- The 2022 animated adventure 'Strange World' was a huge $197 million loss for Disney, becoming the biggest box office bomb of the year despite opening over the typically lucrative Thanksgiving holiday.
