I hate how Disney has brutally ignored this film ever since its premiere. It´s a crime against humanity that beautiful Eilonwy is not perceived as an A-list Disney princess.

the movie's theatrical release: FAIL

the movie's vcr release: FAIL

the movie's dvd release: FAIL

@peterfinnfilms A few good reviews is all you need really.

With all this remake and reboot culture that surrounds Hollywood these days, a well-promoted, honest to goodness sequel to an obscure film would be more than welcome. Like I said, there's plenty of material, six books. All we need really is an executive who liked and will champion it, and the loyal consumers to drum up interest by buying the film. It could work!

@MrLunitunz

I know Ebert liked it, but Siskel didn't. It got a few good reviews from well respected critics, but overall reaction to it was generally pretty mixed. And I'm not saying it was a bad film (although it was flawed); I actually enjoyed it. And I agree, Disney has definitely made worse movies. The Aristocats, Dinosaur, Home on the Range, Chicken Little, etc. But I'm not sure the movie deserves a second shot: even 25 years after its release, it's still pretty obscure.

[MrLunitunz]

@peterfinnfilms Look at who's giving good reviews. Roger Ebert, the critic who could literally make-or-break a film, give it 3 1/2 stars out of 4. And most of the people who said it was bad said it was so because it was either too dark or not dark enough

And this isn't the worst film Disney ever made, Disney made far worse and they continue to stand by those films. There are six novels, plenty of material to cannibalise to give this movie a sequel and thus another shot, and it deserves one.

@MrLunitunz

I'm not saying it deserved to bomb. I'm saying it's not surprising Disney has ignored it so considering how big of a bomb it was. But what do you mean, "excellent reviews"? It has a 57% on RT. That's hardly a ringing endorsement.

[MrLunitunz]

@peterfinnfilms The success of any film is ultimately down to two things: It's innate quality and the amount of promotion. Clearly Disney didn't promote the film enough for it to really make some money, despite the excellent reviews, it lost to the Care Bears movie of all things.

Disney could easily make a legitimate sequel. It's common practice these days to give a film with either critical or commercial success another shot with a sequel and they based this movie on only two of the books.

This film got overshadowed at the box office by "Back to the Future"...

...very similar to what happened with "The Secret of NIMH", getting over shadowed by "E.T."

is it just me, or does his hair color randomly swap between red and brown?

I hope the deleted scenes are part of the movie and not merely in the deleted scenes section.
