Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.

Star Wars

Marvel

Pixar

Over the years, Disney has gained a reputation for box office dominance with their various movie studios.  But not every movie is a winner.

This week, we go back to 2015 to look at one of the rare box office flops for Disney . . . Tomorrowland.

On paper, this movie should have been a home run.  It had a great director in Brad Bird, an A list star in George Clooney and a story that tied into the history of Walt Disney and Disneyland.

And yet, despite all of the that, basically no one went to see it.

So what went wrong?

We watched (the surprisingly good)Tomorrowland to find out, so join us as we look back on one of Disney’s lesser known films
