I think when one small group holds power, the effects for everyone else are usually shitty.
The issue may be more related to power itself, rather than to those who hold it.
True, except a system that explicitly rewards negative character traits such as greed, ruthlessness, and selfish opportunism will inevitably lead to inherently shitty people gaining and retaining power.
How would you explain, as an example, a system in which certain individuals would acquire and would hold power, other than by presenting the negative traits such as the ones you mention?
The motive of my comment was to prompt critical reflection on the more basic essence of power, not just particular expressions of power.
While I love Atlantis and Treasure Planet, they also flopped massively. The thing about unions is a valid point and does suck a lot, but sadly I don't think Disney would have made another film like these anyways.
Take this with a grain of salt because my memory is fuzzy and I just read it in a comment somewhere.
The reason Treasure Plant flopped was because Disney wanted it to fail to use it as an excuse to shift to 3D. They barely marketed the film and released it in November, which meant it would be competing with the Christmas films. And when the movie had won an award, no one was there to receive it cause they weren't expecting it to win anything.
The movie actually used a lot of 3D animation in combination with its traditional 2D animation. I don't think they made a movie fail intentionally to excuse a shift to the very technology said movie employed a lot more than their prior ones. If anything, the knowledge gained during the production helped them for sure.

If only the studio didn’t meddle with the project and watered it down from a pg-13 rating
In the end, it was a movie for no one
I really enjoyed it as it was. It's too bad it couldn't have been better, but I still liked it a lot.
You take that last sentence back. I love that movie, cheesy music and all.
I am a Cosmic Castaway!
Oh I love it…I was talking about the mainstream audience
I loved that movie! It represented what American animation could be if they took their heads out of their asses.
Damn what are these from? I don't recognize any of these frames but it looks pretty cool
Top is Treasure Planet Bottom Left is Prince of Egypt Bottom right is Atlantis
Treasure Planet. Great movie, highly recommended.
+1 for Treasure Planet, best Disney movie by far and away
Also shout out to Prince of Egypt because I'm pretty sure it's made me question my sexuality more than any other animated media
Looking at it now, the characters aren't really hot, but when I was younger I thought Moses was fine af
Right? Egyptian gender confusion boiled right down.
