Technically not a Disney production but rather a production of Robert Zemeckis's animation studio, based on a Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County) book.

I also want to know what the 160 mil spent on The 13th Warrior, was actually spent on. -- nm - Jovian Jan 1, 21:18 16
- I can see how period/specialty pieces can get expensive. What I'm rally curious about is $170 million on Evan almighty. -- nm - mafic Jan 1, 23:14

  - Did you work on "Trapped"? It was filmed in the same area as 13th Warrior -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 22:08 1
    - 2002, Kevin Bacon, $6m USA total on $30m budget (sounds like a flop to me) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 22:12
  - So did my stepdad (which I think I've mentioned before) heheh -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 21:39 3
    - *gasp* Maybe dp3 *IS* your stepdad! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 1, 21:45 2

- Antonio Banderas's hair -- nm - eag Jan 1, 21:20

  - And watched once. nm - Dignan Jan 1, 21:21 4
    - It wasn't a bad movie. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 1, 21:24 3
      - it was boring. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 06:23
      - I agree with this. It was perhaps a bit laughable at times, but it had good bits. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 22:00
      - As I hace said, we saw it at a drive in with The Sixth Sense and we left wishing we only had seen 13th. -- nm - Spawn Jan 1, 21:51
not to be confused with Yvonne Craig's classic film: Mars Needs Women -- (link) - peglegpete Jan 1, 21:15
lol #9, Stealth. What a stinker that was -- nm - Jovian Jan 1, 21:11
Also, the failure of this movie led to the collapse of Zemeckis's animation studio and the canning of their "Yellow Submarine" reboot. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 1, 20:49
