On this week's return of Box Office Bombs, we revisit a literal bomb... or a space bomb to be correct. Watch as Brad Bird's 1999 directorial debut takes us back to a time when paranoia ran high and imagination was spurred by the cosmos. There aren't many of these box office failures that make us genuinely a little sad that they never made the money they were perhaps supposed to, but this most certainly is one of them. This was one of the most creative yet well-rounded animated flicks to be released... but it wasn't under the Disney backing. Oh well, that's life. Brad Bird would go on the get his well deserved recognition later on anyway, so not all is lost.
