Yes: as civil, engaged, and willing to think against the grain. I appreciate your comments and look forward to reading more of them (even if they’re out of step with my current feelings!).

I forgot all about Brother Bear, going to have to watch that again for fun.

That's very kind of you to say. Of course, the feeling is mutual.

Ohh my bad, I didn't see the bottom!
It makes sense though. The property provides far more future value than Brother Bear, so its initial box office performance had no bearing on the decision.

Brother Bear is a decent film, but totally lacking in the fun, whimsy, and vibrancy needed for the ride.

It also lacks the right kind of musical style for a Splash Mountain replacement. Phil Collins is nice and all, but not right for this.
I also think while Brother Bear made more money initially, it has faded out of the general pop culture consciousness, whereas PatF has become more popular over time.

Right before the big drop…
“Coda… I have something to tell you.. about a monster…”
The rule of thumb for theatrical profitability is that advertising and some administrative functions aren't in the public budget. They add 50% to the cost of the movie. Also, the studio only gets half of the Box Office, the theaters get the other half. So, here are their takes:
So, good for Brother Bear being profitable. But... it's critics' score is abominable. And the audience score is OK. Whereas PatF got much higher scores with critics and better scores with the audience.
PatF made up for the theatrical deficity with $118M in gross domestic video sales (VHS/DVD/BluRay).

The missing ingredient is alligator tail.
In a perfect world, Louis would have been written as another human who made a deal with Dr. Facilier, who gave him musical talent in exchange for his soul and wound up transformed into a gator….a nifty little nod to the story of bluesman Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil.
Heck, maybe Ray and his family were all transformed as well. That would have given the funeral scene a lot more weight.
Alas, we have random animals talking for no reason (the wild alligators, John Goodman’s old hound dog) and its never brought up again.

I'm sad.
Construction updates often have that affect on people.
