    This was a financial flop for Disney that became a cult classic and finally turned a profit in video rentals. Let's look at this logically (especially since I was 12 when it came out and as a 12 year old I was about all things movie related), this wasn't a failure of the film, it was a failure of marketing. No one heard about it, no one knew about it, they failed in the marketing campaign, no real buzz was around it, so it flopped. Now if you ask me... don't cast Bill Pullman in musicals, that could be a correction. But in all honesty, the songs were catchy, the case was great, the setting was appropriate and the plot was engaging. It has everything it needs to be a decent film... ... everything but the initial marketing.
