Spaceballs (1987)
As stated in previous threads, there are lots of reasons why DVDs are still popular today:
- Unawareness of, or indifference to, DVDs' subpar video/audio quality.
- For most people, DVDs "just work".
- Studios and manufacturers did a poor job of educating the public about the different formats.
- Streaming/digital is too convenient for the public to consider physical media.
- People are unable/unwilling to upgrade their tech.
- DVDs are cheaper and more ubiquitous than Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs.

Yes, The Wild Robot is technically an IP owned by the author Peter Brown.
But that's not gonna make people take a chance on it, especially when movie tickets are so expensive
This is why original movies do better on streaming, where there is a low barrier for entry. Because if you don't like it, at least it cost you nothing, and you can stop watching aat any time.
