Steven Spielberg’s movie garnered generally positive reviews but faced competition from other animated films, such as Finding Dory, The Secret Life of Pets, and Ice Age: Collision Course.
Parents and children simply had too much choice when it came to what to watch that summer and left this particular film largely forgotten.
