6. Mars Needs Moms (2011)

Disney's motion-capture animated film Mars Needs Moms tanked hard at the box office, raking in only $39 million against a $150 million budget. The outdated animation style coupled with a weak storyline failed to appeal to both kids and adults alike. With underwhelming marketing to boot, the film proved to be one of Disney's biggest financial flops. The disappointing film spelled the end of mo-cap studio Robert Zemeckis's ImageMovers Digital. Nevertheless, beneath the ambitious stride of pushing animated technology, Mars Needs Moms stands as a cautionary tale because storytelling takes precedence over visual effect.
