Disney’s Biggest Flops: John Carter

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. But before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! After bringing back the Main Street Electrical Parade at the beginning of summer, Disneyland will be ending it on September 1. Rumor has it that Disney is considering an afternoon entry for annual pass holders. And in EPCOT, there’s a new Beauty and the Beast show on Spaceship Earth for Food and Wine Festival. This week, we’re talking about one of the biggest Disney movie flops of all time: John Carter. Based on a 1912 serialized story turned book, the 2012 sci-fi movie was plagued with difficulty since its inception. We give a lot of this history, discuss its source material, and then finally, give our opinions on the movie. Why did it fail? We think there’s too many reasons to name here, so you’ll just have to listen to find out! As always, thank you so much for listening!
