Walt Disney Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 They made changes to the film that they felt were needed to release it theatrically. Those changes made the budget increase. The budget would have been lower if it went straight to DVD as originally planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmpro Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Tinkerbell cost more than Planes does, and it was DTV, and made solid profit.Then...all the sequels cost a lot less.The same will happen with Planes. The first film I believe is just absorbing some initial franchise costs which will pay off on the future films.I mean...if I had to guess...

Gopher Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Disney needs more movies like The Muppets. 45m budget, easy break-even success in theaters. It's their only live action film besides Pirates getting a sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The budget would have been lower if it went straight to DVD as originally planned. this. They had to put more effort in the animation after Disney announced that Planes would be released in cinemas. Just compare the very first teaser with the last trailer, the difference in quality is huge Edited August 11, 2013 by Goffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The animation for DTV films like Open Season 2 and 3 have subpar animation compared to Tinkerbell and Planes but I imagine they cost $15-20m, WB releases loads of animated DTV films ranging from DC to Scooby Doo and I've wondered how much they cost since the animation is pretty decent.
