Well, another top Disney name leaves the room.
Rich Ross the head of the movie studios has fallen on his sword after John Carter of Mars has become Disney's biggest flop of all time.
Having seen the film and having read the books as a youth, I'm not surprised. They tried to get far too much in and it ended up a very long-winded and pointless film and the re-writing of great chunks of the story didn't help. Good CG didn't save it with the plot stripped down and incomprehensible.
Maybe they should have gone the Tarzan route and made it an animated film in a lighter vein with songs.
Yet another childhood favourite ruined.
