But Disney marketing is deadly afraid of being perceived as having some political affiliation. Despite the fact that they will bend over backwards for China, and the whole kerfuffle with Florida. Deep down it's a movie about migrants, and that is a hot topic. This unfortunately kneecapped both the writing and the marketing. That movie could've been so much more and be a giant hit, but all that creative potential was squandered to protect the bottom line.
