The film received backlash from conservative Christians, grossing less than $100 million in the United States since its release on June 17—a feat that “Toy Story 4” accomplished within just days of its release. That film went on to gross over $434 million in the United States.
This also isn’t the first time Disney has explored stories involving preteen hygiene issues for girls. Earlier this year, Disney-Pixar released a feature film directly to its streaming platform titled “Turning Red.”
ForEveryMom editor Bri Lamm described the film as a “coming of age movie that no child needs and no parent asked for. It’s another attempt for Disney to shape the way our kids perceive the world, and project very mature topics onto unsuspecting viewers.”
