Harvey and Bob Weinstein really wanted to get some payback at their old bosses at Disney, who they continuously clashed with at their times as studio heads of the then-Disney-owned company Miramax. As Harvey and Bob set out on their own with The Weinstein Company, they looked to have their own steady output of animated cinema to get back at Disney and their animated motion pictures. But in the decade since they started up the company, well, they've hardly made a dent in the world of American animation cinema. Films like
Hoodwinked Too! and
Escape From Planet Earth faced production woes while others experienced numerous release date delays until they were just pulled off the schedule altogether.
Underdogs is in the latter category of animated cinema that comes from The Weinstein Company.
