In fairness to Miller, his financial successes tell as much of a story as his flops. Miller’s original Mad Max was once the most profitable movie of all time thanks to the huge amount that the release earned against a minuscule budget, proving that Miller was adept at doing a lot with a little. However, the studio’s reticence was also understandable, since Mad Max: Fury Road had gone through many more revisions than the relativity straightforward Happy Feet 2 and the franchise had been off cinema screens—and thus, out of the public’s mind—for far longer than that family comedy series.
That said, the original Happy Feet was a relatively well-liked, if unmemorable, animated movie. In contrast, the earlier Mad Max movies made a megastar of Mel Gibson (and defined his directing career), popularized an aesthetic that still defines post-apocalyptic action cinema to this day, and made hundreds of millions of dollars despite their humble beginnings as a cheap independent exploitation movie. As such, even after the financial failure of Happy Feet 2, studios knew better than to bet against George Miller and Max Rockatansky when it came to the production of Mad Max: Fury Road.
