Yes. It's a sad thing when something that's popular elsewhere bombs in Japan because it's not as good as its' classic anime and because of newcomers like PriPara and Yo-Kai Watch. It may also be because if it's not British, based on a kids' book or made by Disney, Western Animation is a huge failure there. This is why many non-Japanese animated films bomb and/or get released direct to video (a surprising example of this is Rio, and the second movie never eyen got released in Japan!).
