Why has Walt Disney Animation Studios never made a big budget

No one really cares besides europeans

Wasn't Treasure of the Lost Lamp a big budget movie? I'm pretty sure it was shown in theaters.

The ducks are huge in South America as well as far as I know

Yeah I just remembered Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros indeed, but in my head they have always been classified as a special case. But yeah, they've made two Donald movies indeed.

And I forgot about Fun And Fancy free and Melody Time as well. They've made some Donald movies, but still not a single Scrooge appearance

Have they ever made a big budget Mickey one? I can't think of any movies starring Mickey or his friends showing in theatres besides Goofys.

Everyone would just be disappointed in it, so why bother?

Of course there is Fantasia, but Mickey has been degraded to the status of company mascot for decades now, and Disney is scared as shit to give away his blandness as a character because then his mascot value crumbles down

not necessarily, there are tons of Scrooge artists still alive and kicking who could help as creative advisors ( of course rosa probably won't sadly) and just as much awesome Scrooge comics that can function as scenario inspiration.
