Disney+ has removed Crater from its platform just seven weeks after it premiered.
The sci-fi adventure follows Caleb Channing (Isaiah Russell-Bailey), a young boy who was raised on a lunar mining colony and is about to be moved to a distant planet following the death of his father.
The film also features Mckenna Grace, best known for portraying child bride Esther Keyes in The Handsmaid's Tale.

But despite its $50 million (£39 million) budget, the film – directed by Kyle Patrick Alvarez – can no longer be watched on Disney+.
It comes after Disney also removed over a hundred original shows and films from its streaming services around the world, such as Big Shot, Willow, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Better Nate Than Ever and The One and Only Ivan.

Crater, which debuted on May 12, scored a respectable 64% on aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
Last year, Grace reprised her Handmaid's Tale role as Esther in the fifth season, where her character was practically put through hell and back.
Opening up about how she deals with such hard-hitting roles, the star said: "I'm just honoured to be playing the roles that are actually my age, to be playing these young women who are going through this, because it’s exactly what I say all the time about playing my age in Handmaid's Tale.
"If we're that uncomfortable with me acting out these scenes, why aren’t we doing something for the young women who are going through it?"
The Handmaid's Tale streams on Hulu in the US and both Channel 4 and Prime Video in the UK.
