In anticipation for Inside Out 2, Pete Docter recently stated in an interview that Pixar directors need to focus on clear mass appeal with more sequels and spin-offs instead of "autobiographical" stories, calling out movies such as Turning Red and Elemental...despite the fact that Lightyear, a Toy Story spinoff, vastly underperformed and was met with negative reception, while Elemental not only had critical acclaim, but ended up making a profit for the company. It's clear Disney and Pixar has NO IDEA what they're doing and they're no longer dancing around what they really mean when they imply that they're alienating general audiences.

I think Dana Terrace put it best, "There's something very disgusting about telling directors, writers, and artists their experiences and inspirations aren’t "appealing" enough for the masses".
That she did. In addition to this line from Luz as it displays Disney's current state "... she has no ideas of her own!!"
fr.... honestly in my opinion, all the creative minds behind the good shows like the owl house and amphipia and all those other great show creators just come together and make their own company
@@Rayvidsidk heck yeah. I'd be down for that if they banded together to form an indie company.
Disney immediately buys them out.
Wouldn't be surprised.
Agreed with Dana Terrace's statement.
There are several major problems within Disney on why their movies are flopping. One, budgets, the budgets are too high. $200,000,000 for Elemental. Really?! It cost 150 million for Spider-verse and Puss in Boots. You can't make a movies cost a quarter of $1 billion then expect it to make $1 billion just because you're a big company.
Two, marketing, the marketing for every movie from Disney has been garbage. No interviews, no hot ones, barely any trailers, no promotions with Disney RUclipsrs, and the list goes on. Marketing is vital for any movie and if it's bad, then the movie will get no money.
Three, victim blaming, they are blaming the audience for their failures and not themselves. No, it's not anyone's fault but yours that your movie bombed, Disney! if you blame the audience, then they're not going to watch anything you make because they know you're going to get mad at them and not yourself for why your movie failed.
Fourth, target audience, let's be real, Disney shouldn't be marketing to kids or any side of the political party. They NEED to target the parents. Parents are the ones who decide what their kids watch. Parents are the ones who will spend their money on their kids so they are the ones who Disney needs to market to. If parents don't want their kids watching Disney, then they are lost as a company.
You say that as if parents in our modern world won't just cancel or boycott these movies as both sides of the aisle say if the movies don't support their political opinions. Creativity dies when you bend to the whims of mass appeal. I personally argue that marketing to parents won't work for the creation of truely creative movies and instead, directors should tell the stories they want.
@@edwarddu6919agreed. Kids with good taste were not fooled by what they were trying to do with 2023 Little Mermaid. Their target audience was black children and most of them didn't even care for seeing a black Ariel. And parents were proud to see how smart their kids are for seeing through Disney's bull****.
@@truthseeker9249 As a black person, it is extremely obvious that Disney made ariel black for diversity points.
@@Noahcheats445 I could just kiss you if my heart didn't belong to another. You have no idea how much I've wanted to slap the people who defend that dumpster fire of a movie. They used Halle for diversity clout and they used her as a shield. They knew that by casting a black Ariel they would be protecting themselves from any criticism. And it worked. You can't say one bad word about the movie without being called a racist. Even if you make a criticism that has nothing to do with Halle!!! Scuttlebutt was absolutely garbage for example. Awkwafina was nauseating as Scuttle. But you can't say that without someone bringing it back to Halle and saying you just don't like the movie because you can't handle a black Disney princess. Which isn't even a legitimate thing to obsess over in either direction because...ahem... *PRINCESS TIANA ALREADY EXISTS GODDAMMIT.* I'm sorry I just get very heated about that bull****.
You forgot 1 more point, originality.
Almost nothing Disney has made this past decade has not been a prequel, sequel or reboot. Especially in their live action department. And almost every villain they keep making is the same broken person who has good in them lately. They need to start bringing back villains who are just evil to be evil like scar & jafar or live action villains like the white witch from narnia
"When every film is appealing, no film will be"
- Syndrome
"You mean you killed off personal movies so that you could..... PRETEND TO BE ONE!"
Enough of cringe phrase and go see the movie before will get another box office bome disaster!!!
And when no film is appealing still no film will be
Something to point out, Despite making twice as Lightyear, Elemental is still technically a flop because of its oversized production and marketing budgets. That’s one of the problems, they spend too much on these films for them to make a profit.
Elemental wasn't a Flop at all, marketing costs? The reason it had an abysmal opening was them not giving it enough marketing to begin with 🤡🤡
Elemental probably made money by the home media (though it’s shrinking)
It's stuff like this that has caused me to turn to indie shows like Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, Murder Drones, and the Amazing Digital Circus. Do they have problems? Sure! But at least they are original ideas, instead of another sequel or spin-off or reboot or remake.
Love those. They're not always hits, but they're still unique and made from passion. I had so much fun watching HH despite how rushed it was.
Agreed. Current Pixar wishes they could make a movie as popular as TADC
Same with video games, more and more people are turning to indie titles and now western animation is going that route too.
This will probably never happen, but I hope for the day a 2D hand-drawn/traditionally animated indie animated show or movie is released
Lackadaisy, Punch Punch Forever! (which released a new episode yesterday), and Space King deserve WAY more love
Er, isn't Hazbin hotel published by Amazon prime?
Feel like if the First Inside Out and Coco came out today they would also get panned by corporations for feeling too autobiographical Inside Out literally existed because of Pete Doctor’s own Daughter and her emotions making the movie somewhat technically count as a autobiographical film
I think EVERY movie gets panned these days, there are YTs with original thoughts who might say they liked the movie but it didn’t live up to what they had hoped and wanted and people who say I don’t like the movie but for these specific reasons, other people are like hate get click, hate get views, hate get money and just hate on things only to feel that they will get an audience, (I really enjoy the Aladdin remake but not for the Genie, but I watched a couple just talk about how awful it is and it turned out they had never even seen it) wider general media sees this and thinks that they can give things negative reviews and people can click on their sites and articles. Like everything it started out with a small group of people watching things to give critical reviews and now a ton of YTs without creativity or intellect copy the model (not talking about this channel, I like this channel, the opinions are very insightful)
Pixar could learn a thing or two from Anton Ego’s speech on embracing and defending “the new” even when the world is often unkind to new creations… a speech from one of their *OWN F--ING MOVIES*
Isn't it insane how literally everyone in Hollywood is desperate to rebound in success while simultaneously avoiding ways to accomplish that because they are just that out of touch? Like, that breaking point of no return is fast approaching and they probably should wake up or get out.
And you especially have to wonder how the people at Pixar feel right now, cause I'm confident most of them don't approve of this directions themselves, especially with people like Domee Shi being a key member of the creative trust.
What choice do they have? Theatres are closing left and right, streaming is a moneyhole, and there's no place else to showcase their work.
I think people are jumping the gun and complaining too quickly 1) Alot of the sequels are fantastic so I wouldn't be worried 2) You can still make a creative movie that isn't inspired by the creator's personal experiences. I am an aspiring animator who grew up watching cartoons. Do I have to make a film about that. It might be cool but I could make an Indiana Jones style movie about treasure hunting 3) They can still inject some personal experiences into the movies 4) They are still going to make original stuff 5) Isn't it better to judge the movies on their own merit 6) That was always the tricky thing balancing art with commerce. The point is to make money at the end of the day.
I see u everywhere and you always have the best takes
I don’t think it’s just Pixar, remember the batgirl movie they made then never released, remember how we could’ve gotten a movie made by the same people who made spider verse about an favorite Batman beyond
That batman beyond would have actually made me watch a DC movie
That’s kind of sad, seeing that *The Batman* was one of the best Batman movies we’ve gotten in a long time.
Or what happened with Coyote vs ACME
@@luigiboi4244to be fair the Batman was way better than I thought it was going to be. But yeah it is sad 😢
EXCELLENT WORK. THE ROUND TABLE PIXAR DISASTER
Why is it we never listen to “if you try to satisfy everyone, you satisfy no one?”
Never heard of it actually. Sounds like something I need to follow
Honestly, i think Hollywood has no idea what they're doing anymore, besides burning goodwill, ruining everything that made the industry uniquely great, and forcing employees to rebel against them. Like, as a person who grew up with animation. I'm starting to have way more faith in indie media than mainstream media
This is heartbreaking.
Pixar executives are basically saying “we don’t care about originality, creativity, or personal experiences”
You’re telling thousands of people that they essentially don’t matter.
You’re telling your fans, THOUSANDS of people who finally started to see themselves or gain empathy for others with different experiences that THEY DON’T MATTER.
maybe pixar would've been better off had disney not bought them
I think every brand Disney has bought would've been better off not bought by Disney
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанцаtrue
They should have been independent, but on the other hand, if Warner Bros had owned Pixar, it would have been a mess, especially with David Zaslav at the helm of Warner Bros. Discovery, he would have done things we can't even imagine.
You can say that again
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанцаproblem though, Disney has the money. A lot of these brands might not have made it far on their own. They needed money to bring their visions to life

It’s funny because Pixar will often have a movie about a masculine experience, and I’ll have zero trouble enjoying the film as a woman. I don’t even notice nor care. Most movies speak to the masculine experience and yet few women complain. It’s only when you make a more female-focused movie that people get mad.
Double standards
I don't think ppl get angry at well made female experince based movies and if they do they are just sexist but most ppl get mad at cliche strong female characters that have no personality or character developement and are just plain boring and trying to tap into the young girl market. Even if they make money like Captain Marvel there is no doubt they suck ass. Watch Filmento's video about the new Charlie's Angels if u don't get what I mean
This!!
Like the Incredibles is literally a movie DEEPLY rooted in masculinity and nobody bats an eye. It’s also an amazing movie too
@@edgeribble I do understand what you mean, but Turning Red is in no way a case of this. We weren’t talking about such an instance, tbh. Turning Red is a legitimately good movie where the main character clearly has depth and flaws. So what you’re discussing doesn’t apply.
Idk, legit excited for Inside Out 2, but a FIFTH Toy Story feels dangerously close to edging into Land Before Time territory.
As someone that was that kid that watched TLBT and several of its sequels to death, while still being in its target audience age group for most of its releases I agree that there is a point where its to much. I mean its saying something when an 8 year old looks at looks at a new movie in one of their favorite series and goes nope to much I'm done (number 6 btw).
Oh boy, as someone who was alive during those days, when we saw land before time, I can say that I don't want toy story to become land before time.
More like Alpha And Omega territory. At least The Land Before Time's sequels after 4 were mainly just mediocre & at least there was SOME passion behind those as opposed to the Alpha And Omega sequels.
Bro Toy Story crossed that line with 4.
Yeah, I’m fine with a second Inside Out too
Sadly, most sequels feel like cash grabs.
Because they are
Because they are
It takes a whole level of denialism to look at a spin-off that flopped and an original movie that was well praised and did decently in the box office and conclude that it's best to make more of the spin-off movies that flopped. I've been a long time Pixar fan, but man it's so hard to be one right now when they are saying stuff like this.
To me, im a huge fan of Pete Docter, and i know for a fact this isnt like him and never was, i know this wasnt his idea. He puts heart and effort into Pixar. Hes being manipulated or forced somehow to being this news to his dismay
Crazy how 3 different channels just uploaded talking about how Pixar is screwing themselves
I'm picking the shortest video and being done with it.
What I find sad is my school is filled with a bunch of Pixar pessimists. They don’t like anything Pixar has done in the 2020s at all, creative or not.
9:16 "Curse Those Italians!" HELP
Another Toy Story? Really? After Lightyear too.
As a staunch defender of Toy Story 4, I really don't know what the hell you do in a Toy Story 5. I'll keep an open mind but man they've got an uphill battle
It’ll end up like ice age, hotel Transylvania, open season, boss baby, the minions, and trolls and even megamind 2
It sucks that Pixar is declining. Seriously. Not making original films and ones that stand out? That just sounds disappointing
It seems Iger’s influence is starting to infect Pixar…
It's been. For a long time.
Probably not iger is a big supporter of woke stuff
Disney sabotaged Pixar & is now forcing them to mainly focus on making sequels with less originals with Elio as the last original Pixar movie in a while!
Pixar started off at a nice medium rare, but now they’re well done; Pixar is COOKED.
Disney just makes FILM FECES these days!!!!!
And you're totally baked.
@@ZeldaSam1Not really. Encanto and Xmen 97 were pretty good.
Xmen '97 is not theirs, it's a re-release isn't it? Literally just a rehash of the original cartoon like the name implies. Idk maybe I'm wrong about it, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I agree tho encanto was pretty decent @Hypogean7
@@dr.calamity2079 You're definitely wrong about it. It's a continuation.
You basically summed up how every studio is reacting to the pandemic delay.
If Elio does well, Pixar will say “it’s a fluke because our other original stories this decade didn’t do well”
considering his filmography, I can't picture for the life of me Pete Docter of all people saying something like that unironically
either Disney TOLD him to say it, or the author of the article is twisting his words
More likely the former
everyone here who owns a company, never let a massive corporation like Disney buy it out NO MATTER WHAT. it is the only way to not end up like Pixar
I'd hope Inside Out 2 turns out a box office hit
Me too 💯
Me three.
It probably will. Pixar is throwing it down our throats. I’m not complaining tho, inside out 1 is my favourite animated film ever
I would also like to say: In late 2022 - 2023 people were hating on Pixar just because of lightyear not being the best and the last wish being so good made people say that Pixar has fallen off while dreamworks was on top plus the fact the Mario movie did so well for illumination people were making fun of Pixar’s box office issues and calling it woke despite elemental doing better than ruby Gillman and migration.
This also lead to turning red getting hate just to fit the anti-Disney movement.
During that time I felt like I was taking crazy pills because everyone was commenting on the Elemental trailer "this looks like hideous!", "This animation is garbage", "Pixar should be EMBARRASSED to be putting out a movie that looks like this". And I say this as a working professional animator, the movie looked technically great. The world was big and complicated and vibrant, the creativity that went into the character animation and movement of the different elements was interesting and dynamic and inventive, it was rendered gorgeously. I kept seeing this same vitriolic response to the trailers as if Pixar had made Food Fight 2 and I just didn't get it. It was a good looking movie.
@@pianist150 Yeah seriously.
You’d think it was foodfight with the amount of hate it got just for being apart of the Disney company.
People would say anything to act like Disney downfall is going on.
They weren’t in theatres!? In the U.A.E they were all released in theatres, maybe it’s because Disney plus wasn’t available in the emirates at the time , but I watched soul, Luca and turning red in theatres.
One thing I've noticed is that Pixar have never made a film based on a pre existing IP. Every film they've made has either been an original idea, or a sequel, prequel or spin off to said original idea. They've never adapted a book, comic or video game, and I'm kinda glad they haven't. And also blame Disney for this, Pixar deserve to thrive. And we don't hate minorities, we hate bad writing, and Lightyear was poorly written, but it wasn't the fault of the gay relationship.
I didn't even know Lightyear had a gay relationship-
Damn, I wasn’t expecting Schaffrillas to post about this at the same time!
That’s how you know everyone is pissed😭
Funny, I was just watching Schaffrillas' video about this
Man, Elemental made me tear up, and they have the audacity to say it's not relatable.
The Reason Strange World, Lightyear, and WISH failed and bombed hard at the box office was because they were all very bad movies and movies no one liked.
Wish showed how Soulless disney has become
Strange World was annoying
Lightyear was trying to make parody character like Buzz Lightyear a serious story
Not only that, Buzz Lightyear already have a cartoon show and they didnt even bother to use it as the main idea of the movie, even thought the cartoon is actually good. It like they forgot that Buzz Lightyear come from the same year as Toys Story...
The true way for an original animated feature to succeed it's to have creativity passion
Strange World was a LOT better than Lightyear and Wish, actually.
I don't know if it's been stated already.
But it's kinda funny that in 2022, DreamWorks released a sequel of a spinoff of one of their more signature and profitable brands of a character who debuted in that brand's first sequel (Puss in Boots) and became a huge success, critically and commercially with the film still being talked and mentioned around long after its release.
But a Spinoff film in that same year of one of Pixar characters from Pixar's 1st and successful brand is barely a blip on the radar. (Lightyear) with little word about them other than how medicore it was.
Makes you think, huh?
I liked Luca so much I saw it in cinema again
I like to see the reaction of Turning Red's Director Domee Shi after reading this paragraph. I bet she's thinking about going Panda Ming on Bob Iger's and Pete Doctor's asses.
All of Pixars recent films >>>>> Wish
I'd go so far as to say that all of Pixar's recent films are better than anything Disney's in-house studio has put out after 2016, with the possible exception of Encanto.
This may be personal preference, but I don’t think any of the Pixar films of the 2020s were bad. Sure they have their flaws, but they’re still definitely doing better compared to other studios
Can I be honest, after Cars 2, everything went downhill for the most part and I was more impressed with the shorts and wished they made films more experimental like the shorts.
Also thank you for calling out the stupidity of racist and toxic business practices because we need to clown that mentality as quickly as possible.
Didnt Pixar get real teenagers flanderized with these emotions to make the new emotions accurate and not pandering?
Yeah right. That's true.
No it's not. Are you high?
But I’m so hyped for IO2
What Pixar and other studios like Dreamworks, Sony and Ilumination don't seem to understand is that what the people dislikes is badly written stories. Turning Red and Soul were very good, speaking of themes a lot of people can relate like our relationships with our parents or what do we want to do with our lives. I cannot speak for Luca and Elemental because I haven't watched those but it seems to appeal to a lot of people. Lightyear on the other side, it was not that bad but it was pretty mediocre. The same can be said of Incredibles 2 even tho it's a little older. But is not like sequels are necessarily bad. Monster University and Cars 3 were pretty solid( again a bit older but it works), heck, even Toy story 4 worked even if it was a bit unnecesary in the story. The issue is that they don't let stories thrive in the hands of the creative teams and instead the executive are cuting past the edges, substracting the movies of their precious hearts. An example of this is clearly Wish, which is not pixar but is disney still.
Moving into dreamworks Puss in Boots 2 is a sequel of a Spin off!! And the movie was amazing because it innovate not only with its story but also its animation. On the other side, Kung Fu Panda 4 was a mess with barely anything good on it because the writing was bad. Now on their original movies, Ruby Gillman flopped hard and The Bad Guys thrived so again it's not necessarily true that new ideas are bad
It also doesn't work that the studios doesn't even respect their artists. Both Dramworks and Pixar have announced massive layoffs to save their precious millions. Prefering to use ai or cheap outsourcing, once again robbing the movies of the creativity that people loved
That voice you made @8:27 was SPOT ON!💯💯💯💯💯
In Disney and Pixar's defense: other studios like DreamWorks Sony Animation and illumination even their own ORIGINAL movies aren't doing well either movies like Ruby Gilman and Migration either flopped or really underperformed and they are still relying on sequels or adaptations like Kung Fu Panda 4 and Garfield movie and Despicable Me 4 and Beyond the Spider-Verse also it's kind of ironic how Elemental still became the highest grossing ORIGINAL animated film from any studio since Coco in 2017.
like he said in the video, sequels aren’t the problem. especially if they’re well written
I would have seen Ruby Gillman if it stayed in theaters long enough. I swear the 2 weeks it was in theaters was the 2 weeks I was traveling.
About Migration, it had gotten a better performance at the box office a little later on.
@@catholiccontriversyfortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you see it) it got dumped on Netflix
Sony animation is still continuing open season and hotel Transylvania that were both supposed to be dead a while ago
Hearing a movie is a sequel is like almost a guarantee I'm not watching it.
I was actually annoyed hearing that inside out 2 was gonna be a thing, Plus Disney just sucks.
Why not give it a chance? Not all sequels suck.
Elemental has skyrocketed to being my favorite movie. It really touched my heart. When I heard about it I wouldn't stop talking about going to see it for weeks. I just knew that I at least was going to like it because something about elements is up my alley and I'm a huge sucker for a good romance, especially an "interracial" romance. I absolutely loved it because Ember directly mirrors me. I'm not an immigrant and I'm black, not Asian. But still, discrimination and mistreatment from other people, family having high expectations for you and feeling like you can't be your true self around them, having a a fiery temper because you have a difficult time understanding and expressing your true feelings? Those are the ABCs of me. Wade perfectly mirrors my fiance (who's white) and it was like seeing our relationship on the big screen. I got a little emotional during some parts of it. Anyway I say all that to say that Elemental almost felt like old Pixar again. From the beautiful story with the movie really tugging at your heart strings (typical Pixar), the STUNNING animation and the fact that they weren't afraid to do a love story considering Disney has been trying to stay AWAY from love stories lately (cough cough *Wish* cough cough), it felt like something Pixar would have come up with 10 years ago. I would have loved to have grown up watching something like Elemental. 😍
I feel the same way. I heard nothing but negativity about Elemental when it was in theaters. Saw it at home with my husband and I was blown away, I got chills, we both laughed and cried. That movie deserves far better than it received. Definitely reminiscent of the old Pixar days.
@@oztippetarius I'm glad someone else sees this.
It's sad how this beloved studios is going down the drain. Even though I tried of them doing sequels instead of original ideas, I'm really praying that Inside Out 2 is the only good thing out of this upcoming line of unessary sequels by the company.
After watching puss in boots 2 and spiderverse 2 ever 3d animated movie looks like shit in comparison.
I like to imagine disney has a gun to the back of pixars head telling them to tell the media that they made these chocies on their own.
Good thing that's not what's actually happening, but whatever makes you feel better.
I really hope Elio is well received because if it isn’t we might not get an original movie from Pixar for a good long while. All the Lightyear slander is making me feel alienated tho just because that’s the only Pixar movie in recent memory that I’ve rewatched multiple times but I do still love the rest of Pixar’s output from this decade so far. Most of the blame rests solely on Disney and I feel so bad for Pete Docter he’s in such an unwinnable position.
I don't know how will be if Lasseter still stay at Disney but I think it will be much worse than what we are now especially those innocent female employees
We really need a new leadership at the company that no longer focus on money anymore and focus more on passion and creativity
You and Schaff released Pixar videos around the same time
It bothers me so much that Docter says that Elemental had a bad opening weekend. Who cares if it started roughly when it eventually made much more money down the line!?! This is really just a testament to bad marketing if it started slowly. And then people who did see it thought it was good and recommended it to others. People didn't do that with Lightyear because it wasn't good
I think it’s super wild that these companies are so obsessed with doing sequels and reboots to everything right now but don’t seem to understand that people will eventually get tired of the same thing after watching it for years stuff like Toy Story 3 and the incredibles 2 blew up because it had been years since we had seen them it was exciting but if it becomes the norm to see a new one getting released every few years your just slowly draining the magic , you’d think a bunch of higher up people at a multimillion dollar company would know that
Every day I get another reason to support indie animation. At least with indies, minorities are allowed to tell their stories and share their experiences without corporate meddling.
'A universally relatable movie' huh?
Well guess what? We can all play this game.
Name any Pixar movie and state why you can't 100% relate to it. The stupider it sounds, the better.
It genuinely makes me pissed the way they talk about soul, turning red and Luca, like especially Luca for me because I am gay and watching that movie made me feel so seen. Even if I can't relate to soul in the same way doesn't mean it's a bad story that I won't watch just because I'm not the targeted audience because I'm white, the fact that it's still personal makes me want to watch it anyway!(plus, to hear about experiences that I haven't gone through are still important) But things like lightyear? I could not give a damn. It just sucks how so much media have been bought off and now they all just feel like the same boring and bland work..
Pixar used to have heart and story at the heart of every product. Disney tried to break them when certain members of staff resigned. Now they are forced to make money and not given a decent chance when they finally make something original again.
I just saw Schaffrillas Productions video on this situation
Pray that Elio won't be the next Lightyear.
I loved Luca, Turning Red, Elemental, and Soul. I hope they make more unique stuff!
99.99% this was just corporate talk Bob Iger fed to Docter
Well. This aged like milk. 😂
7:25 I'm glad you mentioned this. It really does feel like minorities are still not taken seriously by big cooperations. And that in turn can affect parts of society and encourages bigotry and awful stereotypes in and out of media.
Part of the problem may also be the animation style. Pixar’s been using the same style for years, which can be not only boring but also uncanny. I don’t really enjoy looking at Pixar human models. Maybe if they played with something new and actually created better stories instead of cheap spinoffs or politically charged material, I’d watch their movies.
i think the real reason to is lightyear is a example of a movie who can sell "toys", and lucca, red and soul despite being good stories, they are not the ones that you would turn into toys. i mean, that´s what i think.
If Pixar goes down the "direct to dvd sequel" route, we riot.
I’m honestly glad elio is being delayed. Because that gives the writers and other employees more time to work on it. That way it doesnt flop hard like disney’s other movies did
Very ironic that I got an inside out 2 ad before this...
This is honestly really sad 😔 It’s annoying how Execs can be so stupidly CLUELESS 😣 Personal stories are LITERALLY THE MOST RELEVANT STORIES!!! And, most of the ancient stories that have survived to us today were personal ones for the cultures they came from.
I think that the “they aren’t relatable” thing is stupid. Like wall e is about a robot falling in love and saving earth.thats not “reLaTablE” but people still love it
True stories don't have to be relatable to be good
Than how was pixar an unstopable juggernaut in the 90s and 2000s when nobody that payed for a ticket was a bug or a toy or a fish or a monster or a robot and so on? 🤔
so what I'm hearing is.... we need to stop caring one way or another about the big business and make another company big now, they all end up as a villain anyway so let's enjoy a new one making it big until they are villains too
It’s official. We’ve entered a dark age.
i guess the only redeeming thing about pixar right now is the confirmation that they will NEVER stoop to live action remakes.
‘Inside Out 2’ Shatters Box Office Expectations With $155 Million, Biggest Debut Since ‘Barbie’- Oops!
Pixar hasn’t felt like Pixar since Coco in my opinion. Also, it’s important to note, the longer a film is in theaters the less of a percentage the studio gets. So the fact that Elemental eventually made more money doesn’t really matter since in its first two weeks the box office was low.
Honestly I think they could make a sequel to Onward, like have it take place two years after the first film, Barley got his act together & has a job in a car repair shop & is taking online college classes training to become a mechanic, and Ian is getting close to graduating high school & worries about his future, but then some great evil from the past/a villain from Quest of Yore returns to take over the world, the brother's home gets attacked & now they go out on a new quest to find some magic macguffin that can stop this villain & save their home, along the way they make some new friends who join them on this adventure, and pull an Avengers where the party uses their individual skills & talents to stop the villain & save the day, after which Ian finally graduates & begins a new phase of his life based on what he learned from their recent adventure,
I'd pay to see something like That in theaters.
Can't wait For inside out 2 !❤️❤️❤️
Me neither 💯
Pixar trying to do "mass appeal" when they and Disney have completely lost any idea on what people want is ironic. This company still hasn't realized that they can't sell based off their name alone anymore. Now they need good ORIGINAL stories to sell their movies. Luca, Turning Red, etc. showed that people DO want these types of stories.
If Disney is so worried about losing the "anti-woke" audience, then they've already lost them. Any movie Disney or Pixar does, they'll find a way to call it woke. Even then, it's such a minority. Yes they're vocal, but a lot more people either don't care and just want a good movie, or don't take those num nuts seriously anyways.
either you die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain this statement has never been more true
its like they've forgotten work smarter not harder
6:50 was turning red about puberty? I thought the movie was about accepting your inner child. can someone explain how it is about puberty other then the puberty joke.
It's literally the whole movie. She begins to have crushes, to want to detach and show who she really is to her mom. She has a changing body that is shown with the red panda analogy and etc.
@@Hall003 and she kept it and her mom got rid of it?
7:04 "LIKE, NIGGA WHAT?" LMFAO THAT KILLED ME
Inside Out 2 makes me mad bc it’s clear they’re basically gonna rehash the first one but with the addition of the new emotions.
The main five from the og are gonna be thrown out and have to explore Riley’s mind to learn about the changing life of a tween and her new experiences. We’ll see how Riley’s brain is changing until they and the new emotions inevitably learn that they’re all part of the whole that is Riley and that she needs them all to be well rounded.
Thank you for reminding me Elio exists because i haven't seen any advertising for it like. At all and i almost forgot about it
Without Lassiter, Pixar no longer has a future. Disney got rid of one their best creatives and several Pixar crew went with him to Skydance. It is quite likely that Skydance can end up like another Pixar but without Disney interference in the way. As for Pixar itself, if it does not get another big hit, it might as well just get merged into Disney Animation and thus ending Pixar.
I hate to tell you the truth, and not just the truth, but the HARD truth, but Skydance Animation isn’t doing so well either even with John Lasseter at the helm. Their film Luck didn’t do well critically and part of it is because of John Lasseter. The dude is no longer the influential animation creative and innovator he once was and I highly doubt bringing him back would solve Pixar’s current dilemma. Also, aren’t you forgetting that John sexually assaulted his female employees by hugging and kissing them without their consent and treating them pretty badly? Disney, for all of its dumb decisions, made the right choice in getting rid of him.
I feel like i'm the only one who liked Lightyear, It was unnecessary and unexpected considering the animated series which you can find on Disney+ is still around... but it was semi entertaining 😶
I do understand Pixar’s dilemma.
They are a company built on nostalgia. People constantly compare their newer films to the films of old, expecting perfection and overdramatizing them if they’re not exactly how they want them to be.
There’s more pressure on everyone to live up to their “glory days” even though their newer works ARE very good, definite classics for the future. Luca is one of my favorite Pixar films to date.
But this? This is soul-crushing. The guy who strove for creativity and passion is now basically saying don’t do that. While some sequels sound good (Moana 2, Inside 2 was great), ONLY doing sequels and spin-offs is not what the general public is looking.
Mr. Pete Doctor, get on the Internet. Watch videos like this, hear what the GENERAL public has to say instead of what your focus groups say. Sure there will be people who will be trolls, but there are people who just want good, ORIGINAL movies.
Wow its like Hollywood is now allergic to good ideas
Hearing the CEO of Paramount echo the same sentiments nearly a whole ass year ago made me worry that other companies were gonna do the same thing, and now it seems it's come to pass with Pixar. I thought we had learned our lesson already that reboots and sequals were NOT the way to go, yet it seems the lesson hasn't stuck yet.
7:04 you know it is bad when his he says this
Try not to make a random NPC character gay challenge:
Pixar: *impossible*
I meant disney and pixar literally forces representation in movies and gives it to random npc characters and then they don’t allow disney channel shows like owl house or gravity falls have too much
There are many random NPC characters but when they’re gay that’s a problem?
@@DORAisD34DI’m gonna HOPE they mean they never gave that representation to a main character
I’d be okay with Toy Story 5 if Woody or someone else tells Buzz that his movie sucked when he brings it up proudly saying he had one or something
As soon as I heard last year was the first year that Universal surpassed Disney, I knew that Disney was gonna have to get their act together or burn down the castle to save money.
1:25
wait, Elio's not coming out this year?!
dang it.
i feel like i saw the teaser or trailer for this ages ago. forgot when it was coming out.
that's really too bad they moved it to 2025😔

😅i don't know how i feel about another Incredibles.
the second one was ok I think. I think i loved one of these fan comics that came out a little after the film. I think it involved Mrs.Incredible psedo adopting the teal haired superhero. thought it was kind of sweet.
an official movie...I feel like I would've wanted a part 2 and 3 back around the time they made the original one. Not sure about now. However i do kind of recall around the time they made the first movie they did make kind of a sequel game I saw some text about in a promotional GameCube booklet. I think it was called Rise of The Underminer. I have no idea if it was any good. I just avoided movie based games back then due to the bad reputation they had. so i've no idea if it was a gem or not. haven't thought to look to see if any reviewers from this section of time have picked it up since the advent of RUclips Reviewing and given it an assessment or some-kind.
Good video. While I did enjoy Lightyear and understand it wasn't for everyone, I do agree the direction we are seeing is not looking good. They need a change up.
But It doesnt make any sense. Even Inside Out was based on a real life experience (more specifically, the director's daughter) and it won an oscar.
