How do we stop Pixar?

It's 2022 and Pixar is a shadow of its former self. What will it take for them to close?

      This. I'm actually getting kinda bored with the hyper realistic animation paired with goofy as frick designs. There's no reason why a boring Buzz Lightyear movie cost more to make than Top Gun. It doesn't help they peaked with the writing in their movies years ago. They're all so predictable.

      This. The fricking movies where never good but just to flex "these new fancy 3d graphics" reminds me of the fricking video game bit wars where companies where caring in the graphics rather on the game play which is why I think 3d films from pixar and Disney suck because they always advertise "look at these new graphics and how realistic it is and the enviroment-" if the story isn't good then the graphics doesn't mean jack shit!

      It actually just implies that Cars was made in Pixar's golden age, since Ratatouille (arguably their best film) and Wall-E (arguably their 3rd-best film) came directly after it.

      >50-52
      Pretty high quality, though WtP isn’t really the same kind of thing as everything else. Certainly better than Pixar at the time
      >53-55
      Frozen and Zootopia got huge, but I think in retrospect the amount of attention and praise both received was overblown. BH6 is pretty shit aside from GoGo’s ass
      >56
      Moana’s great. Best thing they’ve done on that list. Shining highpoint. If you’re going to watch anything do this.
      >57
      RBtI is terrible. Shits on anything that made the original good and is mostly an insulting sponsored ad. The worst thing here
      >58-60
      Mediocre films, and that’s a stretch for Raya. Encanto is the best of them, but taking like, 5 minutes to think about the story ruins it. But the animation is at least very pretty. By this point Pixar has been beating them for several years in terms of quality , though Lightyear is probably the end of that unless Disney’s next thing is another failure.

      Overall - immediately after Disney was much better, but aside from Moana I think they’ve failed to keep that up. Pixar has less high highs, but they keep an average standard above that of Disney. However, even the films that I’m saying aren’t great have all been massively financially successful (and critically, but no shit Disney owns the critics) - frozen, zootopia, enchanto have had way more cultural impact despite being average films at best

          Most of these threads are "it was a flop because I didn't like it" tbf. Disney in general is one of the more egregious topics on this board as most of the people on Cinemaphile don't realise that execs are looking for films that appeal to their core demographic of shiny-loving kids without stirring up shit with their parents/investors, not a bunch of 25+ year old unemployed men.

    Monsters Inc., Incredibles, Coco, and arguably Ratatouille and Wall E are the only good Pixar movies. All others are Disney lite bullshit. Arguing otherwise is either being blinded by nostalgia or just having general shit taste tbh.

    I resent this implication that quality declined linearly with release. And this grouping. Toy Story 3 was amazing, and no way is Inside Out on the same level as Cars 2 or fricking Good Dinosaur.

    Several heavily-promoted commercial flops in a row. Not sure how many. I can't be bothered to look at the public details of their finances to have a guess.
    It'd be easier to make the go under if there was someone else doing this sort of film better, but the rest of Hollywood's creatively bankrupt too.

      The first Cars mostly stemmed from Lasseter's love for cars and Route 66 nostalgia so I'll give it a pass, but considering the merchandise bonanza that came after that movie the other two are obviously just made to print money for the other Pixar films.

    It's not fair to call everything under the last part a decomposing corpse. The more nu-Pixar films are actually better than them trying to keep Toy Story on life support. Turning Red is polarizing but I loved it, Soul was a hit with certain cultures (like the Chinese, oddly enough), Luca I haven't seen but also haven't heard anything bad about. Just looks like Pixar's take on Ghibli.

    I'll take some of those over Cars 2, Brave, and The Good Dinosaur any day.
