Putting Turning Red, Luca, and to a lesser extent, Soul, was such a misfire

Iger is the one who signed off on putting all these financial bombs in to production. Everything you blame on Chapek is actually Iger's fault. Chapek was the scapegoat insterted in to take the fall for all of Iger's frickups.
You do realize putting these movies on Disney Plus is what caused all three of those to lose money right? None of those movies would have lost nearly as much money if they were in theaters.
>Iger was the guy pushing for Disney+ >pandemic hits >movies get put on Disney+
Not my fault fricking Onward killed the brand. Luca wouldn't have made as much money because it was still pandemic times but Turning Red got benched out of a theatrical release. I'm still not sure if that one would have done well, I can see the "controversy" around the movie getting worse tho.

It probably saved money because they would have flopped anyway, but this way they paid less for marketing. Disney knew they couldn't put Turning Red in to theaters because of how blatantly it sexualizes young children.
The only one I can defend doing that for is Soul. Pandemic shit was still raging and they were just burned with Onward. Releasing it then would be a massive gamble that could have cost them millions.
'Creative misses' is just a euphemism for 'luckwarm reception from both audiences and critics'. For Iger creativity only has value to the extent that contributes to a product or a brand. He has no opinion on the artistic success or failure of anything on its own merits.
>Onwards
Maybe, although for being the first actual theatrical movie that ended up going to D+ instead, they probably knew it was a double edged sword. >Luca
Definitely not lmao. >Soul
Depends on what you consider "a miss" >Turning Red
Maybe? >Elemental
Probably, although bear in mind the movie is actually getting the best international profits since fricking Frozen 2, so who really knows. >Lightyear
Definitely, and deservingly so.
Elemental is proof that Lightyear and Strange World (I know, not Pixar but casual audiences mix the two) poisoned the well but then people realized it was actually good and went to support it.
you cant recreate that logo with current pixar movie characters

Elemental is also crap, despite the power of CLOD

ftfy
No shit
He really doesn’t like Lightyear
WHY AREN'T BUG'S LIFE, NEMO AND RATATOUILLE ALLOWED TO HAVE 2 REPS IN THAT PIC?!!!
Bugs Life does. Flik and Dot.
>creative misses
Obviously Lightyear but I wonder what other recent Pixar film he considers a miss.

Onward, Luca, Soul, Turning Red, Elemental, Lightyear
