Creative companies are neutered because of woke ideologies and corporate policies. They can't make anything that may offend anyone instead of just saying 'SAC UP and enjoy the show!'

I've heard this argument applied to comedy, which I can sort of understand, but even the classic Pixar movies were inoffensive and already quite progressive.

The blame surely lies with whoever is running the studio, they have hundreds of creatives working under them, probably have a pile of scripts to choose from, yet they pick ones like Lightyear and Elio, when random internet folk who don't have all the market research can predict them flopping from a mile away.

I've a colleague working at Pixar (last I checked, it's been a couple of years) he was fairly disgusted with the politics over there, and at this point in it just for a paycheck. Sad. Pixar used to be such a shining beacon in the world of film/animation/computer graphics/on & on & on.

Last Pixar film I remember seeing was probably Incredibles 2? Major dropoff from the 1st one (vying for position of my favorite Pixar film, dunno if I will ever resolve that - perhaps Wall-E just on a technical level, if nothing else). Anyway whatever, things change, tasted come and go, and Pixar certainly had their time in the sun. Maybe they need to get burned to the ground to rise from the ashes. Anyway I am not going to speak to anything regarding this film since I know nothing about it, but at this point, why would I bother? Surely I am not the target demographic. It sounds like a few in this thread enjoyed it, so that's something..

I really wish they would have stuck with the original story from the first teaser trailer that came out.

There's a lot of good CG movies outside of Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks, Isle of Dogs by Wes Anderson is a good one (also check out Fantastic Mr Fox).

I can predict that Hoppers will be a 6 score movie.

The story follows Nero, a black cat living in Venice, who finds himself tangled up with a mysterious feline mafia. His life changes when he meets Maya, a young street musician. Together, they go on a journey of friendship, courage, and redemption

Pixar will explore a new artistic animation style, more painterly and emotional, very different from its usual CGI.

The visuals are expected to resemble a storybook in motion — expressive and poetic.

This is more interesting

Beanmouth roundly rejected by movie-going audiences.

This is a good thing.
