The studio has a very serious case of "Chef needs to buy more expensive cars"-itis Infectious little disease

Comments state “Pixar seems like it’s as afraid of failure and creativity as its parent company” and use the phrase “Milking cash cows until audiences are lactose intolerant.” Mentions that “Disney made Pixar cancel Be Fri,” and recalls Toy Story being targeted at kids before reviews highlighted its “incredibly strange visuals (3D?!)” and emotional resonance.

Ils sont vraiment tombés bien bas chez Pixar.

Lucas taught them the $$$ is in the merch. Parents buy kids merch... But the real money is in adults(with more disposable income) buying merch *for themselves*. And when I say adults... You know that's mainly men. If single women *measurably* filled their homes with KDH merch, Pixar would be there

Am I reading that right lmao? Are we deadass Disney has spiraled down as a company since a good while, yet they still manage to surprise me by how out of touch they are.

www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/... So according to this the leaked footage from Be Fri was apparently not good.

DAMN that is insane! This will really hurt Pixar’s image

Exactly! These are the sorts of brilliant leadership decisions we get when nepo baby econ bro investment bankers are put in charge of creative companies. People with no knowledge of art or media shouldn't be the all-powerful gatekeepers for art and media.

People forget when Toy Story came out, (at least in the US South) it was clearly targeted at small kids and weirdos who cared about kids toys. It wasn't until the reviews hit that the incredibly strange visuals (3D?!) and universally resonant emotional notes got it in front of that larger audience.

Too many executives and no cooks in the kitchen over there at Disney. Absolutely destroying every last thread of creativity with spreadsheets and focus testing. Avoiding making actual art at all costs because it might not tick every last box on their charts. Grinding it all down into colorless paste

like there is a lot of careful social engineering that disney does but the general consensus seems to be that the weird thing is the fandom part and not the capitalism part

According to the article this is referencing, it was Disney that made Pixar cancel Be Fri. That makes it even dumber because Disney has multiple “girl power” movies that were huge hits!
I bet Disney execs were in a group chat with Bari Weiss.

I'm not even joking. It was all the exact same kind of people getting cooked in the exact same way.

I think it was Wired (or another publication) recently outlined what a boys club, misogyny factory Pixar is. This is completely unsurprising. I have never seen K-Pop DH and I can hum the songs. What a stupid bunch of dummies.

that new ceo said when he got in his focus is the park not streaming so everyone should tak eemup and dump disney+ and really show him his way out a door

Odds are Pixar let the anti-woke brigades bully them again.

While I understand the storyboard reception was mean spirited. A very out of touch move for Disney. Cancelling a female lead project over micro-dicks

Disney Promotes April Carretta to EVP of Communications, Exec to Lead PR for Dana Walden Disney elevated April Carretta to EVP of communications, reporting to chief communications officer Paul Roeder. As part of her expanded duties, Caretta will be the day-to-day communication… #disney #media #news

I know damn well the same studio that created Disney princesses did NOT just have someone say that.

Add to that Pixar/Disney stripping out any LGBTQ+ content. I knew I was gay at 10 years old. Do you have ANY idea how amazing it would have been to see myself in a Disney movie at that age? I know it's different now, but come on. (going to go watch "Strange World" again just to spite them all)

I had the same thought as well, I’m not saying that Disney and Pixar are bad animation studios (animators and artists deserve more love), I’m talking about the executives who made that dumb statement about the cancellation of Be Fri.

Disney money and “not financially stable” do seem incompatible.
