The accountants/MBAs who run Disney will have the takeaway that original movies aren’t worth it and focus on live action remakes and sequels.
These same audiences complain about lack of originality and don’t show up when it happens

I used to love pixar, I have kids now so I would think I would find enjoyment in their movies still but for the past good while now I just cannot give a damn. Their movies do not look interesting at all to me.
Really lost most my interest around the chris pratt magical dudes in a van one.

This one makes me happy. I have loved the 28 series for a long time and the movie studios gave up on it. You couldn’t stream it or even buy it on DVD for years there and now it’s making waves again.

I think Disney and Marvel need to understand the general perception of their brands has dropped dramatically in the last couple years and if they want to come back strong, they need to market the hell out of their new films convincing viewers why they should trust them again.
Just as an example with Pixar/Disney — a LOT of their recent films give a very similar vibe — Inside Out, Elemental, Soul — they’re all pretty indistinguishable in my mind as movies about little blobby guys and high concepts about intangible qualities characterized. IDK. I know they’re not the same, but they certainly all feel quite similar. There’s also been the recurring theme of „the thing you were looking for/enemy you wanted to fight was inside you all along!“ and you can only do that so many times before you need to switch it up. These are my perceptions as someone who up until a few years ago kept up with most Disney releases. I don’t know if Elio is the same as what I’m describing because frankly, I saw like one brief trailer for it on TV and that was it for the marketing I came across.

Disney has trained parents to wait for Disney+

Pretty abysmal numbers for all three, well below even the mid expectations.

28 years later was awful. Even as a standalone movie it was full of plot holes and just poor writing.

I’ve actually heard Elio is delightful, but holy crap was the marketing bad. I saw one or two commercials, neither seemed to say anything about the plot, the name itself could be any type of movie and doesn’t scream delightful kid’s movie. The commercials I watched also did not mention a release date?!?!? I was like, do they actively not want people to see this movie? I feel like I could have created a better ad with my shitty computer software.
I mean, I don’t know if a better marketing campaign would have saved it, but they needed it to at least give it a shot?

wtf happened to Pixar? For a good run there they could do no wrong. Just hit after hit. Then boom… couldn’t be less excited to see a Pixar film. Was there a specific movie that started the downward spiral? For me, I think The Good Dinosaur was the “ummmm what was that?” movie.

How to Train Your Dragon almost looks exactly like the original. I don’t understand the appeal.
Hollywood should be fired.
Although I’ll wait and see how Kool-Aid turns out

Elio was actually a good movie. The animation was crisp.

You can always tell when Disney doesn’t give a hoot about a movie.
They have to have a B Team in the marketing department.

Elio looks cheap and less than creative compared to Pixar’s past work, plus the animation looks cheap

That’s a sad headline
