I agree with the point but not necessarily the reason why.
Pixar movies used to be “can’t miss”. They were a cut above everything else, and incredibly unique. Now they’re just.. Disney Pixar. They’ve watered down so much of what made them great before.
And of course Disney is cutting staff due to lack of box office success without taking an inward look that their imprinting on the company might have something to do with its downfall.
I really do think Elemental was quite good, The advertising was really god awful. It was a movie about cultural and societal boundaries and prejudice, not about a opposites attract romance.
Yeah, read online before watching it and how it bombed on its initial weekends. Honestly? I don’t get the hate. It was an enjoyable movie with interesting topic at heart. But those topics were not in the marketing, only the romance bit. Shame, but glad word of mouth kinda saved the box office run.
