INSIDE OUT 2 IS THE FIRST PIXAR MOVIE WITH A MOSTLY FEMALE STORY TEAM
that's part of the same article.
Some people are confused because they thought Turning Red had an all female story team, but what it actually had was all female leadership.
well yeah that's the point. Domee Shi even said on the original Inside Out, where she was a story artist, she was happy that "being a teenage girl" was one thing she was an expert in.

This seems to be the actual source of this information. Dunno what it says that they needed teenage girl consultants when they didn't need them for Turning Red.

This is an interesting article, though it could be said that what the writer calls the death of Hollywood is the death of a lucrative writing career.
Yeah that's the trend. Monsters University, Finding Dory, Incredibles 2... all have positive reviews but not as high as the original. Don't know why people think Inside Out 2 would be different.
Do Dollar theaters even still exist? There was once a $2.50 ticket movie theater near me but it closed. I think the whole rush to streaming killed a lot of them.
I'd guess not. In any case, $25 OW would be absolutely amazing for Civil War. It could even be profitable from ticket sales alone, which I don't think anyone thought would happen.
Not my point at all. Do you think Pocahontas was intentionally bad? I mean there was the story that The Lion King was seen as the lesser project at Disney at the time. My point is not every movie can be great
I'm thinking more that the "make good movies" strategy is like the "just win every election" strategy for political parties. Untenable to have them all be winners.
The problem is "just make great movies" isn't the soundest strategy. Like do you think they chose to have declining returns on hand drawn movies after The Lion King?
I do think Pixar might make good movies in the future though. Not sure about WDAS but Zootopia 2 is something I might want to see. I'm not too optimistic about Marvel though. And Star Wars is dead.
