If this overpreforms, the detractors are likely gonna eat hammer 😛

But if Katzenberg chose Fox over Universal to sell. . .

If Dreamworks was still a part of Fox and Katzenberg would have chosen Fox over Universal. . . .Disney would own Shrek. DISNEY WOULD OWN SHREK If Shrek 5 doesn't have Shrek dealing with a prima donna Snow Queen villain, I'm gonna riot.

I can't hate The Good Dinosaur. The whole sequence with Sam Elliot as a Cowboy T-Rex stopping redneck velociraptor cattle rustlers is so out there and bizarre that it makes the movie.

They'd have probably released Turning Red around Thanksgiving, rather than Christmas and move Strange World to next March.

Lol, if I was a kid and my mother told me we could either go . . . .any of those things you mentioned, I'd have chosen a theater to see a movie. Hell, that's why I so many movies in theaters as a kid, I'd forgo vacations just to see movies.

Also to JW winning the week again

A Silent Voice was not not powerful enough to compete with a CGI cartoon baby farting baby powder. But seriously, Silent Voice is great.

Incredibles 2 is nuts. It has the villain trying to outright murder Elastigirl with an axe.

I might just be getting too old, lol. Pixar was, and in some way is a master at drawing in both adults and young audiences. Their films have something for everyone. However, Soul feels like it skews towards a much more adult/older audience while Luca skewed too young. I like Turning Red, I like it alot, I felt it got it right. But no doubt they're big hits in the streaming market. And I don't think it's D+ that's the issue for Lightyear. Literally every goddamn advertisement and trailer screamed "ONLY IN THEATERS" sometimes twice. People just weren't that interested. It will still make a killing on D+.

The difference here being it was also available for PURCHASE. Yeah, I balk at paying 20.00 for a rental, but I'd pay 29 dollars for unlimited viewing.

The Bad Guys was released for purchase and rental on digital services just over 17 days after release. It ain't that effective, one could argue had Universal not done that, Bad Guys would have made more. Bad Guys just got lucky that it was the only animated movie in the market.

I don't think it's entirely that. Lightyear has been marketed and pushed heavily. You literally could not escape ads on Youtube, TV, etc. It's likely gonna boil down to Disney already doing this back in the 2000s with Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and many of the now grown 90s kids and Toy Story fans wondering why the hell they're doing something so completly different.

And yet, I literally think it's better than any original movie Pixar released since Inside Out, not counting sequels. It was the most Disney animated Pixar movie of all time.

What would really help would be for Elemental to have a dynamite concept and a great teaser/trailer. But a movie about a sentient water drop and a walking ball of fire aren't that. . . .they might as well be scrapped characters and concepts from Inside Out. Turning Red and Soul were the first Pixar movies in a long time to actually have good hooks. I thought Soul blew it, but I think Turning Red might have been a hit.

To be fair though, Encanto was barely marketed for theaters and unless someone was savvy enough or visited entertianment sites a lot, many didn't know it was heading to Disney+ on Christmas Day until they announced it about a week or two from Christmas. Pixar's having problems after Coco, and it's not just because of Disney+. It's something behind the scenes. They just lack magic. Turning Red was fine, but Soul is actually kinda boring (and I was really looking forward to that because its concept is irresitable) and Luca, big hit on D+ it may be, was so low stakes that it was hard for me to get invested in anything going on. They're making solid films, but they're not making the big hitters they used to. Outside of their sequels, the last original-concept Pixar movie I out and out loved and adored was Brave

Then the studios need to adapt. At this point, theatrical has become a marketing tool for streaming and home disc. That's literally what Ecanto's release turned out to be. The movie wasn't make a huge splash at all, then Disney+ came and it's up there in popularity with Frozen. Lightyear will probably be a colossal hit on Disney+ when it debuts in 30-45 days or Disney+ Day.

It breaks the lore, the franchise is ruined!

And according to Colin's twitter, it's 14 minutes longer - including the prologue.

The fact Disney didn't take advantage of the synergy of also releasing the Buzz Lightyear cartoon on Disney+ this weekend is sad. Don't tell me they can't do it. They have it in the vault and Lasseter is gone. Lightyear feels like Disney's first big Oops since John Carter.

Goddamn. If they shelve The Flash, which is a possibility, they could always go back to Batgirl and rework it so that it's a spin-off of the Burton/Keaton Batman films. It's gonna be big, that would make it bigger. Also let James Wan do his own thing with Aquaman like what if feels like they did with Patty Jenkins and Wonder Woman 84 (a film that feels like it is completely separated from the DCEU save the first Wonder Woman film and more in line with the Lynda Carter series)

This is apparently getting an extended cut on Blu-ray and digital.

Yeah, but a lot looks like leftover ideas from that Discovery Channel The Future is Wild special. I do sincerely hope I'm wrong. But this looks like a major downgrade from Encanto.

It really doesn't help Disney's animated front that Strange World looks really, really lame and is basically kinda Lightyear 2.0 - space explorers stranded on a strange world likely looking for a way out. For a movie with that title, you'd expect the aliens to be wild, inventive and strange . . .and they just look like plush child bath toys, which might be the point. They need their Froz3n or Big Hero 7.

I've been thinking Pixar's been in a rut since Monsters University and Cars 2. Brave and Up were the last two really good original story films they made to me
