Looks like both this and Indy will see a rise in critic score after some of the more receptive critics see it

I guess the difference between this downturn for Disney's animated movies is there is no knight in shining armor coming to save them.

No one is going to come and pick up the pieces like Lasseter did back when Disney bought Pixar.

That said, it was almost a miracle, how exponentially Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin and The Lion King grew from each other. Something that will probably never happen again.

Their only romance since Wall-E

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Anecdotally I've seen alot of advertisements for this movie around the city much more than I would have thought.

 

Just hard to see this one stand-up against the competition unfortunately.

It should be safe from going below Cars 2 low mark, but seems nearly locked to be below every other Pixar movie on RT. Kind of disastrous considering the current state of the brand.

That’s not locked at all. It’s currently at 71% and climbing with the new reviews. It should at least get to the high 70s on RT, which still wouldn’t be great, but would be better than a few other Pixar movies besides Cars 2.

This does seem like it's more the "silly" kind of mid that Cars and Brave were than the "dull" kind that Lightyear and Good Dino's consensus was, so maybe it can muster some legs if it's seen as a fun undemanding trifle. I'm still not sure that's enough to get it the kind of numbers it needs though.

 

I'm thinking it's more likely I'll enjoy it now, seems like there is good consensus on the actual romance bringing the feels and Newman's score.

You think a Pixar movie of all things starting this low will stay above 70%? Seems very unlikely.

It started off low with the batch of reviews from Cannes, but recent reactions have been much more positive and the movie has been steadily climbing on RT. 

 

Again, I’m not saying it can’t end up below a 70 or anything, just that it’s not a sure thing at all.

I think staying above 70% is possible, albeit far less than what this movie needs for profit

And here I thought they paid for the movie in dollars but now I find out critical acclaim pays the bills.
