Darth Lehnsherr Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Comparing the 6 Pixar films post-Toy Story 4 compared to the 6 Pixar films post-Toy Story 3  1. Inside Out 2. Soul 3. Turning Red 4. Elemental 5. Finding Dory 6. Monsters University 7. Onward 8. Luca 9. Lightyear 10. Brave 11. The Good Dinosaur 12. Cars 2  Definitely think this era is stronger than the movies after Toy Story 3 though Elio matching Coco is a tall order.  EDIT: Actually it would be Cars 3 next which I actually liked but a way easier bar to clear than Coco Edited July 15, 2023 by Darth Lehnsherr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Would have to maintain holds as good as last week for the rest of its run to get there. Have to see how it holds up against Barbieheimer and Turtles. It is losing over 30% of its showings this weekend so it'll be tough to keep this kind of run going   Edited July 20, 2023 by AniNate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I saw this movie and what a pleasant surprise! I thought the critics were harsh on it deserved more like an 80%. The movie looked absolutely gorgeous, and the characters were engaging. The story was a bit cliche, but I thought it was done well. My only gripe with the movie is that the message at times was a bit too on the nose if they subdued it a bit I think it would've had a higher critic score. But yeah, I think the movie will age well and be considered underrated as time comes like A Bug's Life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he really shouldn't be blamed too much for The Good Dinosaur that movie had so much production trouble. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morieris Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I didn't dislike it, but I see why it didn't take off. Â The only reason it's still chugging along is because there really weren't anymore options for young kids until TMNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I mean I don't think that's enough to explain why it's now the highest grossing Pixar movie in Korea. Clearly it is legit resonating with a certain audience, and probably striking a chord with diasporas in North America as well.

I'm not part of any diaspora and genuinely enjoyed those portions more than anything else in the film and wish there were more. I do think the advertising kneecapped a lot of it stateside and turned it into a last resort for families.

AniNate Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I had issues with the movie myself, I just think it's short sighted to dismiss its legs as a simple lack of options. There are plenty of other things families can do besides go to the movies, and even if you only care to analyze the domestic performance you can't just ignore how it is finding such a ridiculous audience in its director's ancestral origin country  There is certainly a sizable Korean population in the US as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightyear and Strange World are proof enough that people can ignore a movie even if the market is empty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
