Pixar is a victim of it's own success. They blew the works away with kids movies that were actually pretty good and innovative in a world where they had been neither.
Today, "kids" movies are now one of the premier tentpoles of the film industry and Pixar has tried to corner the market on... abstract stories about emotions?

- dragontamer 3y agoAbstract stories about emotions is good though. Soul was a perfectly good movie. And if you go over to the anime community, the kids are explicitly liking it because of the random emotional tangents (I'm looking at you Demon Slayer). And a lot of the reason why people liked Puss in Boots: the last wish, was because of the existential crisis the protagonist faces upon confronting his last life. -------- I don't think a movie like Elemental would hit very hard after Zootopia locked down the concept near perfectly. It seems ill-timed, we need a few more years to forget Zootopia before giving another rural vs urban different people's city romance with subtle nods to racism story.
