For the past decade, Disney has been the Teflon movie studio, remarkably adept at withstanding the tectonic changes impacting the film industry, and well fortified by its arsenal of key properties such as Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar.
But this year, the long-reigning titan of the box office has shown cracks as four of its biggest releases from those brands and others have struggled in theaters…
Disney Pixar’s animations are no longer the ones to watch like their time before Toy Story 3. Look at the Pinocchio showdown they had with Netflix. Absolute polar opposite. And now Nimona is Netflix’s latest great hit after they picked it up from Disney’s scrap pile because it’s too gay for Disney.
Pinnoccio was Disney proper though, not Pixar. But I get what you’re saying. Del Toro’s version was far better.
I thought Turning Red was amazing. But that has been an outlier for Pixar lately.
