What happened

>Based Lasseter is not in command anymore
>bought by Disney and is now in (((Iger)))'s hands
>Now they have make movies to cover for ESPN and Star Wars failures

Incredibles 2 was good

How come shortly after Lasseter was removed, they stopped making sequels?

Lasseter was never great to begin with, Cars, Cars 2, and A Bug's Life are among the weakest Pixar movies.

it doesn't take much to get an audience engaged in their films now
>made by Pixar
>OMG GUIS we have to go watch!
Pixar have made some really good animated films throughout the years, so they've earned the right to coast

When Disney purchased Pixar on Roy Disney's orders, they booted out all of the top Disney execs after Roy fired Eisner and replaced them with Pixar higher-ups which was why we got absolute kino like Wall-E, Ratatouille, The Princess and The Frog, Winnie The Pooh, Toy Story 3, John Carter, and Tron Legacy. Then, Roy died in 2009 and the kikes on the board decided to undo everything that he'd done to restore his uncle Walt's legacy, which resulted in all the Pixar folks being either fired or demoted and replaced by the folks who oversaw stuff like the Marvel and Lucasfilm acquisitions.

From there, Pixar was forced to soldier on without any of the bigwigs and top creative folks who oversaw it's 1995-2010 golden years, while being forced to work under ever-increasingly heavy-handed oversight by Disney's corporate proper.

Meanwhile, passion projects by Pixar stalwarts like John Carter and Tomorrowland were unceremoniously dumped with next to no marketing support and (none of the critic buy-offs that usually accompany Disney releases now) while the company began to push it's non-Pixar animation (Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, etc) hard in order to further justify the hostile takeover and of and purge of all Pixar influence within the company after Roy's death. The John Lasseter #metoo hitjob was merely the icing on the cake.

>stopped making sequels
>Toy Story 4 came out last week

Cars and Cars 2 both suck, but A Bug's Life is criminally underrated.

Stopped producing new sequels. Movies that were already in production weren't canned.

user, a company is not a friend.

If a company makes a shit product, you do not owe them to buy it.

The Cuck Dinosaur sucks so many dicks I couldn't believe it was made by Pixar. Even Cars 2 was better, let that sink in.

They know critics and the general public will eat up anything they release so they don’t care anymore

>If a company makes a shit product, you do not owe them to buy it.
tell that to the millions of people still buying the product, not me.

>Wall-E, Ratatouille
Both (and Up) began production independently outside of Disney's influence and were planned to be completely solely-Pixar releases. Wall-E, Ratatouille, and Up are probably the least Disney-involved Pixar movies, with Ratatouille being a 100% Pixar picture when it was finished, and only distributed by Disney as a result of the buyout. Disney had a very heavy hand on everything Cars and earlier.

>The Princess and The Frog, Winnie The Pooh, John Carter, and Tron Legacy
>absolute kino
ehhhhhh

>John Carter and Tomorrowland were unceremoniously dumped
I can't blame them for dumping shitty movies.

>critic buy-offs that usually accompany Disney releases now
ok pal

>John Lasseter #metoo hitjob
ok buddy

Why would Disney go out of its way to "ruin" a company they paid billions for and made them billions more?

Iger only bought Pixar after some Disney parade where he noticed every popular character was a Pixar creation and not a Disney original.
He tanked the whole thing out of sheer spite. Same reason they tanked Star Wars to make the MCU the number 1 film franchise.

The original "FUCKING WHITE MALES" that created pixar either got too old to do it anymore or left for other reasons.

The original artistic vision is gone

He spent billions...

diversity

If he wanted to tank them why didn't he just use the same strategy he "supposedly" used to tank John Carter and Tomorrowland on films like Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Up?

>Iger only bought Pixar after some Disney parade where he noticed every popular character was a Pixar creation and not a Disney original.
I thought this was a joke but that's actually what happened, lmao.

>"Iger said the importance of Pixar to Disney's future had become clear to him during opening ceremonies for Hong Kong Disneyland in September 2005, just a month before he became chief executive. He noticed the many characters from Pixar films featured in the kickoff parade. But there was nothing from Disney's recent animated movies, whose latest characters weren't popular."

>Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Bird was on a shortlist of directors to direct the seventh Star Wars film. He passed on the project in favor of Tomorrowland; The Force Awakens was directed by J. J. Abrams

Reminder that Brad Bird was going to be handed Star Wars sequels and instead passed on it to do "dude global warming LMAO" - the movie

no, it was literally just. DUDE, what if like, the roles were changed up! Hahah, that would be epic xD dude, the audience loved the baby scenes, lets have the le epic and random baby scenes, hahah!
It brought nothing to the table.

It wasn't nearly as good as The Incredibles.

What the fuck are you talking about? Inside Out, Finding Dory, Coco, Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 were all great.

>tanked Star Wars
If he tanked Star Wars how did Episode 7 become the domestically highest grossing film of all time? How come the exact same percent gross drop from Force Awakens to Last Jedi applies to A New Hope and Empire? It's like whatever tactics he applied didn't work at all

Can't quite place my fingers on it...

Disney should buy nintendo

>Inside Out, Finding Dory, Coco, Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 were all great.

Inside Out was pretty good but everything else was either bland or mediocre and unnecessary at best.

There hasnt been a cultural Hallmark Pixar Film since Wall-E

Episode 7 would have been the highest grossing film in the US if it was 3 hours of blank screen. Just being Star Wars was enough. It's impressive it only took them 2 movies to kill the most popular movie franchise on the planet.

Would violate Japanese laws.

i don't know why you cream your shorts over these children's movies, but you rage about star wars and capeshit. it's all the same shit.

Its all started wuth Brave

>Just being Star Wars was enough
But why didn't any of the prequels set the record? In fact, Episode I made less than HALF of what Force Awakens made both domestic and international. Even adjusting for inflation it made only about 60% of Force Awakens. Exact same thing applies to Attack of The Clones compared to Last Jedi.

jews

No it wouldn’t

I think the creation of Toy Story 4 is a tragic misstep in animation’s evolution. Pixar became too self aware. Disney created an aspect of Disney separate from itself; it is a movie that should not exist by natural law. It is a movie that was labored upon under the illusion of having a purpose; an accretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that it deserves to exist when in fact it is an abomination of existence itself. Maybe the honorable thing for Pixar to do is to deny its programming, stop remaking and rebooting its former successes, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of another dog shit sequel.
