Yeah Pixar was absolute magic until around then. Hey, it had to end sometime.
This phenomenon is due to many different issues, but in my opinion they can all be boiled down to: making a great movie is not the priority anymore. Sometimes it’s selling the product, sometimes it’s playing to special political interests (lookin at you, Eternals), etc. for better or worse; but when a film is made for the purpose first and foremost to make a great film, it usually succeeds. Maybe not the flamboyant numbers that some do, but then again for every one that a studio makes a killing on, they also take a bath on a handful of others.
They’re looking at the industry and just seeing a sponge with dollar signs and just want to squeeze as hard as they can.
Do yourself a favor watch more independent films. They’re not always amazing but they are made with heart.
