“Disney had more or less trained audiences to expect big, hot Pixar content at home,” explained Brandon Katz, an entertainment industry strategist at Parrot Analytics.

I agree with the point but not necessarily the reason why.

Pixar movies used to be “can’t miss”. They were a cut above everything else, and incredibly unique. Now they’re just.. Disney Pixar. They’ve watered down so much of what made them great before.

And of course Disney is cutting staff due to lack of box office success without taking an inward look that their imprinting on the company might have something to do with its downfall.

I really do think Elemental was quite good, The advertising was really god awful. It was a movie about cultural and societal boundaries and prejudice, not about a opposites attract romance.
