He doesn’t get it.

Pixar’s chief creative officer admitted this week that the producers of the 2022 flop Lightyear ‘asked too much of the audience.’

 

‘We’ve done a lot of soul-searching about that because we all love the movie. We love the characters and the premise. I think probably what we’ve ended on in terms of what went wrong is that we asked too much of the audience,’ Pixar’s Peter Docter told The Wrap.

‘Even if they’ve read the material in press, it was just a little too distant, both in concept, and I think in the way that characters were drawn, that they were portrayed. It was much more of a science fiction,’ Docter said this week.

Yeah, because American audiences have proven to be averse to science fiction because it’s too complicated /sarcasm
