This style has been the subject of mockery and ridicule for years. Do you think their recent movies would be more popular if they took a risk on their art style, more akin to Dreamworks/Sony?

>>149118675 (OP)
Yes.

>>149118675 (OP)
Idk about saved but making movies that don't look like diarrhea would be a start

>>149118675 (OP)
Which is which?

>>149118675 (OP)
Adopt more cutesy and unique styles and have some sharp and cool artstyles thrown in.
Remember!
If you have a unique style or story to tell that isn't just muh slice of life or muh magical adventures then they'd be ranking in cash.
Be more experimental, be different from the other studios even if you have to get a lil weird to do so.

>>149118675 (OP)
They should use less human characters and go back to more non-human characters.

>>149118675 (OP)
They've always been shit the only reason this overrated studio became famous is the novelty of CG animation and Disney's funding ensuring they had high budget to make it cutting edge.

But once competing studios could deliver similar enough CG Pixar's biggest nightmare happened, normies don't give a damn about quality CG they simply want a method to shut their brats for an hour at least. So Pixar started to lose to Blue Sky and Dreamworks and illumination.

There is nothing special about Pixar because all they ever had is novelty. And once things like the gaming industry started to get similar visual results like Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart which looks like Pixar quality more people become LESS impressed by Pixar's CG.

Novelty is all they ever had and now that its not enough the only salvation would be to rely on the concepts for their stories which have always been rather meh.

You actually think Elio would magically become a good film if it looked slightly different.

>>149118675 (OP)
totally

>>149118882
No, but more people would be inclined to check it out in theaters. That beanmouth shit just looks like it's meant for streaming.

They gotta fire half of their staff and the entirety of their HR.

even the redditors are saying the beanmouth style is offputting

>>149118675 (OP)
You know, literally the only community I've ever seen complain about this 'bean mouth' thing was here on /co/. Literally nobody NORMAL cares.

the people who made pixar great no longer works there
it's just another brand name for propaganda now

>>149118675 (OP)
I think the problem with Pixar is that all their current animators, tech crews and software equipment are all heavily trained on this particular style so they can't move on from it because it would break the production process that they are using. To make films in new artstyles they would have to start from scratch

>>149118675 (OP)
That, and if they didn't let women and queers direct.

>>149118746
The movies had good writing and would have worked in 2D too, look at toy story 3 and ratatouille- brilliant scripts. The problem is wokeness, firing and politicking out the people with institutional knowledge because they were mostly white men, and Pixar stupid rule about every script having to have atleast 50% of the dialogue being spoken by females. You can't make good entertainment if you prioritize pushing an agenda ahead of everything else.

>>149118675 (OP)
No. Better art wouldn't change the fact that Pixar has spent the last 10-15 films flipflopping between "Sequel No One Asked For" and "The Writer's Barely-Disguised Therapy Session".

A good story can survive mediocre art, but good art can't save a mediocre story.

>>149118675 (OP)
I think it got to the point where even the more common audience is getting tired of the style, at least regarding the beanmouth style. The one they use for Inside Out is still fine.

They need to steer away from it. Those mfs have tons of talented artists, what's the difficulty in picking an appealing design? Just pick a handful of design possibilities and show to some people that are part of the intended audience, and see what is their preference.

Pixar has a lot of problems but the number one is being owned by Disney. As >>149121025 pointed out, all of their best films were produced during a time where the studio was not outright owned by Disney, just partnered with them. Once they were purchased, you start to see them putting out their last good original ideas that were already in development before the purchase was finalized.
Up is the last movie they did from when the heart of the studio was still there. As much as I love Toy Story 3, it both ends the old era and kickstarts the new era.
The other problems are
>over reliance on relatability and “hitting the feels” than making captivating stories
>over reliance on human characters whose main purpose are to tell some self insert story about the director
>this terrible fucking bean mouth style that doesn’t actually do anything new
>main characters who no kid is ever going to find cool

>>149118882
Making a good film isn't the end goal, making a successful film is. Most here would agree that Toy Story 4 wasn't good or necessary, but it did well enough that they are making a Toy Story 5. Elio did poorly regardless of how good its script was. Because no one liked how it looked on a surface level, so no one went to see it.

>>149121338
It's much simpler than that - the truth is that the creative minds behind Pixar exhausted all their good creative ideas. Between Lasseter, Stanton, Docter, and Bird most of the good original ideas were burned through by the time Up came out in '09.

>>149118675 (OP)
The art style is only a symptom. A significant part of the audience think that they're just making dumb, woke bombs about peoples childhood trauma.

>>149121013
>The whole Calarts art style thing was coined by a pedo cartoonist

More bean mouth, more asian-american immigrant families, MORE

>>149121429
that must be why the movie they released last year made a retarded amount of money, right?

>Bitter animator talks about crappy mainstream animations

>Some of his followers, some of them who even got some following in this algorithm -ridden world, create the dumb beanmouth meme

>Now any criticism falls into the same lazy beanmouth argument

That's John K legacy animations standards he can't stand and unpopular opinions. But the underline is that he criticized the entire Disney catalog and all American animation. people purposely ignore that he, who was already in his 40's hated those movies. Which, honestly, were never any good. That's the only thing I agree with him on, I also like the post-John K animators, they're cool in my book

The artistic issue is that Disney basically stole the Pixar style for their movies (Tangled and onwards), and left Pixar to do this beanmouth shit.

>>149122080
What's wrong with Elemental, though? The amount of quality concept art it required was mind-blowing.

>>149118746
Shut the fuck up tranny

>>149122111

The entire planet came to Akira Toriyama’s funeral last year what are you even talking about

>>149122920
Don’t you dare compare this shit to Toriyama

>>149118675 (OP)
They don’t have a specific art style. It’s just a coincidence
