Pixar CEO admits sending 'Soul,' 'Turning Red' and 'Luca' straight to streaming has “trained audiences' that their movies 'will be available for you on Disney+': “It’s more expensive for a family of 4 to go to a theater when they know they can wait.'
‘s film is a story about immigration, families, duty and love. Not only does Docter say the visuals are “a spectacle,” but believes it should be experienced with an audience.
In the long run, there’s been a bit of a mixed blessing because we’ve trained audiences that these films will be available for you on Disney+. And it’s more expensive for a family of four to go to a theater when they know they can wait and it’ll come out on the platform. I like to think where we start from is trying to appeal to the kid in all of us. For me with “Monsters Inc.”, l always believed in monsters as a kid. I was fascinated by them. As an animator, I wanted to sit, draw and animate monsters. With Pete Sohn, we made characters out of fire and water. What do they eat? How do they drive to work? Where do they work? There were all these questions where your mind starts to expand out in all directions and imagine this world, and that’s what I love.
My dad was a musician. He always talks about music as a combination of the comfort of familiarity and surprise. If it tips in either direction, it doesn’t work. If you can tell where every next note is going to fall, you’re like, “hmmm.” But if every note is a surprise, and you don’t know where it’s going, and it’s so foreign, it doesn’t work either. So, most people generally gravitate towards music which is a sweet spot, somewhere in the middle.
It’s all fair game. Our philosophy from the beginning has been the same. The people have changed, but the approach is the same. We tap people that we believe in and feel like they have talent and something to say. We ask them to talk about things that are important to them. If this is impactful and powerful to a person, they’re going to get on the screen, and it will resonate with audiences.
