I read the piece again and became even more disappointed.

2026: "Docter said Pixar found some parents didn’t want entertainment to force them to have a conversation they weren’t ready for with their children. “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy,” he said."

2009:

@tvaziri “Hey, y’know the thing that makes Pixar movies interesting, emotionally resonant, and genuinely loved? We’re going to stop doing that because some shitty parents told us in a focus group they’re afraid of feelings.”
