Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable.
The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.
I definitely am not the target audience for Turning Red. I admit that. And kids probably didn’t like Soul as much as adults. But if Disney/Pixar wonders why they aren’t getting the numbers they used to, they need to target the four quadrant audience, but more importantly have better writing overall.
Kids like a lot of things… sometimes things that are truly awful. I used to be a kid who liked awful stuff growing up too. You can have a monkey character who says “poop” every other word and kids would find that hilarious. Doesn’t make it good. I’m not the target audience for Bluey, but I can tell it’s better than most things out there.
Also, it’s definitely subjective. I’ve watched a lot of movies and television so I can see more unoriginality than others. I used to like the Knock Knock joke about the banana and orange… and the chicken crossing the road. But now, what else is new? How many stories about a character turning into an animal to learn a lesson do we need?
