Reply to comment by Mestewart3 in Pixar head Pete Docter on why Lightyear failed by JannTosh17

It couldn’t have been that bad. It has 74% critic rating and 84% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Seems more mediocre than outright bad

It certainly wasn't good enough to get butts in seats.

The movie bombed, and it didn't do so because it was too challenging. Pixar made their name doing that shit. There is no way that Lightyear was a more challenging film than Up for example.

Box office success doesn’t correlate with quality. Plenty of mediocre to good movies have bombed. You’re thinking in capitalistic terms
