Re: Pete Docter to Take Over Pixar

Post by Sotiris »

Q: Pixar revitalized the trend of putting a short in front of a film. But that’s something that kind of universally has gone away from the box office experience. Are there any plans to get back into shorts at this time?

Pete Docter: Nothing I can talk about today. I mean, there’s been a lot of talk back and forth, because obviously there are super fun to do and the shorts have been a great test for us of new technology and new talent. They are expensive and people don’t pay extra to see a short film in front, we’re hoping we can get back to that at some point. But nothing, no concrete plans yet.

Kind of ridiculous if he's saying they are largely not doing them because they cant monetize them. Whats so hard about attatching them to theatrical relaeses, then selling them separately, and putting them on disney plus, the same way you do any other content?

Also, I don't see them as expensive compared to full length features. You have youtubers putting out pretty good stuff for free, so why couldn't pixar do it with a small budget?
