Excerpt from The Byzantine Pineapple with Corporation X Business Plan published in 2018 "Executives hide behind the surveys and blame the public for their failures to create products that catch hold with the public. The problem is presented as “people aren’t buying the products that the people told us to make via the marketing surveys.” It is the ultimate CYA." To rephrase: The problem isn't that Studios make crap that no one wants to see. Instead it is the paying audience that is the problem. ================ Compare this to the Pixar explanation of why Lightyear ($200,000,000 budget probably another $200,000,000 on Marketing) failed miserably "The Pixar executive claimed the movie tanked because fans of "Toy Story" – an animated movie about toys coming to life – couldn't understand that action figure toy Buzz Lightyear is a space ranger from a fictional galaxy where he battles Emperor Zurg – a robot alien villain. "We've done a lot of soul-searching about that because we all love the movie," Docter began. "We love the characters and the premise." Docter said, "I think probably what we've ended on in terms of what went wrong is that we asked too much of the audience." ==================== As predicted 5 years ago...the Pixar presentation is that the paying Audience is to blame. The audience is too stupid to understand what a masterpiece Pixar made. YOU ARE TOO STUPID! ========== https://www.theblaze.com/news/lightyear-box-office-pixar-executive-conservatives
