Forget “muh hire fans”. How about porky tries hiring out-of-network?
There are so many stories poor people would be more than happy to tell. Like no really, you will NEVER run out of content. But the insistence on only hiring their rich friends is one of the many reasons why so many studios go stale.
Shame too, because Pixar is still a pretty cool studio: Daddy Catmull invented 3d animation as we know it and can really tell some inspiring stories. Wall-E aging like fine wine.
EDIT: I stand corrected, horribly HORRIBLY corrected
Pixar always was kinda of a shit company, they kicked out/sidelined women while having sexual offenders like john lasseter as their chief creative officer.
I'm sorry. That's sort of the opposite of what happened. The current pixar brain trust largely worked their way to where they are from bekng storyboard artists, animators and/or interns, a lot of them are immigrants or grew up with immigrant backgrounds. The creative lead of pixar is pretty much as close to your imagined scenario as you can get under capitalism and they fucking suck.
The people with the money want a safe return on their investment. The Pixar stockholders are the ones that get to decide whether Pixar takes risks or whether they just churn out endless sequels. And sequels have 47% more brand recognition and 38% higher chance of return on investment.
