Hoppers and Gatto Will Stay in Theaters

I’m confident the next originals from Pixar will stay in theaters. “Gatto” is one movie I am looking forward to the most and if they keep this art style as promised, that will definitely distinguish Pixar as one of the top creative animation studios in-house. After Elio, I don’t see Disney higher ups getting reactionary and sending them straight to Disney+ because that is throwing money down the drain and the service is not drawing subscribers exponentially like they used to.

After WDAS started producing CG, the style kinda looked similar blurring the lines. I just feel that Pixar needs Hoppers and Gatto to establish themselves again as the studio made for creative/director driven movies. I consider them the Studio Ghibli of San Francisco Bay. I’m not going to listen to those online rumors of the studio consolidating to Burbank which will never happen.

I am honestly looking forward to Daniel Chong’s movie if Hoppers is doing well in test screenings, and if Luca was well loved, people would definitely pay to see Gatto.

Both of these Pixar originals will STAY in theaters. But I think they need longer theatrical windows before it ever goes to Disney+.
