Re: Turning Red movie

[(Anonymous)]

This incessant talk about movies “needing” to be relatable to be good or resonate with people is ridiculous. Like the other anon said, Up was incredibly successful with pretty much every demographic, and it’s not because it was relatable to everyone or something. It was because it was a good movie. Similarly, whether you like or want to watch Turning Red shouldn’t hang completely on whether you can relate to the protagonist. People that age, or people who can went through similar things at that age can relate, and that’s fine. Big that’s just a bonus. It has no bearing on the movie’s actual quality.

Istg, people going on about it like it’s do or die have made me hate the word “relatable” altogether, especially where art is concerned. And it’s because it’s most often used for bad faith criticism.

And your theory about non-human characters being more relatable because they’re blank slates isn’t completely untrue for everyone, but it’s still just conjecture in general. The reason the other Pixar favorites are loved is because they’re also just good movies that people enjoyed watching, like Up. And the ones people almost universally disliked didn’t perform badly because they failed to be relatable, it’s just because they weren’t very good.
