Pixar boss Pete Docter has said it's a rough time for animated movies, but that all they can do is continue to put out new and original stories like Elio – despite its disappointing box office performance.
"It's a rough time, and all we can do is try to make movies that I think are led by us. We have to believe in them," Docter, writer of both Inside Out and Elio, said at a summit held by Fast Company. "It takes as much work and effort to make something that doesn't make money as it does for something that does. And you can't really plan on this stuff. Sometimes you just hit the right little combinations of things."
