Pixar CCO Shuts Down Josh O’Connor’s Campaign for a Live-Action ‘Ratatouille’

Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained why live-action remakes of animated films 'bother' him.

“This might bite me in the butt for saying it, but it sort of bothers me,” Docter told Time when asked about live-action remakes. Instead of live-action remakes, like Disney has been doing with “The Lion King” and “Moana,” Docter envisions Pixar to expand its film slate with more sequels like the newly-released “Inside Out 2.” Docter summed up of the Pixar franchise-building model, “If [‘Inside Out 2’] doesn’t do well at the theater, I think it just means we’re going to have to think even more radically about how we run our business.”
