I find myself wondering who got fired for that decision
it's weird, I think I've actually seen more advertising for the Olaf bit than Coco itself; kinda reflects poorly on their priorities with this one
and, like, Pixar has a long-standing tradition of putting shorts before its films, but it bewilders me that someone at Disney went "hmm, we've usually gone with a seven-minute runtime here... why not bring that up to 21? it'll be fine, the kids won't care"
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I wouldn't say I'm sick of it, but I'm not obsessed with it like I used to be

I thought the short was okay, but then I never saw Frozen in the first place.
Coco itself was goddamn amazing, even by Pixar standards. I've been trying to think of another movie I enjoyed as much -- like, ever -- and I'm coming up blank.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I would have loved to see it if I weren't sour over how the Disney Machine is going to overwrite The Book of Life with it, and how up-their-own-ass Pixar seems to be, and the whole stuff with John Lasseter
Can't (won't) speak for Lasseter. But Coco has about as much to do with The Book of Life as it does with Guacamelee. And if being up their own ass is how they make movies like this, shit, gimme a proctologist. Maybe film needs more people far enough up their ass to find actual substance instead of the usual pop culture diarrhea.

Call it a medium. Or a psychic.
even the kids who liked it are tired of it too
typical capitalism
edit: is it bad that my above comment lends credence to the notion that real life is now a giant shitpost?
Not that I would have seen it in theaters, but still, after commercials and everything, oneight as well show up.to the theater an hour late.
This short had better, like, be 21 minutes of Olaf explaining how to actually end world hunger, cure cancer, and negotiate world peace.
