Dear Pete Docter: Please stay in animation

Pete (may I call you Pete?) I loved “INSIDE OUT.” Everybody loved “INSIDE OUT.” It’s got something like 100% approval rating. People are wondering what you’re going to do next.

I beg of you: let it be animated. Stay the hell away from live action.

Now I have no idea if you are even considering live action, but if you are, don’t.

Andrew Stanton. Huge Pixar success story. Director of “WALL-E” and “FINDING NEMO.” Both huge hits.

He went live action. Directed “JOHN CARTER.” I loved it, but people didn’t bother to come see it. Lost millions.

Brad Bird. “THe IRON GIANT.” Moved to Pixar and gave us “THE INCREDIBLES.” His name was associated with quality.

He went live action. Directed “TOMORROWLAND.” I loved it, but people didn’t bother to come see it. Lost millions.

Don’t be strike three, Pete.
