I think the big studios need to get away from putting so much capital into individual animated films, the amount each of these films cost is mind blowing. My favorite movie of 2024 was the indie animated film Flow and it cost $3.5 million and grossed $50 million worldwide. for what Elio cost to make, they could fund 30+ indie animators who would jump at the capital and exposure, and make interesting original films that people would actually like to go see.
