Turning Red is Pixar's Biggest Critic/Audience Split in Rotten Tomatoes

screenrant.com:

Turning Red is Pixar's newest critical hit with 95 percent of reviews rating it «Fresh» on Rotten Tomatoes, but its audience rating gives it Pixar's biggest divide between critics and audiences. Since Toy Story in 1995, Pixar has made a total of 25 animated films, landing big Rotten Tomatoes scores for nearly every one of them.

Pixar's brand of fun, creative animated movies with an emotional heart that resonates with both children and adults has maintained an impressively consistent streak of releases for nearly three decades without getting too formulaic or seeing a significant drop in quality. Through both popular franchises like Toy Story or The Incredibles, as well as its one-off originals like WALL-E or Inside Out, Pixar has consistently raised the bar in quality.

Turning Red is the last of Pixar's brief focus on only original films following Toy Story 4, including Onward, Soul, and Luca, before Lightyear, despite not being a part of Toy Story continuity, still marks a return to one of their existing IPs when it arrives later this year. Turning Red's 95 percent Rotten Tomatoes score would be the envy of any other studio, but with its lower Audience Score, how does its split between critics and audiences compare to the studio's 24 other movies?

Pixar's average Rotten Tomatoes score for every feature film released by the studio is a whopping 89 percent, meaning Turning Red's 95 percent score comes in 6 points above average, but even so, it doesn't even rank in the top half of Pixar's lineup. Impressively, Pixar has 14 total films with a 95 percent Rotten Tomatoes score or higher. Turning Red is one of three movies tied at 95 percent
