I had already noticed there wasn't much interest in the film on social media sites like Twitter or Instagram. But the real promotion hasn't started yet and the box office results will also depend on the quality of the film itself. Also, these surveys are not always a good indicator of the success a movie can have.
Dumbo, for example, was in the top 10 last year and it flopped. So, I agree it's a bit alarming, but we'll see. I think it can still have good box office results.

The problem could also be the character designs, which make the film look more generic than usual for Pixar. Maybe some people haven't even realized it's from Pixar.

That list is quite different from the Fandango one. I'm surprised
Sonic the Hedgehog is so high on it. I guess the main character's redesign has worked wonders for promotion of the movie.
By the way, I haven't shared my most anticipated Disney movies of 2020. Here's my top 10:
1. Raya and the Last Dragon
2. Onward
3. Soul
4. Jungle Cruise
5. Eternals
6. Black Widow
7. Mulan
8. The One and Only Ivan
9. The Call of the Wild
10. Artemis Fowl
I can't believe we are getting three original animated films from Disney this year! And two of them have fantasy elements, which I love. I'm really excited for both
Raya and
Onward, but I think I'm looking forward to
Raya a bit more mainly because it's from WDAS. I'm not that excited for
Soul yet, but it's by Peter Docter, so it'll probably be a good movie.
I'm also glad there'll be more original live-action Disney films than last year, and that the only remake we are getting is not a shot-for-shot one. The Marvel offerings are not as exciting as 2019's ones, but Marvel always delivers lately, so I'm also looking forward to both
Eternals and
Black Widow.
I think I'll definitely see the first seven films on my list in theaters. I'm not sure about the last three, but I also want to see them eventually.
