Reply to comment by OnlyMamaKnows in Pixar head Pete Docter on why Lightyear failed by JannTosh17

I had to arduously attempt to explain the concept of time dilation to my 6 year old sister with little success since I didnt really understand it myself.

That being said I thought the movie was cool, but it looked like they couldnt figure out what they wanted it to be, so it probably won't stand out in my memory.

I think they could have gone the more expected route and done a lot better.

My kids (7 & 5) were pretty lost but liked the robot cat. They've never asked to watch it again which is rare.

This is telling. My nieces are the same age and any movie they like they will watch at least 3-4 times.

Well, it is Einstein‘s relativity theory. Who does understand that really? Explaining it to a six year old seems like a fun challenge though.

Easy. Time = distance + speed. Or something

It's all relative...
