A Marxist message from a cartoon movie in 2001?

Whether you agree or disagree with capitalism criticism you can come to the conclusion the movie was 'about that' in cartoon form. The bottom line is some sort of basic income analogy and criticism of work culture and American capitalism perhaps of the neoliberal variety (the blood and fear economy). You get the picture.

But the real question is this, how was it that a cartoon movie exploring these themes could be made back then but not now? this is the REAL question I'm asking. You can make a movie or children's cartoon with someone who identities as three genders at once but they do not dare make a cartoon movie or live action movie criticising capitalism. I mean they don't even do it in any shape or form.

So why is this? was it that after *2008* Hollywood and the corporations got really sensitive about capitalism being portrayed in any negative light at all and refused to ever produce a film again exploring these themes? they seemed to switch to slave movies, movies about racism and movies about with trans, gay or gender themes after the recession and nothing else. Gee, I wonder why?

The more I think about this the more I am disturbed. My theory is that back in 2001 Americans were more financially stable so a cartoon about monsters working for a corporation that's ultimate message criticized elements of neoliberal capitalism was not such a big deal. Now that many Americans are poor you won't see anything like that. Instead we get WOKE films about race and genders - but don't mention the failure of trickle down economics or else.
