Ah. Might have to watch it then. After a number of duds I gave up on watching new Pixar movies except for those made by Brad Bird, or especially recommended.

Coco and Turning Red were excellent. The rest of your list however, proves you more right than wrong.
I'd argue the only real misses were the cash grab sequels (Cars 2, Cars 3, and I can only assume Lightyear is in that group but looking at RT it seems like both ratings are still "fresh"). The rest of the movies on the post-acquisition list were good, if not great. Critically, I think the worst one on the list is the Good Dinosaur and even that's still generally well liked.
I'd argue that the old-school criterium for a "successful" Pixar movie was that it needed to be great, not just good.
My whole family enjoyed Luca FWIW.
