This reminds me of the infamous Sid Sheinberg memo to Steven Speilberg and Bob Zemeckis on changing the title of “Back to the Future”.

“Behind the note”, it’s about emphasizing the goofy fun of the film, rather than the genre elements, and in that it’s right on.

I would never have gone to see a spaceman from Pluto.

Based on how “Pluto Nash” performed: that’s a deeply and widely held sentiment.
