    I don’t understand you, but I love you I’ll always be a sucker for Carl Sagan and space, but found myself surprisingly invested in its tender conversation of loneliness and expectation, especially from the perspective of a child. Might be familiar territory, especially for Pixar, but with Domee Shi behind the wheel, it works better than most of the tired sequels. Give her the keys to the castle, for all our sakes.

    ELIO may present itself as a whimsical children’s space adventure, and it certainly delivers on that front, but it’s also a poignant meditation from the team at Pixar on grief, loneliness & the importance of embracing what makes us unique. One of the animation studio’s stronger offerings in recent years, it’s visually radiant, backed by an emotional score & filled with likable characters. Combining heartfelt storytelling with a wide-eyed sense of cosmic wonder, it resonates with a comforting sentiment: that even when it feels like our whole world has been taken from us, we are, indeed, not alone.

    I thought this wasn’t gonna be that good of an animation well i thought wrong. I love the way this animation looked and i lowkey almost teared up at the end, just me or did anyone else almost cried? Watched this film in a cardboard box car which was different and unique. I had lots of fun!

    A surprisingly cute movie!! I was hesitant at first due to everyone saying it looked cheap and artistically too similar to the trending animation style (which a lot of people seem to hate). However, it was really sweet and I enjoyed it a lot! Watch the movie and enjoy it for what it is, not for what everyone expects/criticizes it to be. It’s a cute, original, silly, and heartwarming movie about finding oneself and belonging.

    “You are unique, Elio of Earth. And unique can feel like alone, but you are not alone.” “Okay, bye, love you!” “I may not always understand you, but i still love you.” why am i crying again? the friendship between elio and glordon is something to live for

    J’ai beaucoup aimé le style de l’animation et les messages qu’il y a derrière : ne pas se sentir à sa place, l’acceptation de soi et les messages aussi pour les parents/gardiens légaux d’être attentifs à ce que les enfants peuvent ressentir

    A lot of people – including Disney – look at this and its kin (Strange New World, Turning Red, Hoppers etc) flopping and try and attribute it to the “culture war”, when in actuality I think it’s far more to do with a new generation of creatives at Pixar asleep at the wheel, so concerned with maintaining the house visual style and navalgazey story beats and heavy-handed ‘conflict avoided through therapised de-escalation’ conclusions that audiences; ESPECIALLY kids; sniff it out…

    şimdi uzun süredir yazmadığım ve özellikle animasyon yeni bir film izlemediğim için yazasımm geldi. Yani azcık animasyonları concept tasarımları için izleyen birisiyseniz bence kaçırılmayacak film. Klişe olmayan karakter seviyorum ben ve Elio orijinal sayılabilecek karakterlere sahip. Özellikle bu kadar yakın zamanda çıkmış olması çok iyi bir şey. Çünkü karakter tasarım konusunda animeleri saymazsak- ki onlarında içlerinde tekrar edeni çok – elementlerdir, hayvanlardır bi kenara bırakıp uzaya açılmaları iyi olmuş pixarın. Bi kere bazı karakterleri gerçeğe uydurmak zorundasındır karakter gereği veya…

    WHY WAS THE VOICE OVER NOT REVEALED TO BE ELIO AS AN ADULT. WHY WOULD THEY NOT HAVE A FLASH FORWARD SHOWING ELIO AND GLORDON REUNITING AS ADULTS WITH THEIR SECRET HANDSHAKE WHEN ELIO FINALLY TAKES HIS POSITION IN THE COMMUNIVERSE. This could have reached arrival or interstellar levels of circular story telling and they fumbled the opportunity with that weak little mid credit scene instead. Whatever. Otherwise my jam completely. Elio’s so real for yelling thank you while being…

    Ok recuperato anche quest’altro film Pixar, e me ne manca solo uno di quelli disponibili. Questa volta parliamo di quello che è stato il peggiore flop finanziario della storia della Pixar, nonché il bagno di realtà dopo la bolla di “Inside Out 2” e che ha aperto una nuova era dello studio (in peggio): essere al 100% un azienda, che alternerà idee originali smussate in favore degli azionisti e sequel infiniti per tenere in piedi la baracca. “Elio” è un…

    Elio is a cute and charming film that manages to capture some of the old-school Pixar magic. The titular character is instantly likeable, and the space travel elements are absolutely gorgeous, with some particularly imaginative sequences that make the most of its cosmic setting. The story does fall into the familiar Pixar formula, and while that makes some of its beats predictable, the characters keep the film engaging. There are some genuinely funny moments sprinkled throughout, and I particularly enjoyed…

    i really liked this movie. i feel like pixar never disappoints. they keep improving their animation, they listen to their audience, and while their current demographic is obviously children and YA, they still make movies that the whole family can enjoy. they always manage to put deeper meanings and messages into their movies, too. i’ve loved pixar since i was a little kid, and I still love pixar now. i really, really enjoyed this film. there’s so much to it, and i can’t really say much other than that.
