Elio (Domee Shi & Madeline Sharafian, June 20, 2025) Movie

Call Me By Your Name prequel? Biopic about a frozen pizza magnate?

But honestly good on this, doing aliens will let Pixar get real weird which I feel like they will do well at lol

 

i'm preemptively pissed that disney is eventually gonna duck a theatrical release for this

 

Justice 4 Luca

 

anything but pay their damn actors

 

One of which is a kid lmao

 

Nice use of Ben gibby in the trailer

 

trailer tomorow

 

tickets on sale

 

i didn’t hate this but it definitely felt disjointed (which three credited directors might explain). has its moments but it’s also an example of what either pete docter or iger meant when he said pixar will move towards being broader or “more universal”. decent film that also really pushes the glory days further into the rearview

 

Thought this was very good! Spielbergian at times

 

I got home from seeing Elio and I really enjoyed it but I was literally the only person at the screening which is surprising because it's a new Pixar original film and normally in the past on opening weekend it would be busy but sadly I was just the only person there and film twitter complaining about people not going to the cinema to watch original films that's not based on pre existing IP and an original film like Elio gets released.. I bet those same people didn't even bother to go

 

I’m a big Pixar fan and I didn’t end up seeing it. Everything I heard was that it was visually stunning, but kind of a B- story. I just didn’t feel particularly compelled to see it and I want to support original films.

 

it is original

 

I know. I’m saying I still don’t feel compelled to see it.

 

Ah. It’s definitely worth matinee price. It’s good.

 

Alrighty. I’ll try and check it out sometime soon while it’s still in the nice theaters.

 

temper expectations by at least a smidge. it's not terrible but it's also not a whole lot better than elemental, for instance

 

Saw this yesterday to a little over half-filled theater. Movie was decent but probably in a lower-tier Pixar ranking (which is still higher than most). My daughter's friend that came with said it reminded her of the Mario movie and I kind of get that comparison. Elio's friend Glordon was a great character, though
