Reasons to catch the Pixar film screening at Disney:
In a bold move, the animated film Elio, produced by Pixar, has made its debut on Disney Plus. The film, directed by Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian, and Domee Shi, has been generating buzz for its unique blend of humor, emotion, and science fiction.
Elio is a young boy who harbors a dream of meeting aliens, feeling out of place on Earth. His character is imperfect, causing conflicts and resulting in comic misunderstandings and dramatic situations. This imperfection is a key element in the film's narrative development.
The film's storyline refines the classic Pixar family drama, focusing on the protagonist's feeling of being 'strange' in the eyes of others. It also reflects the conflict between Elio and his aunt in the villain Lord Grigon's relationship with his son Glordon. This interplanetary family drama is a fresh take on the familiar theme of families trying to come together.
One of the most thrilling sequences from Pixar in years is the spaceship heist scene in Elio. This masterful blend of tension, emotion, and humor showcases Pixar at the height of its creativity. The launch, with its vibrant visuals and high-speed moments, rivals the big moments of other recent studio films like Inside Out 2, Red: Growing Up is a Beast, and Elements.
Elio's arc explores the protagonist's personal growth, similar to Red: Crescer é uma Fera. The film's aesthetics bring a unique freshness to the science fiction genre, setting it apart from other productions.
Despite underperforming at the box office, earning $144.2 million globally, Elio has received excellent reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scored 83%. The film is compared to recent Disney and Pixar films like Coco, Red: Growing Up is a Beast, and Encanto, all of which focus on family dramas.
Despite changes behind the scenes and the removal of some original character aspects, Elio still delivers a unique film that stands out for its creativity and authenticity. The film expands the familiar family drama theme to an interplanetary universe, keeping the emotion and making the story more engaging.
In conclusion, Elio is a must-watch for fans of Pixar and science fiction. Its unique blend of humor, emotion, and interplanetary adventure make it a standout addition to the Disney Plus catalog.
