AH. SO ELIO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GAY. THAT'S WHY IT WENT THROUGH PRODUCTION HELL. I SEE

in other news, i suggest firebombs

[nickpeppermint]

So i watched it, and this mf doesn't know what he's talking about AT ALL

He whines that Elio doesn't have a unique shape (neither do protagonists of Coco / Inside out / most of Incredibles cast which he praises) and completely ignores all the unique aliens, which INTENTIONALLY CONTRAST to humanoid Elio

He doesn't know the difference between art style, character appearance and silhouette, and he only sees it as a marketability tool

He doesn't bring shape language reasons, characters should be shaped like squares just for funnies i guess

He says that Elio's design is not memorable, and compares him to characters from Up, who is the most generic normal people, who looks this way for relatability sake, they're recognizable only because you've already seen this movie as a kid

If you draw Carl or Russell in a different art style you wouldn't recognize em i swear, while Elio, Mei, Luca have tons of distinct and unique features

You don't need to make character a dodecahedron to make him memorable, the design must correlate to its tone first, Elio rounded cuz he's friendly and inoffensive

If you relate more to Carl than to Elio or Luca or Mei well it's because you're old af, and just hate everything new

"But Pixar used to be about animals and objects n shit, now there are too many humans" first of all, most Pixar movies have big human focus in them, second Elio isn't just about the single human, there are wacky aliens, Luca has sea monsters, Turning Red has big effing red panda, are these not unique and memorable enough creatures?

I can cherry pick a bunch of old characters with Le Bean Mouth, but which is only bad now because a meme said so, and we all must hop on a trend made by a bunch of a-holes who have no idea what they're talking about and spread negativity about the movie they haven't even seen

Your life isn't up there, Elio. It's down here.

[olympain]

You are unique, Elio of Earth. And unique can feel like alone, but you are not alone.

You know that feeling of anticipation you get when something let's say a game, tv show, or movie gets announced? And then you get it and it somehow exceeds your every expectation?

I felt it once with Luca and Elio was the second time around. The smile I had on my face almost the entire time I watched this was amazing.

I don't make a habit of watching movies in 3D due to how uncomfortable they are on my face with my glasses but this movie was 110% worth nose pain.

I haven't been this stupidly happy in so long man. I love space, I love animation, mush them together and you get one very happy moviegoer.

I really really truly hate Disney for it's very late and very rushed promotion of this movie, forcing it's fans to pick up the slack and try to get people out there to see this. I also hate the fact that this movie would be so goddamn amazing to see in IMAX!!! Even for one night, this movie deserves the biggest screen possible man.

Anyway get out there and see Elio, it's cute, it's beautiful, it'll probably make you cry, and hopefully it'll bring us more space related animation soon. Also more original movies. Can't forget that one!
