What critics compared Elio to
Recent Pixar films like Elemental and Elio felt too beholden to rigid narrative structures and “respectability”.
And while it’s not as impactful as last year’s Elio, it still tells a story of friendship that transcends species.
The grounded environments allow the visuals to be accessible and just as beautiful as the far more abstract concepts depicted in Soul, Inside Out, or Elio.
Tras el éxito de películas profundamente introspectivas como Inside Out, el estudio parece oscilar entre dos estrategias: por un lado, propuestas conceptualmente ambiciosas como Elemental o Elio, y por otro, producciones más ligeras orientadas a un público infantil inmediato.
After I saw last year’s Elio—one of Pixar’s increasingly few and far between original films—I was sure that it would be a hit.
Elio and Elemental felt constrained and formulaic…
A lot of how Fantastic Four plays out reminds me of how I feel towards another recent Disney output: Elio.
