Alan Ng's review on Film Threat of the new Pixar film Elio
Last year, Inside Out 2 became the highest-grossing animated film in history. While that didn’t necessarily make it the best, it signaled that Pixar was back to form. After that massive success, Disney/Pixar follows it up with a space tale for boys…can lightning strike twice with Elio? Well, this is Disney after all.
Is there a single property/studio that Disney has purchased in the past 15 years or so, that they have not destroyed over time?
It pains me to say this, but Elio earns the dubious distinction of being the worst Pixar movie ever made. Story-wise, Elio is for children…mostly young boys…unlike every Pixar movie, there is nothing for adults. Mom—Dad! Be prepared to be bored for ninety minutes while your child takes in the cute aliens and slapstick humor.
There are a couple of truly great Pixar films, and not because the animation technology is outstanding, because the early movies were made before the technology was outstanding. The movies were good because they knew how to tell stories. I guess those times are gone.
This is the Film Threat video ELIO IS THE WORST PIXAR MOVIE EVER MADE | Film Threat Rant
This is mostly a critique of the artistic composition of individual scenes. Walt Disney took inspiration from classic, master works. Current generations of animation from Disney takes inspiration from no one. It is a non-spoiler review.
The video is 20 minutes long.
