fennectikWell, I will state that for a while now, Pixar has been teetering into a nosedive but managed to stay on the rope long enough to deliver a few good movies despite others being just sequels that serve as their sole lifeline being that nowadays they're nervous on creating new, original films.
In Elio's case, seems that is not doing so good by far in money revenue, then again I could see from far away this movie was not going to become anything special as many of previous films the company had released.
Simply put, Elio is giving me the same vibes as The Good Dinosaur. Its trying but it can't get there.
I read an article where Pixar admits that nowadays they're conflicting with coming something original while endless sequels to movies long past seems the norm for them.
And that makes me sad.
Ever since I saw them going for the sequel route beginning with Toy Story 2, I began feeling this pit in my stomach, as if foreshadowing where all was going being that Pixar was mostly known for its one time movies with strong messages, likeable characters, and superb story telling where a sequel didn't seem necessary being that the movie itself was more than enough to fulfill your fancy.
But now I see that era is at end and the mouse simply cares more about revenue than enlightenment.
With another Toy Story sequel showing up I have less and less hopes for this movie company. But I guess that is what must come to pass.
As sad as that is.
