Both have space aliens that look like aquatic animals, peaceful galactic federation menaced by a goofy purple alien with 4 eyes and his failure of a son, young female relative forced to look after an orphaned autistic kid and getting in over her head, the looming threat of the kid getting sent away, the autist kid getting bullied by other kids (the white bully is the worst one of course) and eventually abducted by aliens, quirky fat gay scientist secondary with a pedo stache, the protagonist and most other human characters being brown, the kid befriending a goofy evil alien with big sharp teeth who is surprisingly a lot like themselves, dramatic spaceship chase in the climax, the part where the alien sidekick gets sick on Earth and almost dies but gets revived by a loved one's tears was in Lilo & Stitch 2 (and in the live action remake too, I think?)
Elio is a shitty Lilo & Stitch grubhubian ripoff, released by the same evil corpo alongside an even shittier Lilo & Stitch live action remake. Yes it is mind-boggling what they are doing with this IP.
Disney also managed to ruin their other IP about Pacific Islanders not even half a year before this live action abortion, with the same trick of selling direct to streaming cheapo slop at full price to shill their Hawaiian resort. The newest Pixar project is some generic cat movie that looks AI-generated and like it's ripping off Ratatouille and Flow in particular and numerous other kids' movies. Oh, and Coco 2, which is probably why Elio was handed over to the other directors and sloppified. Fuck this shitty company, I hope it crashes and burns.
