Honestly, I didn't expect this from the Disney-owned company, as bigwigs have played things pretty safe when it comes to marketing their movies. This post definitely represents frustration, though, and it’s understandable. Pixar's latest flick is a fresh idea that animators worked to perfect for years and years. Additionally,reviews forEliohave also been positive, with critics being charmed by the new project and the messaging at the core. The cosmic, coming-of-age romp deserves support, especially considering how hard it can be to get original ideas off the ground in Hollywood.

Still,Eliobombedat the box office in its opening weekend a week ago, with its debut marking theworst opening for a Pixar movieever.

It's the animation style that kills any interest in it for me. The characters all look like a really high definition upscale of Jimmy Neutron but without the same charm.

>>212186694 (OP)
>fresh idea
It's just another of those animated movies that looks like the grubhub commercial.

>>212186763
Favorite Jimmy Neutron episode?

Did you ever play the PS2 game?

What's interesting is that its a protest movie against Sound of Freedom.

The protagonist is a child who wants to be abducted and tells his alien abductors that he'd be a cute kid to abduct because he's "shredded".

I shit you not.

>>212186694 (OP)
They made zero effort to market it. They wanted it to bomb on purpose so they can say, "BUT LOOK AT HOW WELL THE REMAKES DO COMPARED TO WHEN WE DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL!"

>>212186977
The Lilo and Stitch cardboard standee was up, 8 months in advance.

This had nothing.

>>212186977
100%, it's a tactical play. I wouldn't have even known this movie existed if it wasn't for this board. And it's not even a "go woke go broke" thing, it's that they clearly pulled whatever marketing budget they would usually have for a movie like this, so nobody is even aware of it, then Disney can throw their hands up and say "heh well it seems no one likes original stories, guess we'll have to keep making sequels, but it's your fault not ours"

>original
>same art style as their last 5 films

>>212186967
>The protagonist is a child who wants to be abducted and tells his alien abductors that he'd be a cute kid to abduct because he's "shredded".
Even putting the obvious implication aside, this is still gonna massively backfire in light of the ICE raids especially since the protagonist looks to be Hispanic

grubhub animation + dogshit title = nobody wants to watch your shit ass movie thats just the same plot point you've already explored 5 other times. not even kids want to see that shit.

Still nowhere near as bad as the TRON: Uprising murder.

Redpill me on tron, anon.

>>212187241
>tron uprising
holy shit the memory flashbacks I just got from looking that up
I watched that shit as a kid, online somehow but note sure where, almost completely forgot about it until now. the little I can remember is that it was kino, weird that this is essentially the first time I've ever seen it mentioned anywhere since.

>>212186763
For me, it’s all the spics and niggers in the film. I’m sure that’s why most people skipped it.

>>212186694 (OP)
The creative magic pixar used to have is gone.
Everything they do now look terrible.

>>212186763
This. Same thing that made be disgusted by Encanto. And Turning Red. And Soul. And damn near everything Disney/Pixar has crapped-out in nearly the past decade.

Uprising was the fucking shit. It was a darker tone for sure, they weren't afraid to show people getting derezzed and often.

>>212186694 (OP)
Honestly... I thought this was a Lucca spinoff the entire time.

Wait, backfire for who?

>>212186906
Attack of the Twonkies? I remember hating the arcade game section where you have to get really high scores to proceed.

Fuck them for killing this. Fuck them twice for not releasing it on physical media in HD.

>>212186763

Not watching beanmouthslop

I refuse to watch Pixar movies until they stop making humanoid protagonists

>>212188918
This. It’s an affront to the human form.

>>212186694 (OP)
Maybe pixar should go back to making enjoyable movies instead of hamfisting their DEIdeaologies into everything they make now.

>>212189149
get new material, you would've said the same thing if wall-e or a bug's life came out nowadays

That's not how you beg Disney.

I want you to beg me to watch your movie.

Like a dog. Grovel for your meal.

>>212186694 (OP)
all this means is the Disney brass likes giving out fuck you's, but doesn't like accepting them

>>212189266

>>212189229
no, no one would say that about good movies.

>>212189413
lucca is good and people say that

>>212186694 (OP)
Not interested in woke brown gotslop propaganda and I sure as hell am not gonna take my kids to see that shit. As a matter of fact I’ve never even taken them to the movie theaters, we just watch movies in my home theater down stairs. Not only is it cheaper, but we have much better options to choose from instead of woke goyslop propaganda A and woke goyslop propaganda B. Death to Disney, Pixar, and movie theaters. And death to all trannies, jannies, niggers, kikes, shitskins, muslims, poos, chinese, spics, slavs, canadians, leftists, and basically everyone else that aren’t straight, white, and conservative. The japs are ok but that’s it. You can spare the hot women but they must be sterilized so they can’t produce any mutts.

>>212189412
That's not how you beg, swine. Disney doesn't own an idea, and posting it profiteers them nothing.

>>212186977
Even the name is generic and non-descriptive. You can't even tell by the name that its an English film. Something like "Elio's great space adventure" would at least doubled ticket sales.

based Uprising bros
I was here discussing it on /tv/ way back when too

it was a fucking tragedy they put that show through and then canceling, only because Disney had their own "Toy Story" moment, realized they just got 2 new "toys" (Star Wars, Marvel) and ditched Tron like it was some old busted piece of plastic

a goddamn tragedy

>>212189412
>Magneto is a character created by writer Stan Lee and realized by artist Jack Kirby

Disney didn't make him. They make gay shit like Elio.

Reminder that the “bean mouth” art style is designed to minimize sexual dimorphism and glorify nonstandard (I.e. fat) bodies. It is inherently political.

No that’s not it, considering which movies are doing well at the box office.

>it can either be reboot/remake/adaptationslop OR it can be original, bland and derivative, those are the only two options!

>>212189692
Are you ok with Jews making your industry?
>Inb4 "i don't watch movies I just shitpost!"

>>212186967
>Sound of Freedom
The uproar about this was one of the weirdest things in recent memory. It was a mediocre thriller with zero political implications.
Then every time it came up you'd get a chorus of "my racist boomer chud parents forced me to watch this and there's a scene where Jim Caviezal puts on a Klan hood and tells the audience that Qanon needs them to murder Hillary Clinton"
Not even believable disparagement, just frothing at the mouth in response to a bland "save the children" movie.

They have a good point.
