Saw it this weekend, it's a solid Pixar movie. But I only learned about it because I was looking to go see a movie and Elio was the most original movie playing at the local theater; I'd heard nothing about it.

I have heard more about the two live-action remakes (Lilo and Stitch/How to Train Your Dragon) and the sequel (28 years later) that are currently showing.

People who have kids know it will be on streaming and can't afford the theatre. Figure it out. This isn't nostalgia IP, it's for actual children. Like who live in families with budgets and priorities. Catch me when the streaming numbers post.

I have kids and this post is the first I'm even hearing about it, but you're right I'm not rushing to the cinema, remortgaging my house only to surround myself with feral kids, I'll wait until it hits Disney Primeflix.

Yeah they killed it by not advertising at all

They've been playing trailers for it for literal years. It seems like we started seeing Elio trailers before kid's movies around fall or winter 2022. My wife and I had started wondering if it was ever going to come out.
