As an adult, it looks like generic schlock. I wonder if it would appeal more in the young adult age bracket, where I think I've seen most Pixar movies.

Unless I just happened to miss it every time...where was the advertising for this movie? I've literally seen nothing from it and all of a sudden I hear that it's out. It's probably why it's doing badly.

I've seen advertising for it during the NBA Finals (Disney owns Pixar and ABC/ESPN) and there are plenty of people with children who watch that, so I don't think it's a lack of advertising as much as it is a lack of interest.

yeah, it didn't really catch my interest

even the theatrical trailer (that had a bit more exposition) was pretty meh

It did, but it was carried hard by positive word of mouth and ended up doing decent.

I dont think this one has that kind of positivity coming from people whove seen it.

Personally I found the main character to be obnoxious and off putting bases on the trailers. Maybe other people felt the same.

Yeah, their heads/necks always do the slight retreat, before their little cranes to speak. That's infiltrated this entire gen - I see it on animated tv commercials even.

As for the film, wasn't its release date pushed back a year?

Yeah, it's possible I missed the ads. But apparently the trailers made the movie look generic and uninteresting anyway, so I can understand the lack of interest.

From what I remember, people were saying Elemental was mediocre and bland at the time.

The kids went to see it and decided they liked it. As did the audience outside of the US.

Pixar should stick to animals and fantasy creatures. Their human stuff never does well outside of Incredibles.

Soul was an amazing movie and it had zero appeal to kids from a naive point of view.

I think Elios main issue is that it looks really generic, and childish at the same time. Childish in design, trailer spots, and it feels like we have had this movie multiple times in The last decade.

Pixar doesn't just make kids movies.

Competitor is what hurt this one. I have no doubt it is good; because pixar has one of the best reportoirs of any studio

Is this about the movie where the kid gets abducted by aliens? I know this is just how it works these days, but I think the trailer showed way too much. What's the point of watching the movie when we've already seen their homeworld?

It would have been more interesting to show the kid being obsessed with aliens, and end the trailer with him getting beamed up. That would show what it's about, but would leave some mystery.

Im sure to make the character stand out a bit more and be different. Within the story, in the beginning he gets into a fight and his eye gets hurt, its a temporary patch (no spoilers thats literally within the first five minutes of the movie).
