This was such a beautiful film! A kid obsessed with space and wanting to get abducted by aliens? Sold.

I ugly cried from the beginning and could relate to it more than I expected 😭 gonna try to watch it again! :tony:

I'll take my nephew in a couple of weeks. It looks fantastic. 

Sucks it bombed ala Joker.

Silver lining: Maybe Pixar's Mayhem is coming?

But I thought it was bc they were woke, and a movie starring a white male kid would serve. Would Conservatives lie? :ohwell:

if it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't know of it's existence..  didn't see any ig stuff, or at the cinemas or around town posters.. so no wonder.

It's had really good reviews as well, such a shame. People just don't go to the cinema anymore for original stuff, they want familiarity and know what they are getting when they spend the money, hence all the existing IP crap we get, smaller films are better going to streaming imo

I think this comes down to 2 factors. 
Ticket prices are way too high now. Unless it’s a movie people really want to see, they’ll wait for this to release on Disney plus in a couple months. 
I also believe it’s down to lack of imagination/ fun. 
Pixar movies used to be about Monsters, talking fish and Toys which come alive. 
Movies about humans (I’m assuming Elio is that) just aren’t as interesting

The ad I saw on TV was boasting it's "an instant PIXAR classic"...:icant:

Is it the one where they were quoting reviewers?

I don't think I've seen an animated movie from the past 10 years but I've seen ads for this one a lot and thought it looks like a really good one, but I'd never go to the cinema for an animated movie
