Walt Disney World with a synergy ad for Elio:
Elio tells the aliens all about EPCOT and how great it is, so they establish a pavilion there.

The could take over Mission Space, or I dunno that Wonders of Life Pavilion that’s been empty for almost two decades now?

The Wonders of Life Pavilion should have been a Inside Out attraction a long time ago.

Don't tell Quill, he might get jealous.

I disagree since this isn’t like what Lasseter did, otherwise Molina still wouldn’t be at Pixar making Coco 2 with Lee Unkrich.

Had nothing to do with the why, but when the changes occurred.
Ratatouille’s changes occurred early in pre-production
Good Dinosaur and Elio’s changes happened further along into the production stage.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
After more than 20 years of not seeing them since Monsters Inc., Pixar’s bloopers are returning to theaters for the first time with Elio, when it hits theaters June 20th. Here’s an exclusive clip from them, courtesy of DiscussingFilm: .
Honestly, I’m glad to see these things of Pixar come back. Was kinda hoping they’d do more of these beginning with Toy Story 5 next June, since that film marks the 40 Year Anniversary of Pixar. But I’m not complaining and I’ll take them either way.
I do hope we can get more of these bloopers for Toy Story 5 with Conan O’Brien writing the material for the outtakes and bloopers of that movie since he’ll be in the movie as Smarty Pants and because that movie will mark Celebrating 40 Years of Pixar, which I hope they acknowledge in their logo.

I agree, this does echo the good dinosaur. Cracking story beats and massively overhauling the film is quite common. In fact I attended a panel at D23 where the lot of animated directors basically said so. Domee Shi was on the panel and there was obviously a lot of comments that were about Elio without saying so. But unlike things like Frozen, Tangled or Zootopia, this represents a very late overhaul and a film delay. After significant publically released concept and footage. Which only really happened with Good Dinosaur.
Though the good dinosaur also replaced nearly its entire voice cast. That was quite something. This only shed America Ferrara due to scheduling conflicts.
The only time I can think of something having worked out, like this example, is Rogue One.

Well, that is kind of disheartening as I was optimistic about this one!
Oh well, we shall see soon enough, I guess.

And yet per the early reactions (which admittedly could change if more don’t turn out to be in its favor), the movie seems to be another winner for Pixar.

Hoping this lands. And has good word of mouth. Would have been a fitting movie for Father's Day.

Searched for it real quick and didn’t see it. Though the thread got deleted. Thanks

Also, early social media reactions from people who were invited to the premiere are rarely allowed to be negative. Studios like Disney pretty much prohibit negative commentary until after the professional review embargo drops (and it hasn't yet on this one). I remember how the first social media comments on Wish were by and large glowing, and look how THAT worked out. And the comments for Elio so far are so suspiciously samey to boot.
I'm honestly surprised that Disney didn't think to get the jump on How to Train Your Dragon 2.0 by lifting the professional review embargo and letting the good word get out to the general public for ads and such; it could have changed a few adult minds about seeing that with the kids this weekend. Unless they know the reviews aren't going to be great...
(I actually read some of the tie-in books for this. Without going into spoilers, I didn't think it was a particularly special story.)

We’ll see, I’m certainly not cheering against it. I felt way worse about Strange World going into it, but the company has a really bad history with animated sci fi.
