Elio (Pixar - June 2025)

[DisneyWarrior27]

Pixar adds in additional costs to their films that other studios don't such as administrative costs for running the studio.

So yeah it could be that high, or even higher. Disney and Pixar are notorious for having high budgets, so I don't know why you think its hard to believe that they can have over a $200M film.

Because, aside from maybe Coco (which cost anywhere from $175M to $225M), they never have had a film over $200M.

Elemental cost $200M just 2 years ago, and so did Lightyear 3 year ago.

As a matter of fact, I believe on average most of their films in the last 15 years have been $200M. So the point is that just because most of their films have been about $200M doesn't mean they can't go over that.

Yeah.

EXACTLY $200M, not OVER $200M.

 

[Disney Irish]

Yeah.

EXACTLY $200M, not OVER $200M.

You missed my quick edit....

So the point is that just because most of their films have been about $200M doesn't mean they can't go over that. Basically at this point consider $200M the floor of how much they'd spend, not the ceiling.

Well hopefully it cost that much and no higher than that.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

What part of that does your deaf, thick-skinned, r*tarded not listen to?

Seriously, @TsWade2 , STOP.

Take your own advice. You are not being cool tonight.

 

[Phroobar]

Well Elio was supposed to come out last year before Inside Out 2. It was delayed for script rewrites and you can see that changes for better in the trailers. That delay added to the budget.

Then again, my favourite of their most recent films was Luca and I get the impression that is often dismissed as one of their more disposable films on here.

If I had to pick a favorite Pixar movie from this decade so far, it would be Luca

(have not seen Lightyear or Elemental)

I'd chose Coco as my favorite from this pass decade.

Luca was really good but my favorites are the 2 inside out movies. They’re all good though with the exception of lightyear.

I meant from 2020-present

In that case, I would chose Onward. I know. I'm weird.

You’re not weird. Onward was a great movie.

 

[Phroobar]

You’re not weird. Onward was a great movie.

It's the only recent Pixar movie I own on Blu-ray. I really should pick up Coco.

This is never a good sign.

 

[DisneyWarrior27]

This is never a good sign.

From your point of view.

 

[Sir_Cliff]

This is never a good sign.

Eh, Ratatouille had a change of director and was significantly reworked and I think that's one of Pixar's best.

Ok I’ll change what I said.

This is rarely a good sign.

 

[Nevermore525]

Brad Bird also stepped in only a few months into the story development for Ratatouille. Don’t think they had even started any actual production on Ratatouille at that point.

This is more like a Good Dinosaur change.
