Good catch! I think the premise shown in the first one seems more interesting to me, but obviously the powers that be have actually seen the movie so they're more informed. Interesting stuff.
Hopefully, they dropped the gag from the first trailer in which an alien says they ate their mother.
Not in a children's film, please.

I also hope they keep the crude humor contained to the intergalactic bathroom scene.
Again, keep that type of humor for animated films like Shrek.

There's something about it that I can't put my finger on. It doesn't scream Disney or Pixar to me, and I have no idea why.
If you told me this was Dreamworks, I would believe it. But at the same time, the art looks very similar to Lightyear; like if you told me they were in the same universe, I would believe it.
Looking back, WALL-E was beautiful to look at in the trailer and movie. I'm just not excited for this movie. Again, I don't know why! I should be because this is an original story, which I desperately wanted Disney to continue this trend. Something about the story?
Look at Iron Giant; I feel like based on the trailer they're going for that route. A human befriending an alien that looks scary. I could be wrong because the trailer keeps changing, and I keep reading different synopses of the story. But I feel like Iron Giant is just God-tier level, and this movie is just more meh in comparison.
Also, I am nervous that there are three directors on this project. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHY!
Should I re-watch Iron Giant?

The movie was supposed to come out last year before Inside Out but was delayed for rewrites because of Light year's failure.
Always rewatch Iron Giant.

It won’t do bad if it’s a good movie, dude.
I'm no fan of Cal-Arts bean mouth. But beyond that the visuals and story look good to me. Hoping it does well. I'm going to go see it.

He’s saying the adverb should be “badly” rather than “bad”.

Just like how people showed up for World War Z instead of Monsters University in 2013 or how families chose to rather see The Flash instead of Elemental back in 2023.
Oh wait…
Neither happened.
As long as the movie gets strong reviews and a bit more marketing come next month with one final push via one more trailer for the movie playing with live-action Lilo & Stitch, Elio WILL NOT BOMB.
Watch me be right about that.
Watch me.

If it’s too much shot for shot like The Lion King was and drops as much as that film did in its second weekend because audiences are annoyed by that (60%), Pixar’s Elio, with better word of mouth and the luck of having IMAX screens taken away from HTTYD, after that film’s weekend, to itself for one week before F1 comes out, will open to #1 and beat that movie.
Just wait. That’s gonna be the outcome and you’ll be sorry you ever doubted Elio’s chances. You’ll see.
You’ll see.
I still know a winner for Disney at the box office when I see one.
And that’s what I’m gonna see in Elio where I didn’t see that in Cap 4 or Snow White.

You don’t see me doing that with Cap 4 and 2025 Snow White.
Says the person who was posting meme’s of Sonic stomping on Mufasa…. But when Mufasa overtook Sonic…. Crickets

I don’t why you’re so confident in how to train your dragon. It’s not like it’s some big franchise that sends a wave around the world whenever there’s a new installment. And I don’t even know what 28 days later is but it doesn’t sound like it’s targeting remotely the same Audience.

And what do you do when a Disney movie is successful or rated positively? You start talking about bots or something.
