The first words on ELEMENTAL are back, and it’s getting good reviews on both sides of the Rotten Tomatoes matrix. …Good God, how did we get to this place? How is it that Pixar now has to greet movie release dates with white-knuckled hands?
Those are both rhetorical questions.
I want to like ELIO. I just don’t quite dare. Pixar is not what it once was.
I’m not sure ELEMENTAL is a Pixar film, though. It doesn’t LOOK particularly emotionally manipulative. Well, maybe that’ll show up later in the film.
Okay, okay: LUCA doesn’t look at all like horror, honestly. But I do wonder what Pixar could do with some old school cosmic terror. It’d sort of be like… Dark Pixar.
…Dark Pixar would be kind of scary, huh?
Short version: ehh, just another goddamn spectacular Pixar movie.

Yeah, I’m not exactly certain how this is supposed to work.

Seriously, though, it’s looking pretty good. I dunno if they’re gonna be able to collect lightning in a bottle the second time, too, but Incredibles 2 should be entertaining. Out on June 15th, so we’ll see then.
Seriously. That’s literally what Polygon called it.
Monsters University director Dan Scanlan is bringing one of his most personal stories to the big screen with Pixar’s next untitled film.
The movie is set in a world of “suburban fantasy.” We weren’t show much, but a title card displayed a small town’s skyline, complete with street lamps and a water-tower. There also happened to be a dragon flying off in the distance. Scanlan’s movie will include unicorns, dragons and a plethora of other beasts that are considered pests to other, ordinary folk — like centaurs, trolls and sprites.
…Yeah, just let me know when that’s out so I can get my seat, Pixar. The odds of me not seeing this movie are low. Very, very low.
