What stands out most about #Elio is its remarkable world-building and the protagonist’s motivation, as he searches for his purpose and place of belonging. An original idea that, in an era of sequels, feels necessary and will appeal to both adults and children. pic.twitter.com/xiDfQS1FMc

Pixar’s #Elio is a WONDROUS, whimsical, and wildly heartfelt adventure that beautifully explores the black hole of loneliness and the light of finding your people. Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldaña, and Brad Garrett bring so much warmth and charm to a story that soars across the stars. pic.twitter.com/RXU3ZTUQXo

Elio is super cute! The themes of wanting to find a place in the universe where you are accepted and appreciated are extremely relatable. As with most Pixar movies, I am not afraid to admit I shed a tear or two. Elio is adorable but Glordon steals the show! See it in 3D! #Elio pic.twitter.com/yKWqs5luQE

#Elio is a cosmic coming-of-age story packed with heart, color, and imagination. A vibrant tale about not fitting in — and why that might be your greatest strength. Warm, weird, and wonderfully original — a truly out-of-this-world Pixar adventure! pic.twitter.com/bHQZkeZJAu
