WARNING: This article talks spoilers for "Elio".

You never know what surprises you might be with any given Pixar movie. The famous animation studio has built its inheritance on every possible concept outside the Wallid you could think of, from talking toys, using many of us through adolescence to robots finding a Loveub in the post-apocalyptic world to anthropomorphic rats that can not be reminded. To say obvious, it's not that Only Those creative terrain that turned Pixar's appropriate films into such main households. The studio's "Elio" is a perfect example On how any smart selection of storytelling, every fully realized character and every harbox homage can add something even more than the sum of its parts.

Like many other films by Pixar, "Elio" is packed on gills with Easter eggs and references just waiting to notice audiences. Children, of course, will be deleted from the kaleidoscope of color and episodic excitement throughout the film. But adults will almost certainly notice all the inspirations and influences that co-directors Madeleine Sharafian, Dome Shi and Adrian Molina proudly wear on her sleeves. As "Wall-E" nodded to "2001: Space Odyssey" or "Toy Story 2", a shot from "Jurassic Park", The creative team behind Elio cited classics such as "ET Extra-Terristal" and even "something" as influences. However, more than that, this space adventure also takes its indications of the most difficult franchise of science there, "Star Trek", in a way that works on multiple levels.

"Elio" begins at the Museum of Air and Space, where our image of the title is entered into an exhibition of a deep space probe, which NASA began in the late 1970s. This helps the deep and constant passion of Kickstart Elio to discover whether humanity is truly alone in the universe. But viewers with an eagle (or should they be with an eagle?) Viewers can notice something familiar about voice recording Elio, hears a wax poetry about finding life among the "distant worlds" in space. As it turns out, no one could have been more suitable for the task than The captain of the USS Voyager herself: Actor Kate Mulgru.

Pixar's well -established history to engage classics's respects of years spent It continues in "Elio", though not in some way we might have expected. The film does not take place on this detail in the early walk, but says Thomas that the creative team went out to recruit Kate Mulgru, who gloriously showed Hedstrog's captain, Catherine Janevey, in the series "Star Trek: Voyager" during the 90th and early 2000. First and most obviously, this voice casting feels like winking and snacking to the name of the show, the most modern Hipwel Stars Voyager and the habitually accepted fact that he got the name after the voyager-role that plays such a big role in "Elio". But most importantly, there is something special about Mulgru, specifically being a messenger behind such a humanistic, celebration and theme-centered theme.

"Elio" is a movie everything about our deep rooted need for a relationship, acceptance and understand what our home is really, what a better relationship to draw from the Star Trek show What about all those ideas at once? Voyager may not be remembered as the most beloved series in The franchise "Star Trek" (and for good reason, of course)But no one can deny thematic parallels with a play that has a captured team desperately trying to return to the country at all costs. And at every turn, at the very center of Voyager, Mulgru's dedicated performance, as Ewenevey kept the series together through a pure Will of Will. Treates know that under that heavy exterior, the captain's altruistic heart provided those typical "Star Trek" ideals for us to strive for ... Give or take the controversial decision related to Tuvix or two of the "Voyager".

Contrary to Elio's dreamer to escape stars, it's good, it's fun to imagine his late parents encourage his Loveube to space through the old "Star Trek" The recently canceled animated series "Prodigy", in which Mulgray reproduced her role as Eweneva. In any case, it is appropriate kimo in a film that is obviously made of space anxiety like us.

"Elio" now plays in cinemas.
