It is forest, but it does not look like Pixar's "Elio" will be another "elemental" and will surprise everyone with a shocking running at the box office. No, "Elio" is a flopWhat stinks because the film is actually pretty fun. It has great designs for aliens, a fun story and a designed quote on Carl Sagan, which will make you quite emotional about the capabilities and power of science, and also just reminds you of one of the most fascinating minds to take this planet in the last century.

Of course, it is easily (and not unfair) to blame marketing For Elio's failure at the box office, combined with a competition of other higher profile films. However, that does not change the fact that this was simply not the best of Pixar. Moreover, reports have the surface that the film has suffered much behind the scenes, subjected to creative changes that have resulted in a very different film that hits theaters from the one who imagined the creator of the project and the original director.

Article of Hollywood reporter He highlights the series of changes made in the film and her story, starting from deleting his queer elements to the Latino play of the film, all, but removed. This is also what led to the voice of actor America Ferrera and director Adrian Molina to leave the project and read the report, it is difficult not to be furious than how Pixar ruined what could have been a very special movie (by turning it into the one)

According to the report, Elio (Yonas Kibrab) was originally coded with queer and aims to reflect the fact that Molina is the open -minded Open. Although sources say Molina did not foresee the film as a story of going out because Elio was only 11 years old, there were still moments that clearly hinted at the sexuality of the character.

For example, the report mentions a string shown to Pixar's staff two years ago in which Elio "collected trash on the beach and turned it into a home -made clothing that included a top pink tank," as well as a scene that reveals that Elio's bedroom was decorated with paintings "suggesting a male". As a former Pixar artist said to TR, "it was quite clear through the production of the first version of the film that (studio leaders) had repeatedly sprayed these moments in the film that alluded to Elio's sexuality to be a queer."

Unfortunately, increased feedback from Pixar's leadership has led Ellio to become a more common male instead, with the report citing early showing the test in which viewers said they liked the film, but did not feel a strong desire to see him in the theater. This is not a problem specific to any film, nor; Instead, it's a bigger question that Disney helped to create (with Disney CEO Bob Iger admitted that Sending Pixar's selected movies directly to streaming was a terrible idea). Soon after the test project, along with a special screening for Pixar's leadership, Molina released the project, and the film was processed under its new co-directors Madeleine Sharafian and Domi Shi.

"I was deeply sad and damaged by the changes made," former Pixar aide Sarah Ligatic, who is part of Pixpride's internal LGBTK group, told TR. "The output of the talent after that reduction was really indicative of how unhappy many people who changed and destroyed this wonderful thing."

In addition to deleting queer, there is something else missing from the final film - Latino's identity of Elio Solis. Given Molina's background and Elio's voice, someone naturally expected the film's main characters to be Latino will play a key role in the story. Instead, this is not the case with the film, which feels like a very missed opportunity.

Indeed, when Ellio was first released in 2022, Ferrera took over the stage of Disney D23 fans' event to describe her role as Olga, the mother of Elio. But in the last film, Zoe Saldaya plays Olga, now Elio's aunt. According to Thr, sources in Pixar say Ferrera has already filmed a dialogue for her role, but she came out after Molina's departure. Specifically, a former source of Pixar said: "America was upset that there was no longer the Latix presentation in the leadership." What, yes, it should be. You don't just name your main character Elio Sali, recruit Latin voice and include a parental figure working in the army for no reason.

These two major changes are stripped of "Elio" that the final film is felt by identity. As it stands, the audience was having fun, but an unnoticeable movie, a summer blink of Pixar, which - as reportedly, the audience for testing screening, reportedly said - you really didn't It is necessary to see in the theater.

Of course, the deletion of Queer at Elio is not completely new. Only last year, it appeared to the light that Pixar Disney+ Series "Win or Lose" Rejected transgender story by order of higher regulations in the studio. If Pixar is to save a person, restore audience confidence and enjoy success with something other than sequels, then he should begin to allow his creatives, well, well, Create Instead of robbing their art from the things that make it important.

"Elio" now plays in cinemas.
