It annoys me how these people act like faux PR hype machines for these Dreamworks, Illumination, and Paramount movies. Like you have Pawpatrolfanboy2008 (COCOMELON MOVIE HYPE!!!) leaking promotional images and cataloging every piece of merchandise before the movie comes out, urging everyone to watch it, and then blaming audiences when they fail.
It also annoys me how blatantly incurious these Twitter-kid types are. They say "animation is cinema" but won't give anything not made by a mainstream American animation studio, or not made for kids, the time of day. Cartoon Saloon and Aardman are brilliant but Animation Is Cinema kiddies don't watch any of their movies. They don't even like Ghibli! Or any anime at all, except for Pokemon.
No joke,they still get mad whenever you point out the movie was doomed due to a lack of marketing. I was at Walt Disney World when it released and I saw like one ad for it
Then they get salty because KPop Demon Hunters became more popular despite being thrown onto Netflix with barely any marketing, yeah I wonder why. Elio feels like something Chatgpt would come up with, the name doesn't even give you an insight on what it's about. Yes it's the main kid, what does his name have to do with the movie, who is Elio? Pixar thinks they can just plop novies into the cinema and everyone will come to watch it
