Elio is one of Pixar’s most highly anticipated movies in recent memory, and the promise of horror references makes me more confident than ever that it’ll be the studio’s best original project in almost a decade. After the success of Inside Out in 2015, Pixar has tried hard to find its next big original hit, but nothing has matched the film’s success. The lack of relatable and memorable stories has left the studio on a bit of a cold streak; however, Inside Out 2‘s incredible box office performance is encouraging for Elio, as are the horror comments from its director.
