When these people complain about marketing genuinely speaking what are they referring to ,that the trailer isn't being shown on every network channel 24/7 ,having merch being sold in every local store ,a shitty tie in video game ,a fucking happy meal toy like what the fuck are they talking about

Even then Elio has all these things except the video game. LMAO

What this seems to me is animation YouTubers making a self-fulfilling prophecy. Especially for clicks. They want the narrative it failed. Despite it now being two weeks, too early to call it a failure.

When somebody tries to called them out on their hypocritical bullshit, they play victims and paint it as "harassment" and continued their crap as usual.

I've encountered people like this, too many times, and it's frustrating.

I whole heartedly agree. They're not making the effort to see Elio. Literally, they have no one to blame but themselves on this topic.

There some stuff like the lack of enthusiasm for new films even when they come from new corporations or Trump’s popularity that many want to place all of the blame on the “elites” or people in power but in the end for those things happen they do have to have much support on the average person.

While I agree about the marketing to an extent, especially in comparison to the live action Lilo and Stitch, at some point it feels like animation YouTubers are rooting for a film to fail

and what's worst? They believe Elio cost $300 Million, but in actuality, it's $150 Million to make

I am honestly dumbfounded.

This lack of self-reflection gives fuel to the false narrative that Disney killed Elio on purpose. A narrative that only stupid people believe.

People STILL say this about Treasure Planet when it's simply not true. You don't pour 100s of millions of dollars into a movie to kill it on purpose.

The fact people think Disney killed Atlantis despite the fact that they had park rides planned ,a TV show and a crossover with one of their biggest shows at the time Gargoyles all planned and ready cause they were confident the film would do gangbusters just shows you win some and you lose some

To this day I wish they would acknowledge Atlantis again. It definitely deserved more success than Chicken Little.

"They released Elio in summer so it'd flop and make Lilo & Stitch more of a hit." What?

Pixar movies usually come out in mid June. Where is this fucking mindset coming from? Are Animation Fans suffering from brainrot so badly they can't have rational thoughts anymore? What are we doing here?

thereyofwater.bsky.social•1 day ago

If Animation YouTubers think a movie is undermarketed, why not encourage your large audience to see it? Oh right, cause that would mean being positive about Pixar and that doesn't get as many clicks as the umpteenth "IS PIXAR IN TROUBLE?!" video that complains about how Pixar "only makes sequels."

thereyofwater.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Disney didn't market it."

No they did. Just you didn't put effort into seeing it. It's out in theaters right now and probably gonna be in theaters all summer. But you're not gonna see but you're gonna see Superman opening weekend to overcome FOMO right?

Miss me with this bullshit.
