So, when he's beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, Elio's all in for the epic undertaking.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The astringent sting and needle-sharp perceptiveness of, say, Inside Out or The Incredibles is missing. Still, it’s a marked improvement on the recent quality lull of Elemental and the barely watchable Lightyear. Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail The animation is charming, as one would expect from a Pixar production, and the characters are likeable enough to spawn off merch. The swell of music at appropriate times keeps you hooked into the action and emotions. Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Visually, it's really fun to watch. Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Disney can’t stop orphaning its young protagonists, but there's a positive message about family and honesty. There’s also a scene that recalls 'Hackers' in which ham radio fans from around the world tag in and lend a hand to guide the heroes to victory. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial It's a nice, entertaining film, with moments of humor and other more emotional ones. However, it won't be memorable in the future because it doesn't take many risks, but rather treads firmly to convince. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Oct 6, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider We’re long past prime Pixar. Accept that fact, and you’ll enjoy Elio more. Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

I watched it in Spanish thinking it would have English subtitles but it was okay since my friend spoke Spanish. If that's something that could be changed that would be great.
