TL2025moviewatch - Elio

 

“Are we alone in the universe?”
 
Yet again, Pixar took something familiar (as in that scientific question) and then, inject emotions and meaning to it. And boom, another hit by Pixar.
 
Honestly, this gonna be one of the shortest review by me because I am just blown away by the good story telling.
 
I won’t say much but go and enjoy the ride. Emotional ride, that is.
 
8.5/10, largely because of the storyline.

TL2025moviewatch : HTTYD2025



Following the Disney’s recent route of turning animated classic into live-action, HTTYD manages to capture the charm of its animated movie while offering a beautiful interpretation of its live-action world
Plot doesn’t moved far away from its animated reference, but the live-action version still manages to built its own uniqueness and charm through the actors. You can’t have a movie without the awesome Gerard Butler (who played Stoick in both versions) who did brilliantly here. You can say the casting for the characters were on point, like Hiccup.

Dragons were animated well here, I guess they try to make it not too scary while keeping it close to the animated ones.. especially Toothless, who does look as though it jump straight from animated version, but seriously, you can’t go far or change much from its look... or else, the fans will revolt..

Family-friendly movie. So it’s another 7.5/10 from me
