Is there life beyond Earth? Journey to the cinema to find out in Pixar's latest and first Sci-Fi adventure: Elio. Elio is a young boy, who having recently lost his parents goes to live with his aunt. Unable to find a place to belong in his new life, Elio looks to space to find his place. Pixar is known for it's touching animated features and shorts, which often tackle complex emotions. Their films are aimed at viewers of all ages, which tends to result in life-long fans. We have seen Pixar bring to life; toys, cars, bugs and fish, now they've turned their unique creative powers to aliens, in a refreshingly original feature: Elio. So does Elio make contact with outer-space and steal our hearts in the process or does it fail to launch? Read on for my full review. Elio (Jonas Kibreab) is a lonely kid, who feels like a inconvenience to his aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña) and an outsider on Earth.

Ever since they announced a live action Mulan movie I have been excited!! Mulan (1998) was after all the first film I ever saw at the cinema and I remember watching it and loving it. I still love Mulan now, it has some of the best scenes/songs and characters (Mushu) and Mulan is one of the most unique Disney Princesses!! And we finally have a trailer for the live action version which is set for release in 2020!! I had so many thoughts whilst watching the trailer that I decided to quickly write a few of them up. This is only the second time I have done a trailer reaction, so I hope you like it!! Please let me know what you think of the trailer and my thoughts in the comments below.
Strong open with Mulan riding Khan! Wonder where she is going?
Ooh, where's that? Is the village inside those round buildings because that is so cool!!
I can already tell this is going to be such a visual film! Look at all the colour and the lanterns and the cool buildings!
Ugh her parents have found here a match. I hate the matchmaker idea but the scene in the original is so funny - I hope they do it the same with the Cricket and the ink.
Wait does Mulan have a sister?!?! This is just crazy - I need more information.
One minute though where is the nan? She better not be dead. (Ooh maybe she's already an ancestor and she wakes Mushu).
I think we can all agree that Liu Yifei is the perfect Mulan.
Of course she's going to bring HONOUR to her family, she's MULAN.
The costumes look amazing, and how perfect does that garden shot look? Just imagine Mulan singing Reflection into the pond. So perfect...oh wait thats right no songs (I'm crying inside).
I love the juxtaposition of Mulan getting ready for the matchmaker and getting ready to fight in the army. That is really awesome editing.
Okay so that shot of her spinning into the purple dress is visually great. Hopefully the movie will be fully of interesting shots.
Look at that army camp! It looks the same as the animated one.
She's fighting with her hair down - does that mean she doesn't have to disguise herself as a man? - I'm not sure how I feel about this.
This looks EPIC.
Yes Girl! Mulan has some crazy sword skills.
Something makes me think this version is going to be very different to the animated one.
Okay so no Mushu, Nan or Cricket in this trailer which is upsetting. I really hope they will be in the film.
Also, the end of that trailer would have been the perfect moment for a few seconds of singing...but there's not going to be songs (I'm still crying).
Okay so what a Trailer!! It certainly looks like we are in for a very different version of Mulan and I am not sure how I feel about that. However, I think this film has huge visual potential I mean just look at the sets and the costumes, the colours and the camera angles. I certainly think we are in for a treat! Plus, I cannot wait for all the Mulan themed stuff in the Disney store. 2020 might also be the perfect year for another Disneyland trip if they go all out Mulan!!
