It’s been almost a week since Vice-versa 2 was released in cinemas. With this new film d’animation, Pixar struck a blow again. Since June 19, fans have had time to spot many easter-eggs, but one of them obviously escaped them. And he refers to Eliothe next film you studio.
vice-versa 2 is a hit in France and internationally
Highly anticipated after the success of its predecessor, Vice-versa 2 was a big success upon its release. This is initially critical, with very positive opinions from the press and the public. But, unlike a certain Furiosa: A Mad Max saga, it is also a hit at the box office. In France, this is quite simply the best start of the year 2024. In five days, the latest baby from the Pixar studio attracted 1.7 million admissions, including 229,000 previews. It is also the sixth best start of all time for an animated film in France.
In total, Vice-Versa 2 has already generated more than 725 million dollars worldwide, including 325 million in the United States alone. To compare, Dune: Part Two generated “only” $711 million at the box office during its entire run. But despite the large number of people who came to cinemas, an easter egg seems to have gone unnoticed. And it’s Pixar’s production designer who says it.
when pixar teases its film elio
It’s a well-established habit at Pixar: with each new animated film, piles of easter eggs, references and other winks are slipped everywhere. They are generally numerous and visual, but not all are easy to see at first glance. Moreover, on social networks, no one seems to have noticed the reference to Eliothe next film from Pixar studio, in the scene where Riley makes fun of the music group she listens to and sarcasm is the emotion highlighted. Many spheres are visible there, each containing memories of the young girl. And in one of them is Elio, according to Pixar production designer Jason Deamer.
This revelation is not surprising, when we know that Pixar systematically hides references to its other productions in its films, and often teases the next one. As a reminder, Elio will tell the story of a young boy projected into Communiverse, an interplanetary organization composed of representatives from very distant galaxies. Communiverse, an interplanetary organization composed of representatives from very distant galaxies. He will then be taken for the ambassador of the Earth, despite himself. Initially planned for this year, the animated film will ultimately not be released until June 2025.
