My family and I watched ELIO for the first time last night and loved it! It has been awhile since we all agreed that an animated movie was fun and that we would all want to watch it again.  The story line of this family-friendly movie is simple to follow and it keeps you watching from start to finish.  I have found over the years that Disney and Pixar have turned out movies just to stay relevant and that many of their movies have been misses with one or all of my family members, but not ELIO. This sweet animated movie will definitely make you feel happy and have you cheering on ELIO all throughout the film. 

When we were done watching the movie, we couldn't wait to check out all the bonus content available, which included deleted scenes, a gag reel, Q&A with voice actors and so much more. I really enjoyed all the bonus content, especially the gag reel which had my whole family and I laughing until we were tearing up.  What a way to spend quality time together during the summer -- enjoying time with family while watching a wholesome and fun movie.  Like I said, we can't wait to watch ELIO again, and I have already pre-ordered a Blu-ray copy of this movie for when it arrives in stores on Sept. 9th, so that we can add it to our family's movie collection.  If you are looking for a great movie to end your summer with, I highly recommend you check out ELIO.  You will not be disappointed!
