Pixar's 'Elio' has so much promise to be a fun intergalactic kids' movie. But it follows the same formula of past Pixar movies and plays it too safe.

The animation company's latest involves a lonely boy, his alien bestie, the need for communication over carnage and the saving graces of finding a friend. At least it's not 'Cars'

Zoe Saldaña and Brad Garrett are among the voice cast for the animated feature about a young boy who, feeling out of place on Earth, dreams of getting abducted by aliens.
