FlixChatter Review: ELEMENTAL (2023) – Pixar’s first rom-com proves that a tale as old as time can still spark when told in a refreshingly creative way

After its debut with Toy Story in 1995, Pixar released its 27th feature with another original story.

FlixChatter Review – COCO (2017)

Directed By: Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina Written By: Lee Unkrich, Jason Katz , Matthew Aldrich & Adrian Molina Runtime: 1h 49min Before I get into this review, I want to address one of the main arguments I’ve heard about it: that Coco is a rip-off of DreamWorks’s 2013 film The Book of Life. I don’t think …
