No, no. Elio has two fully credited directors at the start of the credits. It's not a Wonder Park thing. It's only the original director who's not given top billing (unlike Brenda Chapman on Brave).

Ah, more like Jan Pinkava on Ratatouille? He was listed, but in the scroll I think.

Right. I was just about to post this excerpt from Cartoon Brew:
All three directors get credit for the final film, though Molina’s credit is not placed upfront alongside Sharafian and Shi and appears later in the credits crawl.

I went to see if on Tuesday. For some weird reason I was looking forward to it, and I came out happy. I do think that the emotional point where Elio shares the logic behind his motivation is placed in a moment of the movie where it doesn't punch your heartstrings that bad. I think that if was moved further into the movie, it would have made it better. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot, and I would say it's in the middle of my Pixar movies ranking.

Important context question, then: what’s your first and last Pixar offerings…?
