Elliot de la Tierra

This show is made by Cartoon Network Europe, just like The Amazing World of Gumball, and shares a similar animation style with it. It's like if you took out all the other animation styles in Gumball and left only the 2D flash portion, which still looks spectacular.

Everything about Elliott from Earth is so cinematic. From the theme music, to the sparkly, vibrant animation. It even has a story arc, meaning that you get to watch all the episodes together like a movie. There's still some self-contained episodes to balance it out, so it doesn't get too serious.

I love the relationship between Elliott and his mom Frankie. They have similar struggles with trying to please people and forge friendships, due to them moving a lot. And now that they're in space with a bunch of wacky-looking aliens who are as every bit as eccentric as them, they finally feel at home.

CN US did this show dirty. They burned it off over like 2 weeks so that the season finale aired too soon. Man. Hopefully it comes to HBO Max and finds a mainstream audience there.

Ok so to start off, this show has a FANTASTIC story, its engaging and brings many questions to the viewer, and the show did seem pretty promising in the first few episodes. Unfortunately whenever the show isnt focusing on the story (which is around 60% of the show by the way) its lame as heck. Its literally just a watered down gumball clone with less self awareness to it. The comedy can be pretty good sometimes and it has some clever concepts. Although mo is a pretty annoying character, when he was first introduced he seemed to be a passable character with his own character traits and personality, but he quickly became the horrible comic relief i was hoping he wouldnt be. Honestly i feel like this show could have been good as long as they just focused entirely on the story and not the filler, but as it stands its overall a pretty mixed bag.

This show just has so much potential. And the writers seem to be doing their best so far. It kinda reminds me of Gravity Falls and the mysteries here are so well handled. Keep up!

I love this show already! It almost feels as if Cartoon Network tapped right into my head and turned 90% of my personal fantasies into an animated show.

Elliott from earth is the second full series from Cartoon Network Studios Europe (now being rebraned as Hanna Barbera studios Europe) a foreign division of CN whose 1st animated series The amazing world of Gumball became such a big hit for the network I was excited when in 2018 they began production on another series called Elliott from Earth. Years later and it's finally here and I've been enjoying the series so far, the four part Wednesday is a neat introduction to who the 3 main characters are, Elliott & his mother Frankie have been moving around a lot since Frankie's theory of a mysterious rock she found is believed to be evidence of alien activity got her laughed out of field of science though she is determined to prove her theory right, Elliott is a good mannered boy whose feeling a little lonely since due to moving a lot he doesn't have the time to make lasting friendships. This all changed however when they activate the rock causing them to teleport through space on to the centrium, where they meet Mo a Dinosaur. What I like about Mo is when they meet him he really doesn't know much of anything and he asks questions about real basic stuff. This show can have such a soft gentle tone sometimes it's great. After making a home on the centrium the show goes into a more episodic approach exploring the cast of aliens and cool futuristic design of world around them. Some of my favorite episodes so far are: problematic prophecies: Nara is a interesting character who temporarily gave Elliott & Mo the power of future sight. Parallel Paradox: It's just really funny. And Melancholic Megalomaniac: LORD KALLOUS is such an interesting character, once a space tyrant now seeks redemption as a school teacher. Also the animation and colors of this show are amazing, nearly every episode has the characters with types of shading and lighting that you'd normally wouldn't see in other shows. Over all I'm looking forward to more of this series!
