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.
