"ELA in Love at First Byte, is a hilarious mish-mash of retro sci-fi kitsch wrapped up in an unlikely intergalactic love story. I love the ThunderCats references, including the infamous horn crescendo as the first scene opens. Man, that brings back memories, as does Sid Whatley’s cottony voiceover work and Pull’s synth-heavy soundtrack. Classic."

"This bizarre short film (...) combines the video game come to life graphics of Tron with a mighty sword wielding babe out of Heavy Metal - It’s She-Ra vs Max Headroom set to a futuristic Itallo synthesizer soundtrack - yes it is as awesome as that sounds!!!"
-Eightiesblog.com
"Sword wielding chick in underwear, meets pixelated space invaders, meets Tron CGI, meets 80’s cartoons, meets awesome electronic soundtrack and a bewildering storyline. Whats not to like."
-Gavmack.co.uk
“Jovial mixtures of heroicomics! Smart praise for the vintage pixel art covering range from Space invader to Tron! This film is successful both in fusing entertaining cultures and in compositing layers technically. Pepper Melon made minutely-refined Kitsch.”

"Co-director Fernando Sarmiento descibes ELA (...) to me as, “A weird mix between She Ra, Tron and Flash Gordon.” It also happens to be a fun and graphically appealing piece of computer animation combined with live actors!!"
