Just ahead of the release of the new Pixar Animation Studios latest movie, “Elio”, Disney hosted a special world premiere at the Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre.

The stars, filmmakers and special guests including Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly, Brad Garrett, Jameela Jamil, Dylan Gilmer, Jake Getman, Naomi Watanabe, Brendan Hunt, Anissa Borrego and Shelby Young, as well as filmmakers Madeline Sharafian (directed by/story by), Domee Shi (directed by/story by), Mary Alice Drumm (produced by) and Rob Simonsen (music by), were in attendance.

For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers—in Disney and Pixar’s all-new feature film “Elio,” the universe calls back! When Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession, is beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, he’s all in for the epic undertaking. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the rest of the universe, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be.

Check out these photos from the world premiere:

Directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi and Adrian Molina, and produced by Mary Alice Drumm, the film features the voices of Yonas Kibreab as Elio, Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brandon Moon as Ambassador Helix, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as Ooooo. The voice cast also includes Dylan Gilmer, Jake Getman, Matthias Schweighöfer, Atsuko Okatsuka, Ana de la Reguera, Naomi Watanabe, Brendan Hunt andAnissa Borrego.
