Disney has released the trailer for the upcoming Pixar movie, “Elio”, which tells the story of an 11-year-old whose biggest wish is to get abducted by aliens, as well as his Aunt Olga and Glordon, Elio’s unexpected first friend who happens to be an alien.

In this big-screen adventure, Elio will travel millions of miles across the universe, encountering a host of out-of-this-world creatures who just might help him figure out exactly where he belongs.

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! The cosmic misadventure introduces Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession. So, when he’s beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, Elio’s all in for the epic undertaking. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s leader, 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 the “Elio” trailer below:

“Elio” stars Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldaña and Remy Edgerly.  The film also features the voices of Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as OOOOO.

It has been directed by Madeline Sharafian (“Burrow” Sparkshort), Domee Shi (“Bao” short, “Turning Red”) and Adrian Molina (co-screenwriter/co-director of “Coco”), and produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of “Coco”).

Originally, “Elio” was scheduled to come to cinemas early last year, but Disney decided to delay the film to spend more time developing it, making changes to the story and cast.

Disney and Pixar’s “Elio” will be coming to cinemas on June 20th, 2025, and it will be coming to Disney+ later in the year.
