Elio: Pixars New Intergalactic Adventure Coming to Theaters This June
Pixar, the legendary animation studio, is back with a new film that promises to take viewers on an intergalactic adventure. "Elio," directed by Adrian Molina ("Coco"), Madeline Sharafian ("Burrow"), and "Turning Red" director Domee Shi, is a coming-of-age adventure film about an eccentric young boy whose dream of getting abducted by aliens comes true.
The film's protagonist, Elio, is a 11-year-old misfit who is obsessed with space and aliens. His wish to be abducted from Earth is granted when he is beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization comprised of representatives from all across the galaxy. As the incorrectly labeled Earth's leader, Elio is tasked with navigating an intergalactic crisis and forging bonds with some of the alien lifeforms he meets in the Communiverse. The film explores Elio's journey to find out who he really is and where he truly belongs.
The voice cast for "Elio" features a few recognizable names, led by Yonas Kibreab ("Sweet Tooth"), who voices the movie's eponymous young hero. Kibreab is joined in the film by recent Oscar winner Zoe Saldaña ("Guardians of the Galaxy"), Remy Edgerly ("T.O.T.S."), Brad Garrett ("Everybody Loves Raymond"), Jameela Jamil ("The Good Place"), Shirley Henderson ("Dept. Q"), Atsuko Okatsuka ("Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"), and Brendan Hunt ("Ted Lasso").
While "Elio" is currently a theatrical release, it will eventually become available to stream on demand and on Disney+. The trailer for the film can be watched on TheWrap's website or on YouTube, giving viewers a glimpse into the film's intergalactic setting and Elio's journey to find his place in the universe.
In conclusion, "Elio" is a must-see for fans of Pixar and intergalactic adventures. With a talented voice cast and a unique storyline, this film promises to be a thrilling and heartwarming experience for all ages. So mark your calendars and get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure when "Elio" premieres in movie theaters on Friday, June 20.
