Pixar Animation Studios released the first full trailer and a new poster for their next feature, “Elio,” coming to theaters on June 20.
“Elio” Trailer
Here’s the description accompanying the new trailer:
This summer, moviegoers will meet Elio, an 11-year-old whose biggest wish is to get abducted by aliens, as well as his Aunt Olga (voiced by recent Academy Award Winner, Zoe Saldaña), 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 and [sic] a host of out-of-this world creatures who just might help him figure out exactly where he belongs. A new trailer and poster are now available for Disney and Pixar’s “Elio,” which releases only in theaters June 20, 2025.
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. 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”), the film features the voices of Yonas Kibreab as Elio, Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as OOOOO.
“Elio” has seen multiple delays, having originally been scheduled for release on March 1, 2024. The first teaser trailer and poster were released in 2023. Another teaser and poster were released last fall.
Pixar has struggled to find their footing since 2020 but hit gold last summer when “Inside Out 2” became the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Though the studio is reportedly leaning towards sequels and spin-offs in the future, “Elio” is an original story.
