Following the success of Vice Versa 2, which quickly established itself as the highest-grossing animated film of all time with $1.69 billion worldwide, Pixar Studios has released the first images of its new original film: Elio.
Directed by Adrian Molina, screenwriter and co-director of Coco, the feature film tells the story of Elio, a boy with a vivid imagination who is obsessed with aliens.
A young boy inadvertently finds himself teleported into the Communiverse, an interplanetary paradise inhabited by intelligent life forms from the most distant galaxies.
Mistaken as an ambassador for Earth by this intergalactic organization, Elio must overcome a series of unexpected trials, bond with eccentric beings, and face a crisis of cosmic proportions.
This extraordinary adventure will lead him not only to protect his planet, but also to find out who is truly destined. A great intergalactic adventure about self-acceptance and acceptance of differences and the power of imagination.
Who are the original voices?
In terms of vocal casting, America Ferrera voices Olga, Elio’s mother, Jonas Kibrabi doubles as the young hero, Jamila Jamil is Quest’s ambassador, and Brad Garrett plays Grignon’s ambassador.
For their 28th feature film, the 1986 studio is returning to science fiction, a genre already explored in WALL-E (2008) and, more recently, Buzz Lightyear (2021).
After Vice Versa 2 and before Toy Story 5 (set for theaters June 17, 2026), Elio is the original film. Recall that the studio’s new strategy calls for the release of three films every two years: two sequels or spin-offs from established franchises and an original film, with the ambition of turning the latter into potentially new franchises if the meeting succeeds. .
