Pixar Unveils a Cosmic Adventure in the First Trailer for Sci-Fi Animation Elio

After achieving record-breaking success this summer with Inside Out 2, which became the highest-grossing animated film of all time, expectations for Pixar’s next project are through the roof. However, the iconic animation studio aims to surpass even those lofty expectations with their bold, original sci-fi adventure, Elio. Helmed by Turning Red director Domee Shi, Coco co-writer and co-director Adrian Molina, and SparkShorts alum Madeline Sharafian, the film is shaping up to be an extraordinary journey through the cosmos. The cast includes rising star Yonas Kibreab in the lead role, joined by notable names such as Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly, Brad Garrett, Jameela Jamil, and Shirley Henderson. Elio promises to deliver a truly stellar experience. You can catch a glimpse in the newly released teaser trailer below.

Drawing on the vibrant energy of Turning Red and Luca, the interstellar magic of Wall-E, and the intricate world-building seen in Elemental and Soul, this teaser may only last a minute, but it brims with potential. Its premise — a young boy with a passion for aliens who dreams of being abducted finally gets his wish — is both fresh and intriguing. Whisked away to an interplanetary organization’s headquarters, he faces the challenge of uncovering his true identity and understanding his place in the universe. With its mix of exotic alien species, lighthearted fish-out-of-water comedy, and heartfelt exploration of identity and belonging, Elio promises to be a poignant tale of co-existence across cultures and worlds.

And here’s a new poster for the film:

Mistakenly identified as Earth’s leader, Elio must forge connections with quirky alien species, tackle a universe-spanning crisis, and discover where he truly belongs in the cosmos.”
