What if the thing you were searching for found you first? In Pixar Animation Studios’ big-screen comedic misadventure Elio, the alien-obsessed title character discovers the answer to that question when he is transported to the Communiverse, an interplanetary paradise that is home to intelligent life from galaxies far and wide.
But when he’s mistaken as Earth’s leader, he’ll have to form unexpected bonds, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions and make sure he doesn’t lose the opportunity to live out his ultimate dream.
Disney and Pixar today revealed the new trailer and poster for the highly anticipated film, opening in theaters on June 13, 2025.
Elio 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.
The film is 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).
Elio was previously scheduled to be released on March 1, 2024, but the film was delayed due in part to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and a change in leadership on this film and other projects at Pixar. The other film scheduled for a June 13, 2025 release is DreamWorks’ live-action How to Train Your Dragon.
