Official Description

“

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.^[2]

Production

On September 9, 2022, during the 2022 D23 Expo Presentation, Pixar announced a new original film titled Elio, with Adrian Molina directing and Mary Alice Drumm producing. It marks Molina as the sole directional debut of the film. That same day, America Ferrera and Yonas Kibreab were announced to have been cast in the leading voice roles of Olga Solis and Elio, respectively.

In October 2023, Disney announced it was delaying the release of Elio from March 1, 2024 to June 13, 2025, due to the 2023 actors strike.^[1]

On August 9, 2024, at D23 it was announced that Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian were joining Adrian Molina as co-directors.^[7] It was also announced that America Ferrera was no longer attached to the film as the voice of Elio's mom, and that Zoë Saldaña was joining the cast as Aunt Olga.^[8]

On February 14, 2025, Disney pushed the release date back to June 20, 2025, to avoid competition with Dreamworks' live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon.^[9]
