Pixar has released the official trailer for the animated science fiction movie "Elio".
The voice cast includes Yonas Kibreab, Jameela Jamil, Brad Garrett, Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly, and Shirley Henderson.
"Elio" centers on the titular 11-year-old (Kibreab), who is mistaken for the ruler of Earth when he is beamed up to join an interplanetary group that includes representatives from various galaxies.
Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian helmed Elio after initial writer-director Adrian Molina’s exit. Mary Alice Drumm produces the film.
During a previous interview with YouTube show Kids First, Kibreab said he expected the film to spur a variety of feelings from audiences.
“They’re gonna feel all different kinds of emotions,” he said at the time. “They’re gonna be laughing, they’re gonna maybe tear up — I don’t know — and they’re also just gonna be super happy because the movie is just generally a very funny and exciting movie.”
Pixar is coming off the success of "Inside Out 2" which hit theaters in June and became the highest-grossing title of 2024 at the global box office. It was also nominated for the Oscar for best animated feature.
"Elio" was first scheduled for release on March 1, 2024, before its debut was delayed. It opens in theaters on June 20.
