The first full trailer for the new Disney-Pixar film Elio has just been released, in which Earth gets an unlikely intergalactic representative. Elio centres on the titular 11-year-old boy, voiced by Yonas 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.
The voice cast also includes Jameela Jamil, Brad Garrett, recent Oscar winner Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly and Shirley Henderson. Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian helm Elio after the exit of initial writer-director Adrian Molina.
Per the full synopsis, “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.”
The new Pixar film will be released in cinemas on June 13th. Watch the trailer below:
