Elio is an upcoming American animated science fiction adventure film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is being written and directed by Adrian Molina (in his feature directorial debut), and produced by Mary Alice Drumm. The film stars the voices of Yonas Kibreab, America Ferrera, Jameela Jamil, and Brad Garrett. Elio follows an eleven-year-old boy named Elio Solis (Kibreab) who accidentally becomes the intergalactic Ambassador of planet Earth after being beamed up to the Communiverse by aliens for making contact. Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms and survive a series of formidable trials.

The film was officially announced at the D23 Expo in September 2022, with Molina and Drumm already attached to the project as writer/director and producer, respectively, while Kibreab and Ferrera were revealed to be cast in the lead voice roles. Jamil and Garrett joined the cast in June 2023.

Elio is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 13, 2025 in the United States.

Production

Development

On September 9, 2022, during the D23 Expo, Pixar announced a new film titled Elio, with Adrian Molina writing and directing and Mary Alice Drumm producing. It marks Molina's feature-length directorial debut after he co-directed Coco (2017), which he also co-wrote.[3] At the same time, Molina and Drumm talked about the film by helping pose the question, "What if I told you we're not alone in the universe, and everything you've ever heard about aliens is true?" Shortly after, the announcement came with a planned screen glitch and a message with alien text saying, "Bring us to your leader."[4]

Casting

On September 9, 2022, during the D23 Expo, America Ferrera and Yonas Kibreab were announced to have been cast in the leading voice roles of Olga Solis and her son Elio, respectively.[1]

On June 13, 2023, with the release of the teaser trailer and poster, Jameela Jamil and Brad Garrett joined the film's voice cast.[2]

Release

Elio is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on June 13, 2025, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.[5] It was originally scheduled for theatrical release on March 1, 2024,[6] but due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the film was moved to its current release date in October 2023.[5]

Marketing

Following the project announcement, the first look concept art of the film was released on September 9, 2022.[3] Joshua Meyer of /Film said it "sounds like the kind of fresh, original storytelling that Pixar built its brand on."[4] A teaser trailer was released on June 13, 2023, featuring "Good Feeling" by Austin French.[7] Ethan Anderton of /Film said "Adding some charm to this story is the fact that Elio isn't exactly the most confident kid. Though he's artistic and creative, he's also more of an indoor kid who doesn't fit in with his peers. But perhaps being among a group of aliens who aren't human will allow him an opportunity to make a connection without any societal pressure. This just might be the opportunity Elio needs to come out of his shell."[2] Pauli Poisuo of Looper says while it "obviously doesn't give too much of the story away, it certainly looks gorgeous and intriguing."[8]
