Pixar’s ‘Elio’ Unveils New Teaser Trailer for Intergalactic Adventure

With their upcoming coming-of-age tale, ‘Elio’, Pixar and Disney are making a comeback to the sci-fi genre. This is their first attempt at a space-themed narrative since ‘Lightyear’ in 2022. This gorgeous movie, which comes after ‘Inside Out 2’, has been kept under wraps for a while. Fans can get a better idea of what to expect from this interstellar adventure from the recently released teaser trailer, even though Pixar gave a preview of the film during the 2024 D23 Expo.

Elio Solis (voiced by Yonas Kibreab), a little child with an odd dream of being kidnapped by aliens, is introduced in the teaser. Elio is adamant that aliens exist, even though his Aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña) advises him to make friends with people. 

When a UFO transports him to the Communiverse, a collection of extraterrestrial civilizations, his wish is realized. But there is a misunderstanding when the alien commanders think Elio is the leader of Earth. Then, when he develops relationships with oddball alien lifeforms and discovers his actual mission, Elio must negotiate this intergalactic misunderstanding.

The cast of ‘Elio’, which was directed by Adiran Molina, Domee Shi, and Madeline Sharafian, includes Brad Garrett, Zoe Saldaña, Yonas Kibreab, and Jameela Jamil. The official plot of the movie follows Elio as he is brought to the Communiverse, where he must learn about his role in the cosmos and cope with the fallout from being mistaken for Earth’s leader.

With further movies and TV series in the pipeline, ‘Elio’ is just one of many intriguing Pixar projects in the works. Following Elio’s 2025 release, Pixar plans to release ‘Hoppers’ in 2026, followed by ‘Toy Story 5’ and ‘Incredibles 3’ later that year.

On 13th June 2025, ‘Elio’ is scheduled to make its theatrical debut.
