Have you ever wondered if we’re alone in the universe? Evidence suggests life on other planets could exist. Still, we’ve yet to contact beings capable of communicating on a level similar to our native speech patterns. Chances are there’s intelligent life in the infinite that exists beyond our reach. Elio is about to encounter a federation of outer space creatures as a representative of Earth. It’s a big responsibility for such a young person, and Elio’s lie could land Earth in a compromising position in Disney and Pixar‘s Elio teaser trailer.
In today’s Elio teaser trailer, a case of mistaken identity finds a young boy, Elio, being beamed aboard an alien craft and placed before a gathering of creatures from beyond the stars. The aliens think Elio is the ambassador of Earth, but Elio knows better, or does he? Once his survival instinct kicks in,...

Walt Disney Animation Chief Creative Officer Jennifer Lee regularly returned to the centennial of the Walt Disney Company during the studio’s massive panel devoted to the features they have coming up over the next several years. Innovation was the name of the game. With three years passing since the last time audiences were ensconced in Hall D23 both Walt Disney Animation and Pixar touted a desire to change with the times. Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter said, if anything, the pandemic forced the studio to ask “what’s our purpose” and based on the footage for both studios, there’s a desire to make that purpose great storytelling and A-list actors voicing iconic characters.

Buckle your seatbelts for a new space-faring animated adventure: Disney has announced the latest Pixar film, "Elio," at the D23 expo in Anaheim. The story, per the official description, involves "a boy who finds himself transported across the galaxy and mistaken for the intergalactic Ambassador for planet Earth." America Ferrera will lend her voice to "Elio" as a character named Olga Solis, with cute and charismatic child actor Yonas Kibreab — who played a Jedi youngling in "Obi-Wan Kenobi" — starring as the titular Elio.
On the D23 stage, "Elio" director Adrian Molina and producer Mary Alice Drumm were on hand to talk about the movie, 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?" /Film's Ethan Anderton was also on the ground at D23, where the announcement of "Elio" came with a planned screen glitch and...

America Ferrera will play his mom, Olga. “Olga is super-confident, smart and can hold her own in any situation,” the Superstore and Ugly Betty alum said onstage. “She’s a character who speaks to me in so many ways as a mother. And of course, with my advanced mathematical degree, I can finally put it to use. Don’t Google it.”

Friday at Disney’s D23 Expo, Pixar bigwig Pete Docter announced a brand new Pixar movie, coming out in spring 2024, called “Elio.”
The plot revolves around Elio, a kid who can’t exactly fit in, who accidentally makes first contact with an alien species. He’s beamed up to the “Commutiverse,” a “sparking space-city” that is like the intergalactic Un that is described as “outer space like no one has seen before.” Director Adrian Molina, who was the co-director of Pixar’s charming “Coco,” directs “Elio” solo. And America Ferrera stars as Elio’s mom, who works at a secret government facility that is trying to decode a message from beyond the stars.
“I am so excited to be playing Olga in this movie. She’s a character who speaks to me in so many ways,” Ferrera said. Newcomer Yonas Kibreab voices Elio, and Mary Alice Drumm will produce for Pixar.
