Pixar’s subsequent movie is known as Elio, and we’ve been hearing about it for so long, you could have assumed it already got here out. Nicely, it hasn’t, and a brand new trailer was simply launched timed to this month’s huge household movies and the vibe has undoubtedly modified.
First introduced at D23 Expo back in 2022, Elio follows a younger boy who desires to be kidnapped by aliens. Nonetheless, when his desires come true, the aliens mistake him for the chief of the planet and now this younger youngster has to save lots of everybody on the planet. It’s a enjoyable idea that leaves room for a ton of bizarre, wacky alien stuff which was the focus of the first trailer that got here out over a yr in the past. On this new trailer although, issues focus extra on the Earth facet, turning up the nostalgia.
Actor Yonas Kibreab voices Elio, and he’s joined by Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as OOOOO. Nice names by the best way. It has three administrators – a positive signal of the movie’s struggles – and they’re Madeline Sharafian (Burrow), Domee Shi (Bao, Turning Purple) and Adrian Molina (Coco).
Initially scheduled for launch in March 2024, Elio is now approaching June 13, 2025. That’s par for the course on some Pixar motion pictures and, hopefully, the additional yr and a half implies that Elio has developed into the superior film it may probably be. Pixar raised the bar once more with Inside Out 2 this yr and with lots of sequels coming from them over the subsequent few years (Toy Story 5, Incredibles 3, and so forth.) we’d like to see a brand new star emerge from the animation large.
And whereas this trailer actually has a few of these wild, colourful aliens, the Earth stuff hits otherwise. You get big-time Nineteen Eighties vibes from seeing a baby going as much as area, uncertain what they’re going to come across. It jogs my memory of Explorers, The Final Starfighter, E.T., that form of stuff.
Elio hits theaters on June 13. Tell us what you consider the brand new trailer beneath.
