Disney and Pixar’s Cosmic Misadventure “Elio” – A First Look at the Teaser Trailer

Once again, Pixar Animation Studios has done a great job in creating an exciting new world filled with heart, humor, and otherworldly wonder in their upcoming film Elio. The teaser trailer recently released gives the audience a peek into this cosmic adventure coming to theaters on June 13, 2025. Packed with stellar visuals, quirky characters, and a premise brimming with imaginative potential, Elio promises to be an unforgettable journey into the stars.

At the core of Elio is the titular character: an 11-year-old boy who dreams of connecting with something beyond Earth’s confines. Elio, voiced by newcomer Yonas Kibreab, is a creative, alien-obsessed kid whose wildest dreams turn into reality when he gets unexpectedly transported to the Communiverse-a dazzling hub for intelligent life from galaxies far and wide.

But his dream soon turns into an unanticipated turn of events when Elio is mistakenly recognized as the “leader of Earth.” The stakes are high in this misadventure that forces him to go through intergalactic diplomacy, makes unplanned alliances, and proves himself to the universe while being true to his identity. The teaser hints at Elio’s transformation from an imaginative child into a reluctant hero, combining Pixar’s signature blend of emotional depth and comedy.

Joining Kibreab is an impressive voice cast to bring the alien inhabitants of the Communiverse and Elio’s family to life, including:

• Zoe Saldaña voices the role of Aunt Olga, Elio’s protective yet loving guardian.
• Remy Edgerly plays Glordon, a mysterious yet comically awkward alien companion.
• Brad Garrett lends his iconic voice to Lord Grigon, a galactic authority figure with an imposing presence.
• Ambassador Questa, voiced by Jameela Jamil, is diplomatic poise with a healthy dose of sass.

The ensemble is rounded out by Shirley Henderson as OOOOO, a creation as mysterious as the name would suggest.

The trailer teases the interaction between Elio and the colorful alien personas: the humor and deep relationships that will anchor the story.

Elio is led by an impressive cast of Pixar veterans, including the following:

• Madeline Sharafian, director of the heartwarming short Burrow.
• Domee Shi is an Oscar-winning creator of Bao and director of Turning Red.
• Adrian Molina is a co-writer and co-director of the celebrated Coco.
• Mary Alice Drumm, associate producer on Coco, completes the team as producer.

With such great talent driving the project, fans can be sure Elio will bring that emotional depth, stunning animation quality, and imaginative storytelling Pixar is known for.

The teaser introduces viewers to the Communiverse: a life burst with colors and a realm whimsical in feel, both vast and intimate. The design of the alien species gives way to Pixar’s playful creativity, from unique and quirky shapes to movements that make them memorable from get-go. It’s a cosmic backdrop for Eiko’s journey, with a stunning combination of cutting-edge animation and Pixar warmth and charm.

At its core, Elio contemplates a sense of belonging and identity, along with the power of connection. The teaser promises an emotional ride in which Elio’s bravery and ingenuity will be put to the test as he tries to live up to being Earth’s “leader” while remaining true to his dreamer spirit.

Slated to hit theaters exclusively on June 13, 2025, Elio has already garnered the excitement of fans of Disney and Pixar worldwide.
