  • PublishedApril 3, 2025

Let’s dive into the cosmic conundrum that is Pixar’s upcoming animated gem, ‘Elio,’ shall we? The beloved Zoe Saldaña, fresh off her Oscar triumph, took center stage at CinemaCon to unveil an exclusive 3D sneak peek of this whimsical adventure. Scheduled for release on June 20, the film introduces us to an 11-year-old boy named Elio, voiced by the talented Yonas Kibreab. Our young protagonist finds himself on an intergalactic rollercoaster after being mistaken for Earth’s monarch when he gets beamed up to a spaceship filled with representatives from various galaxies. Talk about an identity crisis!

In this brilliantly animated escapade, Elio must forge unlikely friendships and tackle a looming crisis of astronomical proportions, all while trying to realize his ultimate dream. Saldaña, who lends her voice to Aunt Olga, describes the narrative as a “heartfelt, funny and beautiful story” that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever pondered their purpose in the grand scheme of existence. It seems Pixar is on a roll, weaving tales that tug at our heartstrings while providing the laughs we didn’t know we needed.

Saldaña’s enthusiasm is infectious, as she elaborates on the emotional journey the characters embark on, making us ponder our own paths and places in the universe. And let’s not forget the powerhouse supporting cast, which includes Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as ambassador Questa, and the enchanting Shirley Henderson as OOOOO. With Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian at the helm, this film promises to blend humor and heart in a way only Pixar can.

Of course, CinemaCon was not just a showcase for ‘Elio’; it also featured tantalizing previews of other animated favorites like ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and ‘Zootopia 2.’ This annual Hollywood gathering, hosted in the glitzy Las Vegas, is the place where cinematic dreams and industry ambitions collide, as studio heads and cinema owners come together to unveil what’s next for moviegoers.

So, as we mark our calendars for this June release, let’s prepare for a cosmic journey that’s bound to be filled with laughter, tears, and perhaps a few existential revelations. With Saldaña leading the charge, it’s clear that ‘Elio’ is set to carve out a special place in the Pixar legacy.

Class dismissed. Don’t forget to bring your tissues for the feels!
