Elio is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 13, 2025.

Elio is an upcoming American animated science fiction adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios. It is being directed by Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian with initial direction by Adrian Molina.[3] The film stars the voices of Yonas Kibreab, Jameela Jamil, Brad Garrett, Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly, and Shirley Henderson. It follows an eleven-year-old boy named Elio Solis (Kibreab) who accidentally becomes the intergalactic Ambassador of planet Earth after being beamed up to the Communiverse by aliens for making contact. He must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms and navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions.

The film was officially announced at the D23 Expo in September 2022, with Molina and Drumm already attached to the project as director and producer respectively, while Kibreab and America Ferrera were revealed to be cast in the lead voice roles of Elio and his mother, respectively. Jamil and Garrett joined the cast in June 2023. In August 2024, it was announced that Ferrera left the project due to scheduling conflicts and she would be replaced by Saldaña as Elio's aunt, while Shi and Sharafian would replace Molina as the directors though he still retains a director credit. Edgerly and Henderson were cast in November 2024. Its musical score is being composed by Rob Simonsen.

Premise
Elio is a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession. So, when he's beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, Elio's all in for the epic undertaking. Mistakenly identified as Earth's leader, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be.

Production

Development
On September 9, 2022, during the D23 Expo, Pixar announced a new original film titled Elio, with Adrian Molina set to direct and Mary Alice Drumm set to produce. It would have marked Molina's feature-length solo directorial debut after having co-directed and co-written Coco (2017). At the same time, Molina and Drumm talked about the film by 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?" Shortly after, the announcement came with a planned screen glitch and a message with alien text saying, "Bring us to your leader."

On June 12, 2024, Pixar's chief creative officer Pete Docter revealed that Turning Red (2022) director Domee Shi was working on the film.[7] She was officially announced as the new director at the D23 fan event on August 9, 2024, alongside Madeline Sharafian with Molina leaving the film to work on a new project, although he is reportedly retaining his directing credit.

Casting
On September 9, 2022, during the D23 Expo, America Ferrera and Yonas Kibreab were announced to have been cast in the leading voice roles of Olga Solis and her son Elio, respectively. On June 13, 2023, with the release of the first teaser trailer and poster, Jameela Jamil and Brad Garrett joined the film's voice cast. In August 2024, Docter stated that Ferrera stepped out due to scheduling conflicts; parts of her voice acting still remain in the first teaser trailer. As a result, the character of Olga was rewritten as Elio's aunt and voiced by Zoe Saldaña. On November 21, 2024, with the release of the second teaser trailer and poster, Remy Edgerly and Shirley Henderson joined the film's voice cast as Glordon and OOOOO, respectively.

Music
In November 2024, Rob Simonsen was announced to compose the score for the film.

Release
Elio is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States by Walt Disney Pictures on June 13, 2025. It was originally scheduled to be released on March 1, 2024, but in October 2023, the film was delayed to its current release date. According to Pete Docter, the film's delay was due in part to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike as well as the change in leadership on this film and other projects at Pixar.
