Elio goes on an intergalactic adventure after he’s abducted by aliens who mistake him for Earth’s ambassador.
After experiencing huge box office success with their sequel Inside Out 2 last year, Pixar are bringing us a brand-new original story, Elio.
The animated outing follows a lonely, space-obsessed boy named Elio (voiced by Yonas Kibreab) who longs to be abducted by aliens following the death of his parents.
His dreams finally come true one day when he is abducted and taken to the Communiverse, which is under threat from the evil warlord Lord Grigon (Brad Garrett). Elio, mistakenly believed to be Earth’s ambassador, has to step up and negotiate with Lord Grigon to protect the Communiverse.
During his time on Grigon’s ship, Elio meets the villain’s toothy eyeless child Glordon (Remy Edgerly) and they become great friends and go on an adventure together.
Elio is a delightful space caper with dazzling visuals (as always, with Pixar) and a lot of heart. The surface may be colourful, shiny and fun, but this tackles themes of loneliness, grief, acceptance...
