Pixar has just premiered the initial preview of their upcoming original narrative that centers around a boy acting as the spokesman for our world. Even though Elio’s theatrical release isn’t due until March 1, the concept has already begun resonating with audiences, priming them for a poignant journey that seeks to find a home in their hearts. Life takes a dramatic turn for the main character when extraterrestrials select him as Earth’s emissary, bestowing upon a young lad the massive responsibility of representing an entire planet. It’s challenging enough being a local public servant, let alone assuming such a role for billions of inhabitants.
Adrian Molina, a familiar face from past studio projects such as Coco and Lightyear, will be stepping into the director’s chair for the first time with this forthcoming film. He is set to shape an entirely fresh universe, marking a shift in Pixar’s recent tendency towards sequels. The voice cast comprises stellar talents including America Ferrera and Yonas Kibreab, with Kibreab lending his voice to the lead character. An interstellar thrill ride awaits those brave enough to plunge into Elio’s world, as one of the globe’s foremost animation studios gears up to augment their remarkable legacy.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY
In addition to their plans for Elio, Pixar’s official project roster lists just one more film. Following the sweeping success in 2015, earning them the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and a nomination for Best Original Screenplay, Riley and her sentiments are set to return in Inside Out 2. The workings of this universe have always been a fascinating spectacle, and with Riley stepping into adolescence, her emotions are bound to be in disarray. This follow-up is slated for a theatrical release approximately a year from now.

Elemental Arrives in Theatres This Month
The debut of the Elio trailer occurred during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Market, intentionally aligned with the imminent release of Pixar’s newest escapade, Elemental. Debuting in cinemas in a fortnight, this film explores the friendship, potentially blossoming into romance, between two characters defined by distinct elements: fire and water. However, their society is not widely accepting of bonds between individuals from diverse communities, so the film’s heroes strive to navigate their relationship within these constraints.
