Elio

A closer look at the story

Elio is a young boy who is passionate about space, has an imagination that never switches off and does not feel he really belongs anywhere. One day something unexpected happens: he finds himself accidentally beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary community made up of representatives from distant galaxies. What is more, the aliens there mistake him for Earth's official ambassador. Utterly unprepared for such a huge responsibility, Elio has to forge new friendships with a host of strange and lovable aliens, survive a series of tough trials and overcome a crisis of intergalactic proportions. This cosmic adventure also opens the way for Elio to discover who he really is and who he is meant to be. Directed by Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi, this 98-minute 2025 animated adventure features the voices of Yonas Kibreab, Remy Edgerly, Zoe Saldaña and Brad Garrett.
