Elio Teaser Makes Contact

Movies

Today, Disney and Pixar dropped the first teaser for Elio, an original story coming from Pixar in 2024. Elio (Yonas Kibreab) is the young son of a government agent (America Ferrera) trying to handle contact with aliens. The messengers misinterpret a phone message from Elio, taking him for the leader of Earth and sending him on the adventure of a lifetime. Check it out here: 

I actually think this looks pretty good. The concept art didn’t do much for me, and lately, I just haven’t been thrilled with Pixar, but this looks like a lot of fun. The art style looks breezy and creative, and I’m interested to see more about Elio’s relationship with his mom, who seems somewhat neglectful based on the teaser.
