Exclusive: Joel McHale (Animal Control) and Paula Patton (Sacrifice) are set to star alongside Yonas Kibreab, the lead of Pixar’s forthcoming Elio, in Reimagined, a musical feature marking the directorial debut of composer Mateo Messina (Juno), which adapts his original symphony The Pageant.

Written by Messina and Jeff Witzke, the film follows Felix McCoy (Kibreab), a young boy grappling with the loss of his mother, Mary (Patton), the beloved creator of the town’s annual holiday pageant. When the production is taken over and rebranded into a shallow spectacle by cocksure director, Hamilton Lydell (McHale), Felix secretly sabotages the event, only to realize that saving the show might be the only way to keep his late mother’s spirit alive.

Currently shooting on location in the Hudson Valley, New York, the film also stars Cress Williams (Black Lightning), Josh Holloway (Duster), Kate Micucci (Dog Man), Jade Catta-Preta (Future Man...

Following a trailer drop last month, Pixar delivered a much longer introduction to its next big screen star Elio during Disney’s CinemaCon presentation on Thursday courtesy of newly minuted Oscar winner Zoe Saldaña.

The family friendly animated comedy, set for release on June 20, centers on the titular 11-year-old, voiced by Yonas Kibreab, who is mistaken for the ruler of Earth when he is beamed up to join an interplanetary group that includes representatives from various galaxies. He learns that he must form unexpected bonds and navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions while making sure he doesn’t lose the opportunity to live out his ultimate dream.

Saldaña voices the role of Aunt Olga with Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as Ooooo. Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian helmed Elio after initial writer-director Adrian Molina’s exit. Mary Alice Drumm produces the film.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, it seemed as if Pixar could do no wrong. The animation studio, in league with Disney, pushed forward the idea of all-computer-animated feature films back in 1995 with the release of "Toy Story," gaining a lot of critical attention for its clever writing and penchant for heart-rending sentimentality. It wouldn't be until the release of "Cars 2" in 2011 that critics would begin to cool to the studio. And even still, "Cars 2" was a $559 million hit.

In the 2010s, Pixar began to skew further and further away from original ideas and lean heavier into sequels or prequels to its earlier hits. Indeed, of the 10 Pixar features released in that decade, six were part of an established franchise. Some of these films were excellent, but the studio nevertheless seemed a few years beyond its creative peak.

The first half of the 2020s was a mixed bag for Pixar,...

It may be time for Disney to return to 2D animation and there are great reasons for it!

There's been a long debate among Disney fans about whether the company should go back to traditional hand-drawn 2D animation. They had tried in 2009 with The Princess and the Frog but that movie's underperformance at the box office meant sticking to CGI.

Disney has seen a lot of success since adapting to 3D animation. However, it's also seen failures like 2024's Wish. They've had to rely on Pixar and change Moana 2 from a planned TV series to a feature film. Which is why maybe it's a great time for Disney to seriously consider going back to 2D animation and there are some excellent reasons it can work!

Here’s All We Know About Pixar’s Elio So Far! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Pixar has repeatedly given us stories that cater to young ones and adults alike. Many adults today have some intrinsic memory attached to a Pixar film they watched growing up. Despite the ebbs and flows in narration or production, Pixar continues to give us memorable movies year after year. The latest addition to this roster is Elio, an upcoming film about a young boy who ventures into space and befriends an alien.

Elio is a story about almost every young mind who is introduced to the possibility of a world outside of Earth. Elio, the 11-year-old protagonist, is highly obsessed with outer space and desperately wants to be abducted by aliens so that he can venture there.

He sends a signal to Communiverse, an interplanetary organization, and is beamed up on the ship. He is mistaken...

The most interesting thing about Pixar’s Elio is how completely different the official trailer is from the teaser released in June 2023. Watch that one first, then check out the new one, and it’s like watching two different stories with some of the same characters.

Yonas Kibreab provides the voice of Elio and new Oscar winner Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Perez) is Aunt Olga. The voice cast also includes Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa, and Shirley Henderson as Ooooo. America Ferrera was originally announced to play Elio’s mom, but Ferrera exited the project due to scheduling conflicts.

Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar have debuted a stunning new trailer for Elio, their big summer release that will follow an 11-year-old named Elio (Yonas Kibreab) who gets abducted by aliens and travels the millions of miles across the universe encountering otherworldy creatures who help him find exactly where he belongs.

Madeline Sharafian (Sparkshorts), Domee Shi (Bao; Turning Red) and Adrian Molina (Coco) co-directed the animated feature, with Mary Alice Drumm (Coco) producing. Domee Shi also penned the film's screenplay.

Yonas Kibreab (Sweet Tooth; Obi-Wan Kenobi; Slumberland) headlines the voice cast as Elio, with a supporting cast consisting of Academy Award-winner Zoe Saldaña (Avatar; Guardians of the Galaxy; Star Trek) as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly (Shōgun; Turning Red; Baby Shark’s Big Show!) as Glordon, Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond; Finding Nemo; Tangled) as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil (The Good Place; She-Hulk: Attorney at Law; DC League of Super-Pets) as Ambassador Questa,...

Se han publicado un nuevo tráiler y póster de Elio, la película de Disney Pixar de este verano que dirigen el trío formado por Madeline Sharafian (cortometraje Sparkshort Burrow), Domee Shi y Adrian Molina (coguionista y codirector de Coco).

En Elio, la tercera incursión de Pixar en la ciencia ficción tras Wall-e y Lightyear, los humanos llevan siglos pidiendo respuestas al universo y ahora éste les devuelve la llamada. Elio, de 11 años, un fanático del espacio con una imaginación desbordante y una enorme obsesión por los extraterrestres, es transportado al Comuniverso, una organización interplanetaria con representantes de galaxias lejanas. Identificado erróneamente como el líder de la Tierra, deberá forjar nuevos vínculos con excéntricas formas de vida alienígena, superar una crisis de proporciones intergalácticas y, al final, descubrir quién es y cuál es su verdadero destino.

The new trailer for Elio promises some fantastic fun for an intergalactic Pixar outing! However, it also hints the film may have undergone a major change in production!

It's been a tricky time for Pixar. The animation studio suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic, with Soul, Luca, and Turning Red all banished to Disney+ while Lightyear became the company's biggest flop. 

They turned it around, with Elemental overcoming a poor opening to become a box office success and Inside Out 2 being a monster hit. Elio was going to be arriving in March of 2024, only to be bumped to this summer. 

The first teaser, released in 2023, had the apparent setup of an alien race contacting Earth and demanding, "Give us your leader." Thanks to a telephone snafu, the aliens mistake young Elio (Yonas Kibreab) for Earth's leader and whisk him into space, where Elio has to "defend" humanity to the universe.

"I've never had a friend before..." "Me neither!" Pixar has unveiled their full official trailer for the "cosmic misadventure" sci-fi movie Elio, finally arriving in theaters worldwide this June. We posted the first teaser back in 2023, and it was supposed to hit theaters in March 2024, now ready for release a whole year later. A space fanatic with an active imagination & huge alien obsession, Elio's all in for an epic undertaking when he's beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far & wide. When Elio is mistakenly identified as Earth's leader, he must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow also discover who and where he is truly meant to be. It's now being co-directed by three filmmakers: Madeline Sharafian (Burrow), Domee Shi (Turning Red), Adrian Molina (Coco). With voices of Yonas Kibreab as Elio, Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga,...

Pixar’s “Elio” is almost – finally – here.

The original animated feature, developed initially by “Coco” co-writer/co-director Adrian Molina (who still retains a credit on the final film), was slated to hit theaters on March 1, 2024. But after a change in leadership on the project, compounded by the twin SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes of 2023, the sci-fi adventure is now headed to theaters this summer. And we’ve got the brand-new trailer, our best look yet at the beloved animation studio’s latest. Watch it below.

In “Elio,” the title character is a young boy who dreams of being among the stars (Yonas Kibreab). He is misidentified by a band of helpful aliens as Earth’s ambassador and they beam him up. That’s where he meets a whole host of colorful alien creatures, including Glordon (Remy Edgerly), Questa (Jameela Jamil), Lord Grigon (Brad Garrett) and Ooooo (Shirley Henderson).

Everyone knows making friends can be challenging, primarily if your interests reside outside the norm. In Elio’s case, he daydreams about being abducted by aliens, which is a rare fantasy. Not many people share Elio’s enthusiasm for almond-eyed extraterrestrials and the likelihood of being studied by extra-normal beings looking to make sense of the universe. However, some friends can materialize in the most unlikely places, and Elio’s best friend is out of this world, figuratively and literally. Today, Pixar is thrilled to present the latest trailer for Elio, an interstellar animated adventure about mistaken identity, friendship, and acceptance.

Here’s the official synopsis for Elio courtesy of Disney and Pixar:

Disney has dropped the trailer for “Elio” (June 20), Pixar’s first stab at sci-fi since the masterful “Wall-e.” The celestial comedy-adventure, from directors Domee Shi (“Turning Red”) and Madeline Sharafian (the “Burrow” short) and producer Mary Alice Drumm (“Coco”), finds 11-year-old social misfit Elio (Yonas Kibreab) obsessed with getting abducted by aliens.

“I’m trying to get abducted — by aliens,” Elio said in a teaser trailer that Disney released late last year. “I’m supposed to be up there.”

Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian helmed Elio after initial writer-director Adrian Molina’s exit. Mary Alice Drumm produces the film.

A Very Merry Christmas Tree / Mountain Dogs Season 2 Episode 13 Episode Summary

In the upcoming episode of “Pupstruction,” titled “A Very Merry Christmas Tree / Mountain Dogs,” excitement fills the air as the team takes on two festive challenges. This episode promises to bring holiday cheer and adventure, perfect for the season.

The first part of the episode centers around the team being asked to build a giant Christmas tree. Bobby, one of the eager pups, sees this as his big chance to impress Santa and finally secure a spot on the “Nice List.” Viewers can expect to see Bobby’s determination as he works hard to make the tree the best it can be. The team will face fun obstacles along the way, showcasing their teamwork and creativity.

In the second part of the episode, Pupstruction shifts gears to rescue skiers who are stuck on Pupcake Mountain.

In the past, filmmakers have talked about pushing the PG-13 rating to the limit, seeing what they can get away with before the Motion Picture Association slaps an R-rating on their work. However, until now, that conversation has rarely been brought up by a director of a PG-rated movie, especially one developed by Pixar.

In an interview with Empire (via Screen Rant), Elio co-director Madeline Sharafian shared that the animated movie will push the studio's ratings boundaries by including references to acclaimed horror classics like Alien, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and The Thing. "[Elio has] some sci-fi horror references. It's one of our best surprises, so I don't want to give away too much," she teased. "I'm always trying to push it to be weirder and a little creepier, to ride that line of the PG movie."

Disney has several upcoming animated movies and the slate looks intriguing. Disney has found incredible success in live-action properties over the years, but the studio's bread and butter for decades has been with animated movies made for the entire family. On top of the classic animated tales that largely defined Disney's success, the acquisition of Pixar in 2006 brought a great partner to produce massive hits. Over the last decade, Disney and Pixar have both found great success with franchises like Frozen and Toy Story, as well as original films like Coco or Encanto.

Even though Disney's animated movies have encountered some struggles at the box office since 2020, this form of storytelling remains a critical part of the Mouse House's strategy. The success of Inside Out 2 at the summer box office could help bring back confidence in these types of movies. There are plans for more new stories from Walt Disney Animation,...

After nine years, Pixar finally released the sequel to its 2015 Oscar-winning hit Inside Out. Inside Out 2 will remain as the company’s only 2024 release, but boy, was it a hit. With $1.698 billion, the movie ascended to the top place of this year’s box office and will most likely remain this year’s top-earning movie.

Now, after a rough patch, Pixar is definitely looking to continue down the path set by Inside Out 2, and they are hoping that Elio, their next release, will mimic the success of Inside Out 2. Elio is set for a June 13, 2025 release (around the same time as Inside Out 2 was released) and will be Pixar’s only 2025 release, so the formula is there.

Following a rather quiet 2024 thanks to last year's Hollywood strikes, 2025 is shaping up to be a much bigger - and busier - year for movies.

In this action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation's acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.

The Bad Guys 2 stars the stellar original cast, led by Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, Marc Maron as safe-cracker Mr. Snake, Craig Robinson as master-of disguise Mr.

Disney has dropped the teaser trailer for Pixar’s sci-fi comedy, “Elio”. It’s a celestial coming-of-age adventure with eye-popping intergalactic aliens and phosphorescent-looking environments. It’s about 11-year-old Elio (Yonas Kibreab), a one-eyed, alien-obsessed social misfit, who beams up to an inter-planetary paradise, where he gets mistaken as Earth’s leader. He has a blast forming new bonds while navigating an intergalactic crisis without being found out.

“Elio” is produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of “Coco”) and directed by Madeline Sharafian (the “Burrow” short) and Domee Shi (“Turning Red”), who replaced Adrian Molina (“Coco” co-director) mid-production.

“Elio” was to mark Molina’s directorial debut and was a personal story. But story problems ensued, and the original release was delayed until June 13, 2025, in part because of the SAG-AFTRA strike. This marked the first time that Pete Docter, Pixar’s chief creative officer, had to replace a director during his tenure.
