Pixar has a long tradition of delivering heartfelt, visually stunning animated stories, and Elio, their latest offering directed by Adrian Molina (co-director of Coco), continues this legacy with a vibrant space adventure full of emotion, humour and cosmic imagination.
At the heart of the story is 11-year-old Elio Solis, an introverted and wildly imaginative boy who unexpectedly becomes the Earth’s representative to an intergalactic federation known as the Communiverse – a sort of universal UN made up of quirky alien species from all corners of the galaxy. Due to a cosmic mix-up, Elio is whisked away into space and mistaken for an ambassador, setting off a whirlwind of interstellar missions, bizarre encounters, and interplanetary diplomacy.
