HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES — The newest Disney-Pixar animated movie, “Elio,” is now in the theatres, and it takes moviegoers out of this world.

In “Elio,” a little boy who loves space is happily abducted by aliens and taken to a place where he feels he belongs.

“It was crucial for our art team to create the universe of space, to design the ‘communiverse’ as a vibrant, inviting, diverse place, an aspirational world where aliens of all shapes, sizes, and colors can coexist,” stated director Domee Shi. “And when Elio first arrives, he feels like this is home and he wants to remain.”

Virtual reality! Animation! Voiceover sessions! Get an inside look at how “Elio” was brought to life at Pixar Animation Studios. It’s in theaters now.

“He desires to find a place where he feels loved and as if he belongs,” Director Madeline Sharafian mentioned. “And I think when you’re young and dreaming of these places, it’s often because you might feel like something’s missing in your real life and you’re seeking understanding or belonging.”

Themes in “Elio” include loss, love, friendship, and healing… with plenty of adventure and plenty of colorful aliens. Actually, too many to include in the movie!

“We had many, many other designs that we didn’t even bring into 3D,” said producer Mary Alice Drum. “And we were talking the other day. There’s a fun group of aliens that kind of look like mushrooms that were really featured at one point. They’re really funny. We had to cut that scene, so there’s just — the world of the aliens is so much and there’s so many more than you even see on screen.”

“Elio” is in theatres now.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Pixar and this ABC station.
