This one, expected in cinemas on June 18, 2025, has just revealed new images in a new trailer with the scent ofE.T. et Encounters of the Third Kind.

A complicated production

Announced by the Luxo lamp studio in September 2022, Elio was originally scheduled to be released in theaters this year, but the film was pushed back a year due to the Hollywood strike, as well as last-minute changes in direction.

Pixar announced last summer that the duo Domee Shi (Red Alert) and Madeline Sharafian (We Are Bears) had replaced Adrian Molina (Coco), left for another project.

Pixar intends to ride on the global success of Vice-Versa 2and intends to prove that its original projects can exist outside of sequels, and bring audiences back to theaters. In 2023, Elementary had thus been a great success with almost 500 million dollars worldwide, and had allowed the studio to bounce back after its post-Covid failures.

Elio is expected in French cinemas on June 18, 2025.

In addition to the trailer, a new poster ofElio was also revealed:
