What the Trailer Shows

The trailer begins with Elio’s mother (voiced by America Ferrera) who appears to be working at a United States Airforce base. Suddenly, the control room lights up and messages appear saying “Bring us your leader.” Elio then tries to call his mother, but she’s unable to respond. Then just after Elio says “I love you” before being sucked through space and time. Elio finds himself in a chamber surrounded by other aliens who assume he is the leader of planet Earth. Although he protests that he isn’t, he quickly changes his mind once they threaten to wipe his memory.

Elio then is accepted as a guest while the council considers whether or not Earth should join the U.A.S. (United Advanced Species). The title character also seems to befriend an Ambassador who is voiced by Brad Garrett.

Both Disney and Pixar films have seemed to struggle lately at the box office. Hopefully Elio (2024) will bring about a much needed blockbuster for the studio.

About Steven Wilk

Steven has a complicated relationship with Disney. As a child, he visited Walt Disney World every few years with his family. But he never understood why kids his age (and older) were so scared of Snow White or Alien Encounter. He is a former participant of the Disney College Program (left early…long story), and he also previously worked in Children’s publishing, where he adapted multiple Disney movies and TV shows. He has many controversial opinions about Disney…like having a positive view of Michael Eisner, believing Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, and that Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge should have never been built (at least not at Hollywood Studios). Every year for the past two decades, Steven has visited either Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani or went on a Disney Cruise. He’s happy to share any and all knowledge of the Disney destinations (and he likes using parenthesis a lot…as well as ellipses…)
