In Pixar's upcoming film, 'Elio,' the story revolves around an 11-year-old boy who feels isolated and yearns for connection, mirroring a broader societal struggle with loneliness. Directed by Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian, the film contrasts Elio's bleak existence on Earth with the infinite possibilities of the cosmos. As he attempts to reach out to aliens, his journey reflects a deeper exploration of hope amidst despair. Set to release on June 20, 'Elio' promises to resonate with audiences grappling with their own feelings of isolation.
Elio, the Emeryville-based animated studio's 29th feature, opens in theaters June 20.
I feel like space has this sort of inherent loneliness to it, but also a feeling of hope, explains Sharafian.
When you first meet him on Earth, he's sort of trapped in something I think we're all maybe experiencing right now.
This sort of feeling like this place cannot possibly work for me.
