Get ready to blast into space once again with Pixar.  Announced at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Ca, Pixar confirmed a new movie titled “Elio”.  This film features an 11-year-old boy who is transported across the galaxy.

Where we found Buzz Lightyear confused about his arrival on Earth (among other things), Elio finds himself confused as he lands on a whole new planet.  Not only is he transplanted to this new planet, but upon arrival, he is mistaken for the intergalactic Ambassador for Planet Earth.  A huge responsibility for anyone to tackle.

We can look forward to Elio arriving in the Spring of 2024. The film is set to hit theatres like Buzz Lightyear did earlier this year.  We hope that remains the case.

The film is directed by award-winning Adrian Molina (Coco) as well as produced also by someone from the Coco family Mary Alice Drumm.  Along with these two talented individuals, we will also see Yonas Kibreab (Obi-Wan Kenobi) star as Elio and America Ferrera as his mom Olga Solis.

 

America Ferrera will play his mom, Olga. “Olga is super-confident, smart, and can hold her own in any situation,” the Superstore and Ugly Betty alum said onstage. “She’s a character who speaks to me in so many ways as a mother. And of course, with my advanced mathematical degree, I can finally put it to use. Don’t Google it.”

We look forward to another adventure that takes us out of this world.  It is fun to see kids taking on big roles in these movies as they strive to overcome a variety of struggles.  Disney and Pixar have always been good at creating these outstanding films that not only entertain us but also teach us along the way.

We are excited to see what these amazing stars create in this new film Elio.

About Jennifer Retzlaff

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life. I live in Iowa with my husband and two kids who are growing up too quickly for my liking. I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which is also where you can follow me on instagram for trip reviews along with tips and tricks for your next magical vacation.
