Read my spoiler-free movie review of Elio (2025).
Zoe Saldana, Yonas Kibreab, Brad Garrett and Jameela Jamil are the stars of Elio, an animated fantasy/adventure about a young space fanatic who ends up on the adventure of his dreams.
‘I like it. I’m hopeful‘
The above are my precise thoughts after watching this teaser trailer. The visuals certainly have my attention. I, too, have fantasised about being up far beyond the sky because of the beautiful sights on offer. However, since I’m not going to space travel and I have zero interest in being abducted by aliens, I’m happy to settle for NASA images, my vivid imagination and movies such as this one.
Does Elio have your imagination going too? And how soothing is Saldana’s voice? Suddenly, I want her to read a book to me.
Elio is directed by Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi; Shirley Henderson and Remy Edgerly also star.
Elio Release Dates: June 20th, 2025, (US & UK)…

The Movie My Life 
I’ll stick with NASA until I have the funds. 😜
😁😁 Not a bad plan, that. 😁
I like this animation style; it reminds me of Home, the Jim Parsons movie.
I see the ‘Home’ look too. visually, it looks great. Let’s hope everything else works as well. 🙏🤞
very cool!
I agree. It looks good, like a fun, imaginative animation. The story’s execution just has to match.
You’d think with all the money they spend they could afford to get both words and images right!
I’m honestly not won over by this. Feels a little too childish and random. It might just be an after effect of Lightyear being as bad as it was.
I never bothered to watch Lightyear after seeing the headlines about it not meeting expectations. This may pleasantly surprise us and signify a return to the quality Pixar is usually known for. 🙏🤞🤞
I love the animation and colors, should be cute!
Me too and my hopes exactly! 🤓🥂
