Big news, fans and friends: Disney and Pixar’s Elio is now streaming on Disney+! Watch it for the first or 21st time; we don’t judge around here! You’ll be feeling the warm fuzzies no matter what...
Journey into the incredible Communiverse with alien-obsessed Elio (voiced by Yonas Kibreab), as he makes first contact with extraterrestrials who mistake him for Earth’s leader—and share in the unbridled joy as he sees his lifelong dream come true.
In the film, which originally rocketed onto screens this past June, Elio—a space fanatic with an active imagination—finds himself on a cosmic misadventure of epic proportions, where he must form new bonds with eccentric alien life forms, including adorable new friend Glordon (voiced by Remy Edgerly); navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions; and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be. The voice cast also features Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Brandon Moon as Ambassador Helix, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa, Brendan Hunt as Gunther Melmac, and Shirley Henderson as Ooooo.
