Elio

Elio (2025) is a Pixar animated sci-fi adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Adrian Molina. 99 minutes of intergalactic chaos starring an eleven-year-old who absolutely should not be Earth's ambassador.

Elio is the kind of kid who memorizes star maps and sends radio signals into deep space hoping something answers. Something does. One moment he's on Earth; the next, he's standing in the Communiverse — an interplanetary organization that runs on diplomacy, protocol, and the assumption that whoever just arrived represents an entire civilization. He doesn't correct them fast enough. Suddenly he's seated at negotiations he doesn't understand, surrounded by alien lifeforms that are eccentric at best and chaotic at worst, while back home his aunt (voiced by Zoe Saldana) is trying to figure out where he went. Brad Garrett voices one of the Communiverse officials.

Domee Shi previously directed Turning Red for Pixar; Elio marks her return to the studio's feature lineup. The film follows a kid who spends his whole life feeling out of place and then ends up in a situation where being out of place is literally the job. Stream Elio (2025) online on iFILM.
