“Elio” is a Pixar animated science fiction movie about an eleven-year-old boy who is mistaken for Earth’s ambassador after he is “beamed up” to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Elio begins to make many friends, with the drama and adventure proceeding from there. Directors Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Adrian Molina did quite a good job in their collaboration, especially with imaginative characters and colorful animation. The screenwriters Julia Cho, Mark Hammer, and Mike Jones turned out a marvelous script for the cast to work from.
The voice cast includes Yonas Kibreab as Elio Solis, Zoe Saldana as his aunt, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Kate Mulgrew, Bob Peterson, Remy Edgerly, Brandon Moon, Jameela Jamil, Dylan Gilmer, Jake Getman, Ana de la Reguera, Matthias Schweighofer, Atsuko Okatsuka, Shelby Young, Brendan Hunt, Naomi Watanabe, Shirley Henderson, Anissa Borego, and Tamara Tunie as Col. Markwell. Carl Sagan appears courtesy of archival recordings. The watchable “Elio” has had modest success at the box office for Pixar Animation Studios, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and The Walt Disney Company.
