14-year-old rising star brings Pixar's 'Elio' to life
Briefly

Pixar's latest animated film, 'Elio,' releases on June 20 and follows 11-year-old Elio, voiced by Yonas Ascunsion Kibreab, who feels like an outsider on Earth. His desire to escape leads him on a thrilling journey through the galaxy, meeting unique alien creatures that help him discover his true place in the universe. The film aims to resonate with children who struggle with belonging, emphasizing the importance of being oneself despite societal pressures. Kibreab hopes the story inspires viewers of all ages.
Elio can relate to a bunch of different kids who maybe feel like they don't belong somewhere and don't really have any, many friends and are finding their place to belong.
The moral of the story is to really just be yourself. Don't be afraid of what people think.
