By 1981, audiences had been treated to pretty terrific sci-fi spins on archetypal fantasy heroes and blue-collar truckers, so we were due for space cowboys.

Elio is the latest chapter in Disney*Pixar’s storytelling legacy, and tells the story of Elio Solís, a boy with an obsession with outer space, who longs to have a close encounter amidst the stars. After the loss of his parents, Elio is sent to live with his aunt, who is in the military and has aspirations of becoming an astronaut.
