Watch: A young boy races to save the galaxy in final 'Elio' trailer
May 27 (UPI) -- Disney and Pixar released a final trailer for Elio, an upcoming animated adventure about a young boy who finds himself at the center of an intergalactic conflict.
The trailer, released Tuesday, features Elio, a space-obsessed 11-year-old, being sent to camp by his overwhelmed mother after being caught skipping school.
Elio is abducted by aliens and soon finds himself mistaken for Earth's leader among the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization.
The boy finds himself in over his head when he volunteers to negotiate on behalf of the Communiverse in a conflict with a dangerous alien warlord.
"Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be," the film's official synopsis reads.
The voice cast includes Yonas Kibreab, Remy Edgerly, Zoe Saldana, Brad Garrett, Jameela Jamil and Shirley Henderson.
Elio releases in theaters June 20.

Beauty announced Wednesday it will acquire Hailey Bieber's three-year-old beauty company Rhode for $1 billion. "This powerhouse alliance between E.l.f. Beauty and Rhode is built on both brands' shared focus on disruption and product innovation, setting the stage for transformative global expansion," E.l.f. Beauty said in a news release about the acquisition of the company known for its high-performance, skin-focused products. The 27-year-old model, who is married to pop singer Justin Bieber, in 2022 launched Rhode. The company has more than doubled its customer base over the past year and brought in $212 million in revenue in the 12 months ended March 31. Last year, Rhode became the No. 1 skincare brand in earned media value with 367% year-over-year growth. The acquisition comprises $600 million in cash and $200 million in stock, plus an additional potential $200 million payout based on Rhode's performance over the next three years. The cash consists of fully committed debt financing of $600 million. They plan to close the deal by the close of the company's second quarter of fiscal year 2026. E.l.f's brands include e.l.f. Cosmetics, E.l.f. Skin, Keys Soulcare, Naturium and Well People. "We can't wait to bring Rhode to more faces, places, and spaces," Bieber said in a news release. "From day one, my vision for Rhode has been to make essential skin care and hybrid makeup you can use every day. Just three years into this journey, our partnership with E.l.f. Beauty marks an incredible opportunity to elevate and accelerate our ability to reach more of our community with even more innovative products and widen our distribution globally." She plans to step into an expanded role of Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation for the new company. "I look forward to leading the brand into this exciting new chapter of possibilities alongside my Co-Founders Michael D. Ratner and Lauren Ratner, who have helped bring my vision to life from the start," she said. E.l.f. Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin told CNBC: "I've been in the consumer space 34 years, and I've been blown away by seeing this brand over time." In a news release, Amin said: "E.l.f. Beauty found a like-minded disruptor in Rhode. Rhode further diversifies our portfolio with a fast-growing brand that makes the best of prestige accessible. We are excited by Rhode's ability to break beauty barriers, fully aligning with e.l.f. Beauty's vision to create a different kind of company. Rhode is a beautiful brand that we believe is ready for rocketship growth. E.l.f. shares declined about 4% in extended trading in the New York Stock Exchange. After the market closed at 4 p.m., the company also posted fourth-quarter financial data: $332.7 million revenue and 76 cents adjusted earnings per share over nine months. About 75% of its products come from China, which has been slapped with a 30% duty on exports to the U.S. Last week, the company announced plans to raise prices by $1 on Aug. 1 to offset higher costs from tariffs. Hailey Bieber is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and her maternal grandfather is Brazilian musician Eumir Deodato. She married Justin Bieber in November 2018 and they have one child, who is 9 months old. Justin Bieber is 31.

Movies to see this week: 'John Wick' marathon, Laurel & Hardy, 'The Hidden Fortress'
The summer movie season is upon us. While there are plenty of Marvel, Mission: Impossible, Karate Kid reboots, and live-action Disney remakes to occupy your evening, there are also some splashy repertory epics on screens right now. Here are the repertory movies playing around the Twin Cities this week. Wednesday, May 28, at Heights Theater Some of Alfred Hitchcock's most iconic films have scenes that burn so brightly in memory that they stand in for the entirety of the film and can obscure their overall greatness. North By Northwest can feel that way. Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) gets mistaken for a government agent by a group of spies. It looks like a simple case of mistaken identity, but things go wrong over and over, pulling him deeper and deeper into danger. That includes falling for Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint). It's tense and delightfully frustrating every step of the way, especially if your memory of the movie is a bit obscured by its iconic plane scene. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($19–$19.75) Wednesday, May 28, at The Trylon Cinema With the Cannes success of Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, a reimagining of High and Low, we're probably in for a spate of renewed interest in that Akira Kurosawa classic. For now, play at being too cool for the obvious pick and catch another masterful collaboration between Kurosawa and his favorite actor, Toshiro Mifune. Two peasants (Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fujiwara) discover a general (Mifune) and a princess (Misa Uehara) hiding in a fortress with a hoard of gold. The peasants, fresh off the failure of another money-making scheme, are convinced to aid the general and princess in sneaking through enemy territory and back to safety. It's entertaining and beautifully shot. First-time viewers may also find that there are more than a few ways that George Lucas took inspiration from Kurosawa's film for that little-known space opera he released in 1977, which is going to play at this same theater in June. (Also, the Trylon once released a shirt with Mifune's face on it, so it's obviously the perfect place to see this one.) 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis (free for members, $8 for a member's guest) Thursday, May 29, at Heights Theater The 12-movie collaboration between director Billy Wilder and screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond may be one of the most fruitful partnerships in the history of Hollywood. It gave us comedy classics like The Apartment and Some Like It Hot, as well as the more serious The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and underappreciated comedies like The Front Page and One, Two, Three. Among that latter category is The Fortune Cookie, a goofball comedy that, like many of Wilder's films from this era, starred Jack Lemmon with his longtime foil Walter Matthau. Harry (Lemmon) is a sideline videographer at a football game who gets bowled over by star player Luther "Boom Boom" Jackson (Ron Rich). Harry's crooked lawyer brother-in-law, Willie (Matthau), convinces him to feign an injury in hopes of a fat payday. But Luther's insurmountable guilt has Harry second-guessing the scheme. It may not rank among The Odd Couple or Grumpy Old Men as one of the best Lemmon/Matthau movies, but this was their first of their 10 on-screen collaborations and is just a notch below those classics. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($13/$13.75) Friday, May 30, at The Parkway Theater One of Alfred Hitchcock's earliest films — his first thriller and arguably the first to give a glimpse of the director's penchant for tension — was a silent film about a Jack the Ripper-style murderer (Ivor Novello) slinking through London streets at night. A live soundtrack will accompany the screening, with Paris 1919 performing a new composition by bandleader Chris Strouth. He'll be joined by Natalie Nowytski, Kent Militzer, and David J. Ross. 4814 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis ($20.21/$23) Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, at Heights Theater The Heights' annual screening of Laurel and Hardy classics returns, showcasing digital restorations of six of the comedy duo's short films. This year's lineup includes 'Another Fine Mess' (1930), 'Men o' War' (1929), 'Going Bye-Bye' (1934), 'Perfect Day' (1929), 'Dirty Work' (1933), and 'Hog Wild' (1930). If this is your cup of pratfalls, get tickets in advance. Sunday's screening sold out quickly, pushing the Heights to add a Saturday screening. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($15/$15.75) Saturday, May 31, at Oakdale Cinema Who knew that the death of a dog would result in so many movies? About a week before the release of Ballerina, a stand-alone movie set in the John Wick universe, Emagine is hosting a marathon screening of the first four John Wick movies. For nearly nine and a half hours, the Oakdale Cinema will treat viewers to revenge, gun battles, neon lights, and a cadre of well-drawn hitmen. Fortunately, they're not bringing The Continental into this. You probably have to Google that miniseries to remember what it was, and that's probably all you really need to know about it. 5677 Hadley Ave. N, Oakdale ($28.12) Tuesday, June 3, at Alamo Drafthouse Arriving the same year as George A. Romero's third zombie opus, Day of the Dead, The Return of the Living Dead got in on mocking zombie movies early. The story is that two buffoons at a medical supply facility accidentally release a gas that raises the dead. The medical supply guys, the local mortuary owner, and a bunch of punks wind up trapped together in the midst of a zombie attack that they don't really understand. It's all played as a very knowing elbow to the ribs. The movie even references Night of the Living Dead before deciding that its own plot doesn't mean a whole lot. It's absurd, sometimes funny, and willing to ask, "Why are these the rules of zombie movies"? The zombies can talk, don't die when you hit them in the head, and don't even really have to be dead to be zombies. It's confusing, but the rules aren't the point, nerd. 9060 Hudson Rd., Woodbury ($11.91)More movies screening this week: May 28: Bajo un Sol Poderoso (Beneath a Powerful Sun) (2022) at The Main Cinema, part of the Minnesota Cuban Film Festival May 28: Blazing Saddles (1974) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek May 28: North By Northwest (1959) at Heights Theater May 28: The Hidden Fortress (1958) at The Trylon Cinema May 28: Black Tight Killers (1966) at Emagine Willow Creek May 28: Jaws (1975) movie party at Alamo Drafthouse May 28: The Apartment (1960) at Edina Mann Theatres May 28–29: Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted (2024) at The Main Cinema May 29: Switchblade Sisters (1975) at Alamo Drafthouse May 29: The Fortune Cookie (1966) at Heights Theater May 29: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) at Emagine Willow Creek May 29: Twilight (2008) at Grandview Theatre May 29: The Village Next to Paradise (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Images of Africa series May 29: Twisters (2024) at North Loop Green (free) May 29: The Goldfish (2019) at The Trylon Cinema May 30: The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) with live music by Paris 1919 at The Parkway Theater May 30–June 1: Slither (1973) at The Trylon Cinema May 31–June 1: Grease (1978) at Emagine Eagan (June 1 only), Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek May 31: Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) at The Parkway Theater May 31–June 1: The Laurel and Hardy Festival at Heights Theater May 31–June 5: The Boss Baby (2017) at St. Michael Cinema May 31: John Wick marathon at Oakdale Cinema June 1: Labyrinth (1986) at Audrey Rose Vintage June 1: Mommie Dearest (1981) at Roxy's Cabaret June 1–3: Outland (1981) at The Trylon Cinema June 1 and 5: The People's Joker (2022) at Grandview Theatres June 2: The Goonies (1985) at Heights Theater June 2, 7, 11, and 22: Dinner in America (2020) at Grandview Theatres June 2: Popcorn (1991) at Emagine Willow Creek June 2: Stand By Me (1986) at Alamo Drafthouse June 2: $5 Mystery Movie at B&B Theatres Mall of America June 2: Marcus Mystery Movie at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, and West End Cinema June 3: Sabbath Queen (2024) at The Main Cinema June 3: The Return of the Living Dead (1985) at Alamo Drafthouse June 3: Sensational Shorts presents Z-Fest Uncut III at Woodbury 10 Theatre

Fact Check: No, Disneyland isn't moving from California to Texas
Claim: Disneyland is moving from California to Texas. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in late May 2025 claimed Disneyland was exiting California to make an official move to Texas. Searches for this rumor on Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo all featured at the top of their results an article from the Disney fan blog Inside the Magic. That story, published on May 28, displayed the headline, "Disneyland Exits California, Makes Official Move to Texas." Snopes then received a reader inquiry asking if Disneyland truly was moving to Texas. However, the rumor of Disneyland leaving California for Texas was false. Despite the wording of the Inside the Magic headline, the story under the headline simply reported another matter. The article said that on May 27, as part of Disneyland's 70th anniversary festivities, some Disney fans and influencers participated in an event featuring a celebratory hot air balloon in Dallas, Texas. The story also reported that, according to an Instagram influencer, organizers planned to next show off the hot air balloon in Houston. Snopes contacted Inside the Magic by email to ask about this claim and will update this article if we learn more information. The May 2025 rumor of Disneyland moving to Texas wasn't the first time the claim made the rounds. For example, as Snopes reported in 2020, the Uncle Walt's Insider website published an article showing the headline, "BREAKING: Disneyland is abandoning California, moving to Texas." Unlike Inside the Magic, the Uncle Walt's Insider website features a disclaimer about publishing "fictitious" content, as well as a "satire" tag for its stories. Another rumor circulating in May 2025 claimed Disneyland's ownership planned to move to Las Vegas. That claim originated in a May 22 article and TikTok video from Mouse Trap News, which features an "About" page on its website describing its content as "the world's best satire and parody website." The headline of the article read, "BREAKING: Disneyland Is Moving to Las Vegas." The story's author reported Disneyland would close in October and move away from California, supposedly due to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's tax policies. Another Mouse Trap News article from May 26 read, "Disney World Removing All American Flags From Parks." These rumors about Disneyland and Walt Disney World were not true. In the past, Snopes covered other false rumors originating from Inside the Magic's many headlines, including Walt Disney World planning to close a theme park for four days, Disney shutting down the Disney+ streaming service, Disney ceasing all broadcasts of Disney Channel, Disney retiring Mickey Mouse and Universal Studios Florida planning to permanently close.
