Elio: What to expect?
The story of the animated movie revolves around the life of an 11-year-old scientist, named Elio Solís (Yonas Kibreab). Elio goes through various incidents in his life while struggling to make his mark and trying to fit in with the rest of his classmates.
Later on, he somehow manages to discover the idea behind getting transported to space and becomes close friends with the aliens, which includes Glordon (Remy Edgerly). However, the adventure in his life takes a drastic turn when aliens accidentally start identifying him as the Earth's official ambassador.
Besides Kibreab and Edgerly, the voice cast for the movie also includes Zoe Saldaña, Brad Garrett, Brandon Moon, and Jameela Jamil.
Saldaña has voiced the character of Olga Solís, who is Elio's aunt, in the movie. Sharing her personal working experience, she said in a clip to People, "There's been a common theme in a lot of the choices that I've made in my career in the last year: It's to be a part of stories that dance around the theme of grief".
She added that since she lost a parent at the mere age of nine, she can "certainly sympathize with Elio a lot more than I can sympathize with Olga."
The actress went on to say that there were a few moments in her life when she felt that she "just couldn't fit in, no matter what I did."
