Elio, Pixar’s newest movie coming June 20, is a sci-fi alien adventure about a lonely boy who has the time of his life after he’s abducted by extraterrestrials. Previous teasers have showed off the funky and gorgeous space world, as well as some of the cool alien designs. But in this new trailer, we finally get to see the alien who becomes Elio’s BFF.
His name is Glordon. He has a slug-like body with many little legs. He also has a big mouth full of sharp teeth (though apparently it’s comfy on the inside). It’s unclear whether he has eyes, but that mystery makes him so much cuter. He and Elio strike up an adorable friendship because they’re both outcasts who haven’t had many friends in the past; Elio always has his head in the clouds (he lays around, eagerly waiting to be abducted), and Glordon’s father seems to be an evil alien overlord bent on taking over the galaxy (and turning Glordon into a great warrior). It’s tough being a kid!
Elio stars Merry Little Batman’s Yonas Kibreab as Elio, with Zoe Saldaña (Guardians of the Galaxy) as his aunt, and Remy Edgerly (Sing 2) as Glordon.
I can’t wait to meet Glordon.
