Slated for a March 1, 2024, theatrical release, the original story follows Elio (Yonas Kibreab), an underdog with an active imagination who finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the “Communiverse,” an interplanetary organization with representatives from numerous galaxies.

Mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the rest of the universe, Elio must form new bonds with alien lifeforms, survive a series of trials and discover who he is truly meant to be.

America Ferrera voices Elio’s mom, and Jamil and Garrett voice a pair of Ambassadors whom Elio meets on his journey.
