Blast Off! Pixar’s “Elio” Takes Over Disney Springs with New Photo-Op
There’s a new leader of Earth at Disney Springs—and his name is Elio! Guests visiting the AMC Theater will now be greeted by a stellar new photo-op celebrating Pixar’s upcoming film Elio, arriving in theaters on June 20, 2025.
Located just to the left of the AMC near the Coca Cola Store, the vibrant display features Elio and his enthusiastic alien sidekick, Glordon, zooming through space on a glowing cosmic wave. The backdrop bursts with blues and purples, inviting fans to “See #Elio at #DisneySprings.” To the right, the official movie poster introduces even more characters from the film, including the imposing Lord Grigon, the quirky OOOOO, and other curious creatures from the mysterious Communiverse.

The new display replaces the former Lilo & Stitch photo-op in the same spot, bringing fresh Pixar energy to Disney Springs just in time for the summer movie season. But this isn’t the only corner of Walt Disney World that’s gone galactic…
Over in Magic Kingdom, Elio has landed inside the Merchant of Venus retail space, and guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios can catch an exclusive sneak peek of the movie inside “Walt Disney Presents: One Man’s Dream.” There’s even a small art exhibit showcasing concept art from the film. To top it off, an out-of-this-world line of Elio-inspired merchandise is now available at select locations around the resort.

Here’s a peek at the story behind the stars:
In Elio, the universe calls back! When a young space-loving dreamer named Elio is accidentally beamed into the Communiverse—an intergalactic organization of alien worlds—he’s mistaken for Earth’s official representative. With a galaxy of eccentric creatures watching his every move, Elio must figure out how to fit in, make friends, and discover who he truly is.
With direction by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Adrian Molina, and voices from America Ferrera, Yonas Kibreab, Brad Garrett, Zoe Saldaña, Jameela Jamil, and Shirley Henderson, Elio promises a heartfelt, hilarious ride through the cosmos.
