What happens when a lonely kid becomes the accidental ambassador of Earth?
In this new Annecy 2025 special episode of The Animashow, my guests are Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian, co-directors of Pixar’s latest feature “Elio”, joined by producer Mary Alice Drumm and Pete Docter, Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer and the visionary behind “Soul”, “Inside Out”, “Up” and “Monsters Inc”.. Together, they explore the artistic and emotional journey of making “Elio”, the challenges of building an intimate story on a cosmic scale, and the themes of identity, difference and courage at its heart.
