Photos: “Elio” Preview Opens as Part of Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
An exclusive sneak preview of Pixar’s latest animated feature Elio is now playing inside Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The preview for Elio has temporarily taken over for the “One Man’s Dream" film inside the Walt Disney Presents attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This is the first time a movie preview has taken over Walt Disney Presents since the release of Wish in November 2023.
Before entering the theater, guests can see a plethora of concept designs, art and maquettes from the production of the film.
The preview itself is 8 minutes long and begins with an introduction by Yonas Kibreab (the voice of Elio) and Zoe Saldaña (Elio’s aunt, Olga), before showcasing Elio’s abduction by aliens from the film and scenes showcased in the trailer.
