Disney released today a teaser trailer for the next Pixar film, "Elio." In the opening first few seconds is what appears to be one of NASA's Voyager probes.

For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers — in Disney and Pixar's all-new movie "Elio," the universe calls back!

The original feature film introduces Elio, an underdog with an active imagination who finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, and completely unprepared for that kind of pressure, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, survive a series of formidable trials and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.

Pixar and the probe: NASA spacecraft in new animated movie 'Elio'

On July 21, 2023, NASA's Voyager 2 interstellar probe stopped communicating with Earth.

Although the spacecraft was more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) away, the event hit close to home for the Disney-Pixar team working on the movie "Elio," which is out today (June 20) in theaters.
