Aliens mistake a young boy for Earth’s leader in the animation studio’s latest adventure, a visually dazzling if not-quite-classic entry in its catalog.

"Elio," in theaters Friday, is another of Pixar's seamless combination of engaging story with deep, resonant themes.

Zoe Saldaña and Brad Garrett are among the voice cast for the animated feature about a young boy who, feeling out of place on Earth, dreams of getting abducted by aliens.
