The film centers on 11-year-old orphan Elio Solís (voiced by Yonas Kibreab), whose greatest dreams come true when he's abducted by aliens. He finds himself in the Communiverse, a group of the universe's greatest alien minds, all of whom believe he's Earth's leader.

By the end of the film, Elio makes a fast friend in alien Glordon (voiced by Remy Edgerly). He also gets an offer to be Earth's ambassador to the Communiverse, even though his fellow ambassadors know he lied. However, Elio realizes that his place is on Earth with his Aunt Olga (voiced by Zoe Saldaña).

However, as the mid-credits scene shows, Elio hasn't totally lost contact with his alien friends. The mid-credits sequence shows Elio and his new (human) friend Bryce (voiced by Dylan Gilmer) fiddling with their ham radios on the beach. Elio is wearing Masters of Ham gear, suggesting he's found even more friends in the ham radio community. As he and Bryce work with the radios, they manage to contact Glordon, proving his and Elio's friendship is alive and well.

Elio's end-credits scene teases 2026's Hoppers.

Far later, at the very, very end of the credits, Pixar gives us an end tag that hints at its next movie, Hoppers. In this end tag, a lizard repeatedly types a lizard emoji into a phone, with a text-to-speech reader saying "lizard" with each push of a button. So, how does this texting lizard tie into Pixar's next film?

In Hoppers, scientists have found a way to "hop" their consciousnesses into lifelike animal bodies in order to communicate with animals. Animal lover Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda) decides to use this technology to hop into a beaver body and try to get animals to help stop Mayor Jerry's (voiced by Jon Hamm) environmentally destructive construction project.

"It's kind of like Avatar, but cuter," Pixar's chief creative officer Pete Docter told journalists at a June 5 presentation in New York City.

During the presentation, Docter also screened footage of Hoppers, which featured a scene where Mabel and the Elio end tag's lizard try to communicate with Mayor Jerry using text-to-speech. Looks like we can expect a lot more animal emojis in Hoppers.

Elio is now in theaters. Hoppers hits theaters March 6, 2026.
