Boo from "Monsters Inc.", Baby Dori from "Finding Dori", Jackec-shack from the "incredible", The point of the "Life of Bugs", "Scart from" Finding Nemo ", the title" Wallid-e "-are just some of the most sought-after characters coming from Pixar's animation. But when Elio arrives in cinemas this summer, we will add Glordon the Chipper Space SLUG to this list.

Pixar's "Elio" follows the 11-year-old boy (Jonas Kibreab), who always felt a little out of the country. After his parents died when he was young, he was cared for his aunt Olga (Zoe Saldasha), the Air Force Major, who set his astronauts aspirations to take care of her nephew. Although she loves the moon and back, Elio still feels like a burden, and his only return is the hope that one day he can be kidnapped by foreigners and find a place where he feels a sense of belonging.

So, you can imagine Elio's excitement when he was abducted by aliens and taken to an interplanetary space station known as Communist, Another worldwide space in space that had Pixar using new technology to bring it to life. Of course, Elio enters his head when he pretends to be the leader of the Earth and tries his hand to stand up to Grigon, the military order of the planet Hilurg, who has just been rejected by communication membership (largely due to his aggression and hot temperament). But it is also how he meets his new best friend: Glondon.

Gloddon may look like a frightening lambre, without eyes and mouth full of seemingly infinite rows of teeth, but he is the most sophisticated, most beloved, the most gentle malec, and he has made everyone more frightening than the young loud actor Remi Ederley. Wonderful, friendly in the mood and impatient to use as a bar chip, although it may not fully understand what that means, Glordon will certainly be a favorite character of fans, and bringing him to life was a little challenge.

First, just take a look at Elio's latest trailer for Pixar above to see how cute Glarddon is, especially when he is excitedly identified as a bar chip before pretending to be scared by Elio in front of his father.

During the presentation at the Pixar Animation campus in Emerivil, California, Where we saw about 25 minutes of "Elio" shots, Production designer Charlie Essup said:

"Gloddon was a character in the story of himself, the beginning, and he is one of our absolute favorite. We loved the idea of ​​taking a classically frightening alien being, something that people would instinctively escape and give it to that being the sweetest, the daring person.

As for what inspired Glondon's look, explained Essesup, "Glondon's design was influenced by our larval insect insect study and incredible micro-biotic creatures like the Tardigrad. To find the right balance of disturbing and cute, it was a challenge that it was a cute, but one of it was a cute.

What you may not understand immediately is that Glandon lacks a key feature that most characters have: eyes. So how is the still expressive Glondon still?

Visual Effects Supervisor Claudia Jung Sani said: "The Animation of Glodon's face is very expressive, despite the fact that he has no eyes, a real challenge for the animators."

Instead of eyes, Glondon has a large, expressive mouth, and it also has these small flaps on the back of the head that adds another layer of emotional expression. Animation Supervisor Udeud Braunbil explained how they became a little challenge for aning:

"(Gloddon) has these small caps on his back, and we used those to point out maybe his mood, so they blink when he was excited, but when he hears sound, they would also react. Since he has no eyes, we have a kind of idea he used to know where he was.

Although it added to the personality and expression of Glordon, it also became too much to follow. Animation Supervisor Travis Hathaway explained:

"There were a bunch of tests to see how much we should try to push this in the movie, the idea that," Oh, I hear, where are you? Here you are! "And we found that the more we were paying attention to it, the more it was like," I don't need to know these things. " And the more we just allow these things to be small details that will give you more information without calling them. You just bought immediately that this character has no eyes, but he is alien. He has all kinds of predators visions or whatever he helps to communicate with the world and do not have to explain the details (how it works). "

Plus, the audience will be so caught up in how cute Grardon sounds, and how awkward he is and cute when he climbed through communicating with Elio that they would not be worried about such minor details. If the audience pays attention to such a little thing, then the film probably does not do its job well.

Gete see how irresistible Glordon is when "Elio" hit theaters on June 20, 2025.
