The trailer for Pixar's upcoming Elio is here to take us on an intergalactic adventure.

The film centers on a space fanatic named Elio (Yonas Kibreab), who desperately wants to be abducted by aliens. Why? He has a mole in the exact shape of the Orion Nebula, so that has to be a sign.

Luckily for Elio, his dream is about to come true. He's beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from planets across the universe. When Elio claims to be Earth's leader, he finds himself interacting with a whole host of new life forms — and maybe having to solve an intergalactic crisis or two along the way.

Elio hits theaters June 13.
