Dear Pixar Animation Studios,

We, the global community of Pixar enthusiasts, come together to voice our united hope: to witness the release of "Elio" sooner than the announced June 2025 date. The delay from the initial March 2024 release due to the SAG-AFTRA strike has left many of us in anticipation, reflecting on the joy and comfort Pixar films have historically provided.

I remember the first time a Pixar movie touched my life. "Finding Nemo" wasn't just a tale about fish; it was about the boundless love of family and the courage to face the unknown. As a child of a single parent, the story resonated deeply with me, teaching me about resilience in the face of adversity. Like "Nemo," "Elio" promises to be a story that will inspire and educate a new generation about embracing differences and finding one's place in the universe.

Pixar’s history of box office success is a testament to the cultural and economic impact of your work. Statistics have shown that animated films often outperform other genres in return on investment, and Pixar stands out even within this lucrative market. For example, "Coco" and "Inside Out" grossed over $800 million worldwide, underscoring the universal appeal of your stories. The anticipation for "Elio" builds on this legacy, with the potential for not only substantial financial success but also for making a meaningful difference in a time when stories of unity and discovery are needed more than ever.

We understand the complexities of film production, especially in the face of industry-wide setbacks like strikes. However, we believe in Pixar's exceptional capability to overcome these challenges. We urge you to:

Reevaluate the possibility of optimizing the production schedule for "Elio" to facilitate an earlier release.
Keep your global audience informed about "Elio's" progress and explore any opportunity to bring the movie to us ahead of schedule.
Our plea is simple: bring "Elio" to the big screen at the earliest convenience. By doing so, you will deliver not just a film, but also hope and excitement to millions around the world.

Thank you for your attention to this heartfelt request. We await the adventure "Elio" promises and the continued magic that only Pixar can weave.
