It does! If you stick through Elio's credits, you'll get a mid-credits scene that serves as a sweet button to the film, which centers on 11-year-old outcast Elio (voiced by Yonas Kibreab). Elio wants nothing more than to be abducted by aliens, and luckily for him, he gets his wish. He's whisked away to the Communiverse, an out-of-this-world gathering of alien ambassadors. The ambassadors would love Elio to join them, but there's a pretty big catch: They think he's the leader of Earth. Can he fool them long enough to secure his spot?

Between these scenes, you'll be treated to more gorgeous artwork of Elio's story and of the Communiverse, as well as the names of all the incredible artists who brought Elio to life. You'll also see a Pixar staple: the shout-outs to production babies, which are always a sweet touch.
