Illumination's original feature-length animated film 《Not Alone》 is a sci-fi romantic comedy about Joe, a rocket mechanic who lives alone, and Fran, an astrobotanist who has developed a plant-fueled rocket, becoming a team. The two grow closer as they prepare for the rocket's first launch, but both are inexperienced when it comes to romance. Their plans turn into an unexpected return mission when three small aliens on the run hide in Joe's house. The North American theatrical release is set for April 16, 2027, with a worldwide theatrical release scheduled for the same day.

From Launch Preparations to a Return Mission

The aliens Dunk, Welly, and Shum see Fran's rocket as a way to return home. Pursuing them is Zandro, an enthusiastic but not particularly skilled law enforcement officer. As a result, the rocket project is more than a simple scientific experiment; it becomes the center of a story in which two awkward humans and three aliens must cooperate in the same space.

A New Original Film from Three Directors

Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson, and Jonathan del Val co-direct the film. Timothy Chalamet voices Joe, while Selena Gomez voices Fran. Brett Goldstein, Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, and Jamie Demetriou are also part of the voice cast. The teaser presents a starting point where preparations to launch the plant-fueled rocket coincide with the aliens' escape.
