Pixar Elio Released on Digital, 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD

Pixar's animated film 'Elio,' which follows an 11-year-old boy mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to an intergalactic organization, faced disappointing box office results upon its June theatrical release but is now positioned to reach a broader audience through home viewing. The film became available for digital purchase and rental in 4K Ultra HD on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV starting August 19, with physical releases on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD scheduled for September 9, including a Limited Edition Steelbook. 'Elio' explores heartfelt themes such as grief and self-discovery while featuring innovative animation using Pixar's new Luna lighting technology. Despite production challenges, including a change in directors and cast adjustments, the movie received positive critical reviews and offers special features like behind-the-scenes content, deleted scenes, and interviews with voice actors. The film is expected to arrive on Disney+ later in September or early October, requiring a subscription to stream. The home release includes multiple audio formats and collectible packaging, providing fans with a rich viewing experience that highlights the film’s emotional depth and imaginative sci-fi world.
