BURBANK, CA (August 12, 2025) – Take your family on an interstellar adventure with Disney and Pixar’s Elio on August 19 via digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home and September 9 on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD.
The latest chapter in Disney and Pixar’s storytelling legacy will fulfill your sense of wonder about outer space when alien-obsessed Elio Solís suddenly has a close encounter of the intergalactic kind. After trying everything to contact extraterrestrials, Elio is thrilled when they not only respond, but beam him up to their cosmic “Communiverse”. Imagine his surprise when other planetary powers-that-be assume he is the leader of Earth! Elio’s experience in the Communiverse not only expands his horizons but teaches him how important it is to build connections with loved ones back on Earth.
Disney and Pixar’s Elio is “fun and full of heart and humor!” (Scott Mantz, KTLA-TV) and will be spectacular in both sight and sound in home-viewing with 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Digital® visuals and Atmos® audio. The digital and
Blu-ray offer hours of exclusive bonus content including astronautic and artistic featurettes plus a gag reel, deleted scenes, and a peek at Pixar’s Easter Egg inclusions. The 4K UHD will be available in a collectible limited edition SteelBook® with astronomically appealing artwork and packaging, displaying the beauty and wonder of Elio’s adventure, along with a couple of his new extraterrestrial friends.
