Elio Bu-ray release

Pixar’s latest cosmic adventure has announced its jump from cinema to the living room. Elio arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and as a limited-edition SteelBook on September 22.

The film follows daydreamer Elio Solís, a boy fascinated by the possibility of alien life. His wish comes true in spectacular fashion when he’s unexpectedly beamed up to the “Communiverse” and mistaken for Earth’s leader. What begins as a wide-eyed space fantasy soon turns into a story about connection, identity, and finding your place in the world.
