Elio’s Digital & 4K Release Features Deleted Scenes & Gag Reel
Disney has announced the Elio digital, 4K, and Blu-ray release dates for Pixar‘s newest coming-of-age sci-fi adventure movie. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, the movie wasn’t able to perform well at the box office.
“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,'” reads the official synopsis. “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.”
When are the Elio digital, 4K, & Blu-ray release dates?
Elio will be available to rent or own digital platforms starting on August 19. It will then be followed by its 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on September 9. In addition, 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. Since its theatrical debut, the movie has garnered a Certified Fresh rating of 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.
