Pixar Animation Studios is famous throughout the world for making some very good feature-length animated films, and it looks like Elio is the latest of these hits. Featuring Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi as the directors (with Adrian Molina credited for the original story concept), this science fiction adventure film is out of this world. Quite literally, really. The titular main character heads outside of Earth for this alien adventure.

Elio SteelBook exploded
Including the ever-so-shiny SteelBook edition.

Thus, it’s no surprise why we’re getting this announcement. Disney and Pixar are proud to announce that they will soon bring Elio to home video. How soon are we talking, you might ask? Well, this latest addition to the Pixar list of hits will be available on August 19, 2025…for digital download. Alas, if you wish to own the physical 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD versions; then you will need to wait a bit longer for September 9, 2025. You can even confirm that in the Abduction Adapt trailer, either on YouTube or just below:

At least the aliens are quite alien indeed.
