This animated sci-fi adventure, directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Adrian Molina, takes the audience through strange planets, unusual beings, and a boy’s attempt to fit into a role far bigger than he imagined.

Bonus Features In Elio’s Home Release
The home edition comes packed with extra content. Viewers can explore Inside the Communiverse, a behind-the-scenes look at the film’s world-building and characters, join an Astro Q&A with the stars and a real astronaut, watch an Astronomic Art Class with lead story artist Nicolle Castro, and hunt for hidden details in Extraterrestrial Easter Eggs and Fun Facts.
There is also a Galactic Gag Reel and deleted scenes, including Bike Chase, Garden Party, Carver Legend, Questa’s Second Test, and Home Visit. The 4K UHD version will be available in a limited SteelBook edition featuring cosmic artwork.
These additions may give the movie a renewed interest among families and animation fans, providing a richer experience than its initial theater run. The home release could serve as a chance for Pixar’s Elio to find the audience it missed during its debut.
