It might not have set the box office ablaze when it was first released this past June, but Disney\/Pixar’s<\/a> animated sci-fi adventure “Elio<\/a>” has a new course set for home video starting today (Aug. 19) on digital and a 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD physical set coming Sept. 9.<\/p>\n

Directed by Madeline Sharafian (“Burrow”) and Domee Shi (“Bao,” “Turning Red”) in partnership with “Coco’s” Cadrian Molina and Mary Alice Drumm, “Elio” centers on an alien<\/a>-loving adolescent who dreams of one day venturing into the cosmos on extraordinary missions.<\/p>\n
