Pixar’s Newest Movie Finally Gets a Streaming Premiere Date (And It’s Right Around the Corner)

by

The streaming service Disney+ has recently welcomed some significant movie additions. These include Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts” and the box office success “Lilo & Stitch.” Next week, it’s Pixar’s turn to have a major premiere on Disney+, and this film could be an exciting find for many fans.

The upcoming adventure titled “Elio” from Pixar Animation Studios is set to stream on Disney+ starting next week, September 17th, as announced by Disney on Wednesday. This marks two months since “Elio’s” theatrical release, with the film becoming available for viewing at home in 4K UHD and Blu-ray eight days ago.

Instead of Lilo & Stitch, Elio didn’t have a blockbuster success at the box office. In fact, its performance was quite underwhelming. Elio managed to gross only around $150 million in theaters, making it one of Pixar’s lowest earning films to date. However, this poor performance wasn’t due to the film being poorly received. On the contrary, both critics and audiences who watched it seemed to adore it. Elio boasts an 84% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 90% endorsement from audiences, indicating that people enjoyed the movie. It appears that for some reason, many chose not to give it a chance in theaters.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that my beloved film, Elio, is now set to reach a broader audience thanks to Disney+. Given Pixar’s immense popularity and the fact that Elio remains relatively unknown to many, it could potentially become a significant streaming sensation.

Over the next month or so, we’ll anxiously await how things unfold. The positive feedback Elio has garnered so far certainly indicates a promising future for its online success. Here’s hoping for a fantastic journey!

What Is Elio About?

For the first time in two years, Pixar Animated Studios has released a new film titled “Elio.” This movie came after the surprise success of 2023’s “Elemental.” The story revolves around a young space enthusiast named Elio, who is captivated by alien life and space travel. In an unexpected twist, Elio finds himself whisked away into space, being mistaken for a global leader. This sets the stage for an unforgettable interstellar journey.

You can check out the official synopsis for Elio below!

Elio, a passionate space enthusiast and imaginative soul, embarks on an extraordinary space journey. Along the way, he forges connections with peculiar extraterrestrial beings, confronts a monumental interstellar predicament, and uncovers his real identity in this adventure.
