You might be wondering if Elio is available to watch at home yet. Here’s all you need to know:

What is Pixar’s Elio about and age rating?

The brief synopsis on Disney Plus reads: “An alien-obsessed boy finds himself transported across the galaxy and mistaken as Earth’s leader.” It has a rating of 6 plus on the app, meaning it is available for children - but perhaps not very little ones.

Is Pixar’s Elio on Disney Plus yet?

At the time of writing, Elio is not available to watch on Disney Plus yet. The movie released in cinemas on June 20 and it did not have a simultaneous release on streaming.

During the pandemic a number of Pixar films - including Luca, Soul and Turning Red - went straight to Disney+. However the most recent releases such as Inside Out 2 and Elio have been exclusive to cinemas initially.

Disney has not yet set a date for when Elio will be available on streaming - or at home in general. Expect more details in the coming weeks and months.

The movie giant’s most recent films have stuck more firmly to the 90 day theatrical window. Moana 2 sailed into cinemas in November last year and did not arrive on Disney Plus until March of this year, for example.
