One of the most acclaimed animated films of the year, Arco, will be heading to your 4K Blu-ray players in just a couple of months. The Academy Award nominee will be getting an ultra-high-definition physical media release from Neon in early Summer on May 19. According to Blu-ray.com, the Ugo Bienvenu film features the voices of Mark Ruffalo, Natalie Portman, Romy Fay, and Will Ferrell.
The description reads,
“A magical and beautifully animated journey through time, Arco is a dazzling adventure about a 10-year-old boy from a peaceful, distant future who accidentally travels back to the year 2075 and discovers a world in peril.

Our Steve Seigh couldn’t recommend the film enough in his review, giving it a perfect 10 rating and saying, “When looking back at animation in the year 2025, I can’t imagine holding a conversation about it without mentioning Arco at the top of the discussion. As I sit here and think about all the things that make for a perfect animated film, it’s challenging to see any flaws in Arco. I laughed. I cried (three times). I watched the entire movie with my jaw slack, my eyes darting from one color to the next, a fruitless attempt to commit all the hues, shades, and tinctures to memory. I desperately need to share this movie with others, and can’t wait for them to experience the magic of Bienvenu’s film for all it has to offer.”
