Elemental (Pixar - June 2023)

[dreday3]

We purchased it on Prime.

Thanks! I just looked. It's $20 to buy it but can't rent yet.

We will wait.

Does anyone know when this will be available on Disney +? Or any streaming?

thanks!

Probably mid to late September

It's actually an interesting question as to whether they will stretch out the windows more and delay the appearance on D+. With Elemental having relatively good "legs", it's a good candidate to delay the appearance on streaming for longer as a way to train audiences to not just wait until it is "free" on Disney+

yes, we purchased it for $20, it had extra features and we "own" it.

Just so you have a direct answer, it has not been announced yet on when it will appear on D+.

Disney is trying to retrain audiences to not expect a D+ release right away.

Once announced I'm sure someone will post it here.

I have the patience of a Saint. I just finally watched the last Guardians! I'll wait.

But thank you!

I also think they are going to try and cluster releases around October to further cushion the price increase blow and prevent churn.

Probably Elemental > Haunted Mansion > Indy 5 will all come in a 4 week window around October 12th. There's also a reason their second most popular show on D+ is releasing October 6th (Loki S2).

Wait, this October is the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. I believe they would make its centennial anniversary an opportunity to release these films.

A saw this along with Haunted Mansion today. A really enjoyable film, with all the emotional depth and lush artistry one would expect from Pixar. I’m glad it recovered after its shaky start, and I hope it continues to attract new and return viewers on Disney+.

 

[LittleBuford]

I certainly think the story speaks to themes of love across cultural boundaries; that much is clear from the trailer and implied in my earlier post anyway. It's the Asian/white framing in particular that I was commenting on. I see nothing that specific in the trailer.

Having now seen the film, I must retract this earlier comment, at least in part. The “Fire” people are clearly based on Asian immigrant cultures, and while I wouldn’t say the “Water” people read as white per se, they are certainly meant to be understood as a longer-settled, socially more dominant community.

Pixar is saved! Whee!


Everybody rejoice:

Elemental showed the only worth that it or any work of art has in the minds of Americans: How well it was monetized.

 

[MisterPenguin]

But I speak the truth:

It was a wry commentary on those who dismissed it for what they thought would be a weak BO performance.

As if that's the only criterion on which to judge a work of performing art.

We need to be careful not to play their game.

Fine, never mind then.And it’s not funny!

Not sure about a sequel or a TV show. This was definitely a one-and-done for my kids.

Elemental will begin streaming on Disney+ on September 13, 2023.

huh. I'm surprised they are doing it so early given the "legs" in the box office.

And the proximity to Mermaid's release. Odd timing indeed.

Is it still in theaters? If so, it is strange.
But then again, Puss in Boots was still in theaters when they put that on streaming and it continued to do well at the box office.

I purchased a digital copy of Elemental. I thought it was GREAT!
