I feel like Disney dropped the ball putting this movie out in June. So many strong options for the movies this month. It was a really good movie, but July seemed like a better month to drop.

I didn’t even know it was out yet.

What isElementalAbout?
Pixar’s 27th movie centers on “tough, quick-witted and fiery” young woman Ember from Firetown, “whose friendship with a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in.”
Producer Denise Ream previously shared, “It’s a story about relationships — between Fire and Water, between parents and their kids, and between all of us and our neighbors who might not look like us. It’s part comedy, part family journey, and part culture clash.”
According to Pixar, the film is also inspired by “big cities around the globe,” and the film “embraces theorized contributions from each elemental community — from giant pine-tree-like buildings and waterfall skyscrapers to a tornado-shaped arena called Cyclone Stadium.”
Elemental wasreleased on June 16th, 2023, by Disney and Pixar and is in theaters now.
