Elemental has all the makings of a fun animated Disney summer release. While it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between a Pixar release and a Disney release, Elemental comes to us from the studio responsible for Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and Inside Out. It features an intriguing story that will take us to a world populated by anthropomorphized elements (earth, air, fire, and water), one which promises to have every digital frame packed with the spectacular animated beauty that Disney is well known for.
The movie is at least going to be a big hit with your children, so it’s understandable to want to know where you can watch Elemental online. The good news is that because this is Disney we’re talking about, a company that generally sticks to the norm for digital and physical media releases, we have a pretty good idea of when you’ll be able to watch this animated children’s movie from longtime Pixar creative Peter Sohn.
Elemental will be in theaters worldwide on June 16th, 2023. Like any Disney marquee summer blockbuster release, you can expect that Elemental will be in theaters for approximately 45 days. This has been Disney’s trajectory for all of their biggest releases since last year. From that point, the movie will most likely make its way to digital purchase or rental around July 31st, 2023 before it lands on streaming services.
The fact that Elemental is being released by Disney makes it easy to figure out where the movie’s going to land for streaming services. You can expect it to be on Disney+ approximately four months after the release of the film on digital and physical media.
Will there be a physical media release for Elemental, however? More likely than not, but there’s rarely a guarantee that even the biggest movies are going to receive a release on Blu-ray and DVD. But this is a Pixar release, so again, it’s more likely that you’ll be able to buy a copy of movies around the second or third week of August.
About Elemental
Elemental is the 27th film released by Pixar, beginning in 1995 with the groundbreaking Toy Story. All of their films have been distributed by Disney, with Pixar’s role in the company evolving dramatically over the years. The film represents the studio’s continued efforts to be at the forefront of digital animation, without losing sight of story and characters that theoretically aspire to appeal to the whole family.
The plot of Elemental is an opposites-attract story, in which a passionate young fire elemental named Ember crosses paths with a cool, agreeable young water elemental named Wade. United by their desire to find a place in the world, and by their need to reconcile the challenges they face in their familial relationships, Elemental suggests a story of friendship with some degree of romance. It also looks to follow the current Disney trend of animated films in which the younger generation looks to simultaneously love and distance themselves from tradition and unreasonable parental expectations.
There’s a lot of storytelling potential in such themes, and Elemental will have an opportunity to prove audiences young and old haven’t grown tired of the subject.
