UNITED STATES: Elemental, the latest animated offering from Disney and Pixar, has taken the box office by storm, surpassing Encanto and securing its place as Disney’s highest-grossing animated film since the beloved Frozen 2 back in 2019.
Since its release on June 16, Elemental has amassed an impressive worldwide gross of $257 million as of July 12, edging past Encanto’s $256.7 million. However, the film’s journey to success has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
Although it had a disappointing opening weekend, Elemental has since witnessed a remarkable surge in popularity, particularly in international markets. As the film continues to perform well, there is a possibility that it may even surpass Frozen 2’s worldwide gross, but only time will tell.
Director Peter Sohn, known for his work on the Pixar short film “The Good Dinosaur,” expressed his pride in Elemental and his optimism about its future. In a recent interview, he stated, “I’m glad that people are finally starting to see the film. I think it’s a special film, and I’m excited to see how it continues to perform.”
Set in a world where fire, water, earth, and air are living and coexisting elements, Elemental follows the enchanting love story of Ember and Wade, two characters hailing from different elemental realms. The film has garnered praise for its vibrant animation and heartwarming narrative.
Audiences have been captivated by the stunning visuals, although some critics have criticized the film for its predictable plot and lack of originality.
Despite these criticisms, Elemental has managed to capture the hearts of viewers of all ages. Its uplifting message of acceptance and understanding has struck a chord with audiences, while its visually striking animation has provided a feast for the eyes.
As Elemental continues to make its mark at the box office, the question remains whether it will surpass the incredible success of Frozen 2. The film has already etched its name in Disney’s history books as the highest-grossing animated film since the phenomenon that was Frozen 2.
With its positive message and breathtaking animation, Elemental is destined to captivate audiences for years to come.
In addition to its compelling storyline, Elemental boasts an impressive voice cast including Jordan Fisher, Yara Shahidi, Stephanie Beatriz, and James Hong. The film’s music, composed by the talented Ludwig Göransson, who has previously worked on projects like Black Panther and The Mandalorian, further adds to its allure.
