"A solid story with visual flair". Which, considering Pixar's super high bar, is a very good movie.

Funnily enough, Elemental is now doing better at the box office than it was doing in its first few weeks, when everybody immediately proclaimed it to be a colossal flop. While it's still not exactly a big success for Pixar and Disney, it's not quite as disastrous as, for example Lightyear or even Cars 3. Imo it's a pretty good argument against being impatient and immediately pulling disappointing movies from theaters or releasing them on streaming as quickly as possible.
Btw, could we perhaps pin this thread? Feels a bit weird to me that the threads for Disney Animation and Non-Disney Animation are pinned but this one isn't.

I've heard that it was a big hit in korean theathers because the girl was korean coded and it went off really well in asians markets in general

Puberty in a nutshell.

So wait, Riley had no anxiety until now? Well, lucky her.
-
Yeah, the whole introducing new emotions aspect is a little weird as if to suggest Riley has never felt any of these emotions until now.
Also, isn't anxiety basically a subset of fear?
-
This could be seen as how emotions become more nuanced and complicated as we get older.
Part of the point in the first movie, at the end Riley's memories became a mix of emotions.

No horny??? In a teenager??? c'mon now disney that pious in 2023 is ridiculous

Anxiety said "we" at the end, I'm pretty sure there are more there . . .
-
You can see their names on the part the trailer keep rolling through “your feel _____ movie”
Anxiety, ennui, embarrassment and envy
-
Anxiety is a kind of subset of fear, but the other three are very much their own special feelings. I think teens are embarrassed and anxious every day of their puberty.
Apparently this trailer has also smashed Frozen 2 as the most watched in one day in the entire Disney/Pixar animated canon.
-
Envy isn't an emotion, it's a sin.
Hyuck hyuck hyuck.

A Pixar Musical called Ducks is in development.

Like I said on Discord this reminds me of Brave and that movie is awful.
-
Very strong feelings for only knowing two facts about the film. I’m assuming you’re comparing it to Brave given musicals are what Disney is known to do really well and it seems like Pixar is trying to copy Disney like doing a Princess story.

I mentioned it because Brave was Pixar's "First Princess" and how big a letdown it was.

Trailer has me optimistic. Kinda bummed we’re having yet another girl going through puberty movie after Turning Red, but get the two seem to be going very different directions in their plots.
-
Not the direction I expected it to go in. Not with the new emotions, anyway.
But yes, this and Turning Red are very different stories from different cultures. Just both happen to feature a young girl growing up.
-
This is a very erratic trailer, but hey, it's almost here.

92% on Rotten Tomatoes. I'd call that a pretty good indicator.

Inside Out 2 is also doing great box office wise. Gotta admit, studios pursue continuing successful IPs for a reason. The track record speaks for itself.
