How to Watch Elemental Online
Here's where to watch Disney/Pixar's Elemental at home.
Elemental legged it out to a fiery $456 million at the global box office since opening in theaters in June, and now the Disney/Pixar movie is wading into living rooms. Directed by veteran Pixar animator Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur), the original feature fizzled when it opened in theaters June 16th with $29.5 million domestically, the lowest-ever in Pixar history. But in one of the best rebounds of the year, Elemental kept its fire burning at the global box office: it's the first original animated film from any studio to reach the $400 million mark since 2017. And now the family-favorite is available to watch at home.
