This franchise is 5 for 5 in my opinion. I really enjoyed this. Solid 9/10 for me.

I think summer days will help Elementals and it will leg out nicely
Agreed. If the reviews are there, it could be a good go-to for families.

The Cannes screening will help generate buzz.

However one advantage it does have is that I suspect it will likely be the family animation holdover of July as I don't expect Kraken to have any staying power and Across will likely be hit harder by the action tentpoles.
An advantage it'll only have if the reviews are strong enough. Perhaps also that it could have stronger legs than The Flash from week to week.

They're confident that word of mouth will be strong enough to carry this through a crowded summer.

The last couple of weeks have really shown the difference between Iger and his predecessor.

Maybe one more brief trailer, but not more beyond that.

It's definitely a risk to premiere it three weeks earlier than general release but they've probably done more than enough test screenings at this point to be confident it's a winner, and everyone who's seen early footage has been pretty enthusiastic about it.
Even if it is a gigantic miscalculation I personally would rather my hopes be dashed earlier than deal with that anxiety all the way until release, but I'm pretty sure Pixar knows what they're doing here.
My hope is that they ramp up the marketing, promos, and tie ins in May.

I assume this is probably going to be a huge critical win for Pixar (95%+ RT, 8+ average score, 81+ Metacritic) if they're willing to premiere this at Cannes, because it would really suck if the reviews for this ended up being closer to Onward or Luca than say, Coco, Soul or even Turning Red. Then you would have three weeks of critics saying that it isn't among the better Pixar films... and that wouldn't be great.
The only other Pixar films to get a Cannes premiere were Up, Inside Out and Soul (would have screened there if they had Cannes in 2020).

I'd like to see them adapt Super Mario Land and/or Super Mario Galaxy for the sequel.

Disney has been in Florida before Ron DeSantis, and they'll be there long after he's gone, too.

And Disney isn't even phased by any of this.

Hm...he's not really thinking through what shutting down Disney World will do to Florida and his election chances.
Like what's the end game? Hurt Disney? Yeah, he might be able to do that. But anything done to Disney World hurts Florida more.
He's a petty man child who can't let things go.

Could be helpful if word of mouth is strong enough.

Marketing for this should ramp up soon.

Neat. If Disney is smart, they'll consider a major push in May after Guardians 3.
