Peter Sohn, who will direct Pixar’s 2023 feature Elemental, will transport fans to a city where fire-, water-, land-, and air-residents live side by side.

[p a p i]

Can't wait for D23. 

[Dingdong]

I’m convinced this will be good, but just hopefully not a rehash of their previous movies.

 

The Good Dinosaur is so damn underrated. I’m don’t think any eyes were left dry when the dino and the boy had to separate in the end.

Pixar just ain't what it used to be.

Look, if you liked Good Dinosaur , fine,..I did not,, first time I though a Pixar film did not give me my money's worth ( I thoughg Cars was a step down, but is still had enough good stuff to make me fell I had not wasted the price of a ticket) but fact is it was the first big box office failure for Pixar. A lot of people did not like it as well as you did.

And, of course, you need to seperate your own likes and dislikes when talking about the finiancial aspects of a film.

Uhh k.

What's your point?

We have no idea how Elemental will do at the box office yet.

Doesn't have much to do with this movie tho. 

 

There's many reasons for why The Good Dinosaur did poorly in both quality and commercially, and Peter Sohn is hardly one of them. 

 

He was just a co-director in TGD, the director which owns the idea didn't know what to do in the third act, they kick him from it and the movie was dismantled and basically remade from scratch with a lot of people working on it simultaneosly to finish it in barely a year, from John Lasseter to Lee Unkrich, the whole Pixar team was involved.

 

Sohn ended up as director because he was already more attached with it, but the entire production itself was chaotic because of Bob Peterson.

 

It's very hard to use this situation against Elemental, everything seems completely different, and despite Lightyear mess Pixar has been in a great shape both critically and with audiences for years now, this could very well ended up being great. The commercial aspect will depends more if Disney will manage to break the attachment they made linking Pixar with D+ these past years.

yeah that's the problem.

I'm not convinced that Lightyear failed for any reason other than looking like a mediocre, boring movie.

I am not making comparasions between Good Dinosaur and Elementals, just reacting to somebody who stated GD was underrated.

I will have to see a lot more about the film before any judgements. Could be another Pixar Dissapointment, could be another "Inside OUt". Time will tell.

[AniNate]

They didn't say anything about the financial prospects, just that Good Dinosaur is underrated (which it is).

 

Can only hope the public's sensibilities line up more with Sohn's this time

[JWR]

Hoping they reveal more about this at D23 this weekend.

If for nothing else, this movie is going to look gorgeous.

[YM!]

 

We won. A theatrically exclusive Pixar rom com with two POC as the leads, I’m hyped.

[Morieris]

I like how it looks and the casting, but it still seems predictable to me with things like "can't touch each other" and "opposites react". We'll see.

[Eric Atreides]

 

[ThomasNicole]

They showed a trailer for this, great reactions on social media 

 

Someone said the colors are really vibrant and impressive, i´m interested 

 

Inspired by the director experience as an asian in america 

 

 

 

 

[AniNate]

I obviously am optimistic for this as the biggest Good Dino apologist here.

 

Was hoping we'd hear who's scoring but I guess that isn't always of casual fan interest (or maybe they just haven't decided yet)
