The streaming platform announced the arrival of "Elemental", an animated film by Disney and Pixar, and "Carl's Date", a short film dedicated to Dug, the talking dog loved by fans.

A Slow Start Success

“Elemental,” which has already grossed $480 million at the global box office despite a slow start, will be made available for streaming on September 13th. The film has already earned a place among the ten highest-grossing films of 2023, and is now ready to conquer audiences at home.

Element City: A City to Discover

The film, set in the fictional Element City, takes us to discover a community where residents linked to the elements Fire, Water, Earth and Air coexist. In this context, the friendship between Ember, played by Leah Lewis, and Wade, played by Mamoudou Athie, develops, challenging the conventions and beliefs of the two young protagonists.

Behind the Scenes of Elemental

For fans of the making-of, a documentary entitled “Good Chemistry: The Story of Elemental” will also be available. The film explores the personal journey of director Peter Sohn, revealing how the history of his parents, who emigrated from Korea to New York, and his experience in the family grocery store in the Bronx, influenced his choice to pursue a career in 'animation.

The Return of Dug

And for those who can't get enough of Dug, the talking dog turned celebrity, Disney+ will offer the short film “Carl's Date.” In this mini-adventure, Dug helps Carl prepare for a date, with hilarious results. The short is directed by Bob Peterson, already nominated for an Academy Award and winner of an Emmy.

In summary, September 13 promises to be a date to mark red on the calendar for all lovers of the Disney and Pixar universe. Between emotions, laughter and some life lessons, you are truly spoiled for choice.
