    Press Release BVHE Press Release: Elemental (2023) (4k UHD Combo) (Blu-ray)

    Even though you're right that it says that, I would be very surprised if they actually authored different discs for different retailers. The various store exclusives Disney has done recently seem to be packaging variations. I know retailer exclusive bonus discs have been done in the past, but...

    According to this advance review, some of the items listed in the press release -- "Paths to Pixar: The Immigrant Experience" and a couple of those deleted scenes -- are missing from the disc. They might be included as digital exclusive extras.

    For anyone who wants it, Best Buy has put the steelbook back up for pre-order as of when I'm posting this. It had previously been available for shipping only around the time that the disc was first announced. Then it was listed, but the order button was greyed out as "coming soon" for a while...

    The film will be accompanied on Disney+ by a making-of documentary called "Good Chemistry: The Story of Elemental." https://www.cartoonbrew.com/streaming/elemental-disney-plus-september-13-documentary-232310.html This continues Disney's recent annoying pattern of NOT including the documentary...

    Someone somewhere could say that about most movies.

    I'm sure that's what they want to do. The digital release is going to be available tomorrow and it looks like it is going to be $19.99. Even the standard Blu-ray without 4K will cost more than that. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was $27.99 on regular Blu-ray on the day it came out. So...

    The notable thing about Disney deciding to treat 4K releases in this manner is that it will eventually significantly restrict the availability of the 4K disc. Retailer exclusives like Best Buy's steelbooks don't remain in print constantly. A certain number are produced around the title's...

    I could be wrong, but I think Disney is doing the thing they've been doing this year and using the 4K as an exclusive for the retailer exclusives that you posted earlier. Best Buy has the steelbook, Walmart has a lenticular cover and Disney Movie Club has the keepcase version. Disney also did...

    Carl's Date was originally planned to debut on Disney+ as another episode of the Dug Days shorts that have been previously released there. Then Pixar decided to put it in theaters with Elemental instead. It definitely feels like something they could have left off here to direct to the...

    This movie is delightful. I would recommend it unreservedly. I'll definitely be going after that steelbook.
