    Pixar and Christopher Nolan films used to be the only movies I’d go see in theatres.

    I haven’t watched a Pixar film since Turning Red, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I wish I could’ve seen it in theatres. I don’t really do streaming services, so it’s Disney’s loss. Instead of buying a ticket, I’m waiting for a free trial or to watch it with someone who’s subscribed.

      There’s only been Lightyear, which I haven’t finished, and Elemental for Pixar movies since Turning Red… so not that many.

      Elemental was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. From the trailers, it looked like it was something I’ve seen before… but it had that Pixar heart and charm. I recommend it.

      Turning Red wasn’t one of my favorites, but it’s coming to theaters in early February if you want to see it on the big screen. Soul (which was fantastic) is out now in theaters and Luca is releasing near the end of March.
