Disney Plus is adding a hot new release: Disney and Pixar’s Elemental.
Water, earth, air and fire elements are all in the mix in the original animated film. It centers on a fiery young woman named Ember, who meets a watery guy named Wade. Her friendship with the sappy, go-with-the-flow character “challenges her beliefs about the world they live in,” according to a synopsis from Disney.
Leah Lewis (The CW’s Nancy Drew series) and Mamoudou Athie (Jurassic World Dominion) voice Ember and Wade, and Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur) directs. The film spilled into theaters in June and has a score of 58 on Metacritic. Here’s how you can watch it from anywhere.

Follow the VPN provider’s instructions for installation, and choose a country where Elemental will be streaming on Disney Plus. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you’re connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream Elemental on more than one device, it’s possible you’ll need to configure each one to ensure you’re signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you’re logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you’re ready to open Disney Plus to stream.
If you run into issues with streaming, first make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you’ve followed installation instructions correctly and you’ve picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services have restrictions on VPN access.
