Couldn't the same argument be made for all kinds of things companies have made open? Some examples:
• Tesla gave away its EV patents.
• Pixar and DreamWorks have both open-sourced some of their tools, including tools used to make some of their best works. For example DreamWorks' MoonRay renderer has been used on everything they have done since "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World", including "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" and "The Wild Robot", and will be used on their upcoming films.
• Facebook open-sourced React.
• Google open-sourced Chromium.
I feel a bit embarassed saying this but, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
I've had issues dealing with the concept of death and this movie helped me more than anything else. The panic attack scenes resonated quite hard and the end message left a lasting impact.
Abstract stories about emotions is good though. Soul was a perfectly good movie.
And if you go over to the anime community, the kids are explicitly liking it because of the random emotional tangents (I'm looking at you Demon Slayer).
And a lot of the reason why people liked Puss in Boots: the last wish, was because of the existential crisis the protagonist faces upon confronting his last life.

I don't think a movie like Elemental would hit very hard after Zootopia locked down the concept near perfectly. It seems ill-timed, we need a few more years to forget Zootopia before giving another rural vs urban different people's city romance with subtle nods to racism story.
I think Dreamworks shows the traditional blockbuster isn't dead look at Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. My kids made me take them to see that 3 times, and each time I thought it was pretty decent for a kids movie.
Disney just isn't making good movies anymore.
