- Disney-related fan websites noted that the company just didn't put much promotional muscle behind "Elemental," leaving it to flounder, much like Disney's winter release "Strange World."

為了逃避愛，我們能有多拼命？！ (The Lengths We Go To Avoid Love)
- For the love-scared among us, we are constantly at work taking careful steps to ensure that any relationship we are in will flounder. We pick partners with an element of built-in obsolescence about them, some reason why in the end a relationship with them isn't going to be able to work out, people who just happen to be living on another continent or who are married to someone else or are impossibly distant to us in age. We beg for love from people who, as we know in our unconscious, are guaranteed not to want or be able to give it to us. We complain repeatedly that people we are involved with don't love us properly.
對於懼怕愛情的人來說，我們總是在小心翼翼地採取措施，以確保我們所處的任何關係都會失敗。我們挑選的伴侶都有一種內在的過時因素，都有某種原因說明與他們的關係最終不會有結果，這些人碰巧住在另一個大陸，或者已經與別人結婚，或者在年齡上與我們相差甚遠。我們乞求從那些人那裡得到愛，而我們在無意識中知道，這些人肯定不想要或不能給我們愛。我們反覆抱怨與我們交往的人沒有好好愛我們。
