Elemental, the next big imaginative feature from Pixar, is set in a Queens, New York-esque city borough where residents made of fire, water, earth, and air live together in bustling harmony. Directed by Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur), the film finds two residents crossing paths: Ember (Leah Lewis), a “tough, quick-witted and fiery young woman” and Wade (Mamoudou Athie) a “fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy.” According to Pixar, the two will meet and challenge each others’ beliefs. Giving the classic Pixar style new twists for each element, Elemental’s striking teaser sets up the fateful encounter without giving much away.
Truly, I have so many questions. I could very easily sit back, relax, and take in the wonders of Elemental’s brief tease, but consider me activated. I want to know everything about Element City. A few thoughts:
Pixar being Pixar, Elemental will likely answer a few questions, hand-wave away most of the deeper world-building bits with gags that kill, and leave everything else to the imagination. None of us really understand how the cars in Cars talk, but that hasn’t stopped a devout religion from forming around the trilogy. At the very least, Elemental has me wondering how much I absorbed in 12 years of science classes, and making me google “how do lightbulbs actually work” to verify.
Elemental hits theaters on June 16, 2023.
