Even with Lightyear just around the corner, this morning brings the first details, and title for Pixar’s next movie: Elemental.
As we look forward to enjoying Lightyear, Pixar/Disney are giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Today brings news of Elemental, coming from The Good Dinosaur director, Peter Sohn.
Directed by Peter Sohn (“The Good Dinosaur,” “Partly Cloudy” short) and produced by Denise Ream (“The Good Dinosaur,” “Cars 2”), the film journeys alongside an unlikely pair, Ember and Wade, in a city where fire-, water-, land- and air-residents live together. The fiery young woman and the go-with-the-flow guy are about to discover something elemental: how much they actually have in common.
“Elemental” is an original film inspired by Sohn’s childhood in New York. “My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a bustling grocery store in the Bronx,” said the director. “We were among many families who ventured to a new land with hopes and dreams—all of us mixing into one big salad bowl of cultures, languages and beautiful little neighborhoods. That’s what led me to ‘Elemental.’
Elemental is set to hit theaters on June 16, 2023!
