Pixar has unveiled the concept art for its next feature film, “Elemental”, which hits theaters on June 16, 2023. Disney previously had the weekend date reserved for an untitled Pixar film.
Directed by Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur, Partly Cloudy short) and produced by Denise Ream (The Good Dinosaur, Cars 2), “Elemental” 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.
“My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a bustling grocery store in the Bronx,” said the director Sohn. “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.”
“Our story is based on the classic elements—fire, water, land and air,” the director added. “Some elements mix with each other, and some don’t. What if these elements were alive?”
