Pixar and Disney have shared a trailer for the new movie. According to the official description, Elemental transports viewers to an unusual place called Element City , where a lot of elementals live and work.
The trailer showcases each elemental – air, earth, water, and fire, and what sets them apart. Ember, a bright and fiery woman who has always stuck close to the City of Fire , finally steps out of her comfort zone to explore a spectacular world born from the imagination of Pixar filmmakers. Element City is inspired by big cities around the world and includes contributions from every elemental community – from giant pine-like buildings to a tornado-shaped arena called Cyclone Stadium .
Elemental hits theaters on June 16, 2023.
Pixar and Disney are also revealing additional voice cast members for Elemental . Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie are joined by Ronnie del Carmen as Ember’s approaching retirement father, Bernie; Shila Ommi as a love-seeking mom, Wendi McLendon-Covey as Wade’s turbulent and Air-Ball-loving boss, Catherine O’Hara as Wade’s welcoming mom, Mason Wertheimer as admiring earthbound neighbor Ember, and Joe Pera as an overgrown city bureaucrat.
Peter Sohn directed Elemental from a screenplay by John Hoberg, Kat Likkel and Brenda Hsueh.
My parents immigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a thriving grocery store in the Bronx. We were among the many families who set out for a new land with hopes and dreams – we all lived in a neighborhood full of different cultures, languages and beautiful little neighborhoods. This is what led me to Elemental . Our story is based on the classic elements – fire, water, earth and air. Some even mix with each other. What if the elements actually led separate lives?
Sohn said during an interview in May 2022.
