What Is "Elemental" About?

According to Variety, “Elemental” follows two characters, Ember and Wade, as they navigate living in a city surrounded by characters of conflicting elements: land, fire, water, and air. The two couldn’t be more different – Ember’s sign is fire, while Wade’s is water – but they soon discover that they have more in common than they thought.

What Inspired "Elemental"?

“Elemental” director Peter Sohn, known for directing Pixar’s 2015 film, “The Good Dinosaur,” said in a statement that the inspiration for “Elemental” came from his own experience growing up in New York. “My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a bustling grocery store in the Bronx,” he said (via Deadline). “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 neighbourhoods. That’s what led me to ‘Elemental.'”
