In Elemental, fire, water, earth, and air folk reside semi-harmoniously in the magnificent metropolis of Element City. It’s against this dazzling backdrop that sparks fly between hotheaded young woman Ember (Leah Lewis) and go-with-the-flow guy Wade (Mamoudou Athie). Directed by Peter Sohn (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Good Dinosaur, and the voice of Sox in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lightyear), it’s Pixar’s first o🉐riginal film to hit cinemas since the pandemไic.

"We knew it was going to be hard. We didn’t know it was going to be as hard as it was," producer Denise Ream tells in the latest issue, which feat⭕ures Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on the cover, of a project that tested the limits🍷 of Pixar’s technical teams. 

The key ch♌allenge was the fact that Ember isn’t on fire, she is fire, and the same goes for all the elements, 𒁃requiring unprecedented collaboration between the animation and effects departments. "We had character-based effects in every single shot. It required a different pipeline," Ream notes. 

The numbers speak for themselves: whereas Finding Nemo utilized 923 computer cores to render its state-of-the-art visuals, and Toy Story a mere 294, Elemental had over 🅘151,000.
