Pixar revealed a first look at its new animated movie Elemental at ♛D23. The footage was shown behind closed doors and has not been revealed online – however, we were in the room, and can rep꧒ort that the movie is visually somewhere between Inside Out and Zootopia.

A sizzle-reel showcased the movie, focussing on the visuals and the two leads, Ember and Wade, who are voiced by Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie, and represent fire and water – you c🍒an see them above. Director Peter Sohn introduced the new Pixar film, explaining that it was inspired by hi😼s parents who moved to New York.

According to the movie's official synopsis, Elemental follows 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. Directed by The🌳 Good Dinosaur helmer Peter Sohn, the movie is inspired by his childhood in New York City.

"My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a bustling gr🐬ocery store in the Bronx," Sohn previously said. "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."

He added: "Our story is based on the classic elements – fire, water, land, and air. Some elements mix with each other, and some don’t.🦋 What if these elements were alive?"

Elemental is set to be released on June 16, 2023. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies on the horizon, this year and beyond.
