Ember and Wade couldn't be more opposite (or less attracted) in Pixar's Elemental
This touching tale is set in a city where the residents personify each of the elements; water, fire, air, and land. Ember is a passionate and fiery go-getter while Wade likes to take things as they come and go with the flow. Some elements mix better than others and as they face their differences they begin to see just how much they have in common.

What to know
The Good Dinosaur director Peter Sohn helms Elemental – his second Pixar movie
Elemental is an upcoming animated film by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studio. It is the 27th animated feature produced by the studio.
Elemental is directed by Peter Sohn, known for directing The Good Dinosaur in 2015. Sohn drew inspiration for Elemental from his own immigrant background. His family moved from Korea in the 1970s and he grew up in the melting pot of the Bronx. The mixing of many cultures is what led him to the idea of a city that is home to different elements living and working side-by-side. Long-time Pixar collaborator Denise Ream is a producer for Elemental, while acclaimed composer Thomas Newman composed the score.
Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie voice the Pixar movie's main characters, Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple. The pair are joined by Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Mason Wertheimer, Wandi McLendon-Covey, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pera, Matt Yang King and Innocent Ekakitie.
