According to the verge report, Pixar provided the first details of its upcoming animated film elemental - including the release date of June 16, 2023** The film is directed by Peter Thorne (representative work "dinosaur at home" and so on). The story takes place in a city full of elements related to fire, water, air and land. The film tells about two characters named ember and Wade, which are composed of seemingly opposite elements.
Here are Thorne's views on the film:
"My parents immigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and opened a busy grocery store in the Bronx. We were one of many families who came to the new land with hopes and dreams - all of us mixed into a large 'Salad Plate' composed of culture, language and beautiful small communities. This led me to join Elemental The reason for this. Our story is based on classic elements - fire, water, land and air. Some elements are mixed with each other, while others are not. What if these elements are alive? "
In addition to the description and timing details, Pixar also released an early concept map to let people feel the visual style of the film. You can see the complete picture below.
The date of June 16 means that elemental will be released almost a full year after the upcoming Lightyear. The true story of Lightyear is a prequel, which tells the story of the origin of Buzz Lightyear. "Lightyear" will be released on June 17, but it is unclear whether "Elemental" will be released in cinemas or add other cartoons, such as "turning red" and "Luca" through online streaming service Disney +.
