At CinemaCon 2023, Disney noted the company will actually be putting out at least one movie from each of its major studios: Marvel, Walt Disney Pictures, Disney Animation, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight and Pixar. Among the upcoming Disney movies is Pixar’s big outing Elemental, a new story directed by Peter Sohn (who also played Lightyear's scene-stealing Sox) and inspired by some of the best romantic films. Disney unveiled the first 20 minutes of Elemental in sharp 3D and honestly it's fire, pun intended.
Director Peter Sohn told CinemaBlend and other outlets a few weeks ago that Elemental is inspired by his own parents’ immigration story to the United States. We’ve now seen a huge chunk of the film and were also able to see some of the influences Sohn has sewn into the film, pulling from his own memories. But first let’s talk about the 3D because it was wow, wow, wow.
