About Elemental Movie
-
- On May 16, 2022, Pixar made public the announcement of their new movie, Elemental, with the anthropomorphic classical elements of fire, water, air, and earth.
-
- Director Peter Sohn pitched the concept to Pixar to develop Elemental based on the idea of whether fire and water could ever connect or not. He also stated that the portrayal of Element City was inspired by many earlier live-action films, such as Roman Holiday.
-
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in which most of the production took place, the production team of the film was unable to travel to these cities for research, so they spent many hours watching POV city tours on YouTube to get inspiration for Element City.
-
- The film took 7 years to make both in the studio and at home.
-
- According to story artist Jason Katz, the team finished their story while working remotely from home. Similarly, Sohn had tears in his eyes when completing.
-
- The treasure of the film was released on November 17, 2022, and the trailer was released on March 28, 2023.
-
- Elemental is the first original Pixar film to be premiering directly to theaters in 3 years since the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas the last 3 original Pixar films such as Soul, Luca, and Turning Red have only premiered directly to Disney+.
-
- On February 16, 2023, following the commercial failures of Lightyear and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Strange World (both 2022), Disney reportedly considered extending the theatrical windows for both Elemental and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish in hopes of bringing families back to theaters.
-
- The first thirty minutes of footage of the film were shown during an early press event at the studio on March 28, 2023. It was positively received by critics for its worldbuilding, animation, and characters. The first twenty minutes of footage of the film were previewed in 3D at CinemaCon on April 26, 2023. It was positively received by critics, who appreciated it’s tackling themes of racism and xenophobia head-on of the movie.
-
- This is Pixar’s first film where the amount of PG-rated films that the studio has exceeds the amount of G-rated films that they have, which are at 13.
- Elemental debuted out of competition as the closing film at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on May 27, 2023, where it received a five-minute standing ovation, and was released in the United States on June 16 in RealD 3D, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema formats. Despite opening below projections, the film ultimately became a sleeper hit and grossed $484.2 million worldwide.
