Leah Lewis, the star of Pixar's Elemental, hopes a sequel is made. Pixar's Elemental had a surprising box office comeback, earning $496 million globally despite its weak start. Though Lewis is hopeful that Elemental 2 will happen, she has not heard anything yet.

Elemental 2's chances get a hopeful response from Leah Lewis after the Pixar movie's $496 million box office comeback. The animated film explores the budding relationship between Ember Lumen (Lewis) and Wade Ripple (Mamoudou Athie), two residents of Element City who attempt to save the former's convenience store, despite pre-existing beliefs about fire and water. Along with Lewis and Athie, the voice cast of Elemental includes Ronnie Del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Catherine O'Hara, Mason Wertheimer, and Wendi McLendon-Covey. After its disappointing opening weekend in 2023, Elemental maintained a strong hold at the box office, but a sequel hasn't been announced.

In a recent interview with The Direct, Lewis revealed her...

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with Elemental, the Pixar pic directed by Peter Sohn.

Launching with a world premiere as the closing-night film at May’s Cannes Film Festival, Elemental was penned by John Hoberg & Kat Likkel and Brenda Hseuh, based on a story by the writers and Sohn about a fantastical place called Element City, where Fire-, Water-, Earth- and Air-residents live together.

The plot follows the quick-witted and fiery Ember (Leah Lewis), a new arrival to the city whose friendship with go-with-the-flow Wade (Mamoudou Athie) challenges not only her beliefs about the world they live in, but the person she wants to be.

The idea germinated from Sohn’s own experiences; like Ember, he was a second-generation immigrant whose parents moved from Korea to New York City. That starting point helped to form the film’s themes of fitting in to a new place,...

Disney+ Releases “Loki” Season 2 Featurette

Disney+ has dropped a brand-new featurette for the highly anticipated second season of Marvel Studios’ “Loki,” led by Tom Hiddleston.

Watch the “Loki” Season 2 featurette below:

Season 2, which debuts Oct. 5 exclusively on the Disney streamer, will pick up as Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. Along with Mobius, Hunter B-15, and a team of characters old and new, the God of Mischief must navigate “an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes, and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose.”

Hiddleston stars opposite Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Rafael Casal, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, and Neil Ellice. Season 2 will also feature Ke Huy Quan, Owen Wilson, and more.

The six-episode Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ at 6:00 p.m.

The slow-burn life of Elemental continues. The film landed the top streaming debut for a movie on Disney+ so far this year, the streaming service announced Monday. That follows Elemental‘s box office journey, which began inauspiciously with a record-worst opening for a Pixar movie, only for the film to have strong legs and ultimately earn $484 million globally.

According to Disney, Elemental had 26.4 million views — or, to put it another way, viewing time equivalent to that many complete showings of the movie — worldwide in its first five days of streaming. Like its competitor Netflix, Disney+ divides total viewing time by a title’s run time. For comparison’s sake, Disney touted last week that the live-action The Little Mermaid landed on the service with 16 million views in its first five days. The recent episode-one debut of the Star Wars series Ahsoka brought in 14 million over five days. The company did...

The Disney and Pixar film “Elemental” had a strong start on Disney+, with the film pulling in 26.4 million views in its first five days of streaming availability.

Per Disney, that makes “Elemental” the most-watched movie premiere of the year on the service and among the top 10 movie premieres they have ever had. For context, Disney defines a view as total stream time divided by runtime, just like Netflix recently started doing. The film became available on Disney+ on Sept. 13. Disney also says “Elemental” has become the most viewed animated movie premiere since Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red” was released in March 2022, as well as the most-viewed Disney+ movie premiere of all time in Latin America, just ahead of “Turning Red.”

By comparison, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” debuted with 1.625 billion minutes viewed in its first five days of availability on Disney+, which translates to approximately 10.8 million views.

Disney and Pixar announced on Monday that their animated feature Elemental, starring Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie, has scored the biggest movie premiere of the year to date on Disney+, earning 26.4 million views in its first five days on the service.

The result, calculated by dividing total stream time by runtime, positions the film as one of the Top 10 in the history of the streamer, as far as premieres. The flick directed by Peter Sohn is the most viewed-animated feature to come out of Disney/Pixar since Turning Red was released last March and has also notably bested that Oscar-nominated Domee Shi pic with the biggest Latin American Disney+ movie premiere of all time.

Directed by Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur), Elemental is the 27th film from animation studio Pixar, whose films are so reliably emotional that they might as well come with a will-make-you-cry guarantee. True to form, Elemental sticks closely to the Pixar formula, mixing a high concept with a strong central metaphor to tell an extremely sweet love story that’s certain to make you shed a tear or two.

Many of Pixar’s films essentially ask, ‘What if such-and-such a thing had feelings and emotions?”, whether it’s toys in Toy Story or emotions themselves in Inside Out (still one of Pixar’s best). This time round, that concept applies to the elements, namely fire, water, earth and air,...

The Elemental cast features an impressive group consisting of newcomers and seasoned veterans playing characters representing the elements of nature for Pixar's 27th feature film. The animated movie tells the touching story of two young anthropomorphic elemental beings — one is fire, and the other is water — who fall in love despite the prejudices that exist between their people (and obvious practical barriers that come with being made out of fire and water). Like many of the studio's crowning achievements, Pixar's Elemental features a simple plot that is counterbalanced by the studio's amazing storytelling craft and unique visual language.

The unique plot and premise of Elemental is all supplemented by a stellar ensemble of voice talent. Though the cast of Elemental doesn't necessarily jump off the page as a roster of A-list names, many of the actors involved in the movie are experts at their craft and have lent their...

In Elemental fire, water, earth, and air co-exist in Element City, although they live relatively separate lives, with elements never intermingling. However, this all changes when Wade, an emotional water element, and Ember, a quick-tempered fire element, work together to try and save her family's shop. The pair grows closer, and as they spend more time together, unexpected feelings develop that could change the makeup of Element City forever.

Elemental is directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Denise Ream, the team behind The Good Dinosaur. It was co-written by John Hoberg, Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh, with Sohn working closely with them to create the story, pulling from his own life experiences. Elemental stars Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Catherine O'Hara, Mason Wertheimer, Joe Pera, and Matt Yang King.

Screen Rant spoke with composer Thomas Newman about creating music for Pixar's Elemental.

Elemental stars with the four elements of water, air, earth, and fire co-existing peacefully in Element City. However, they live relatively separate lives, with Ember, a hot-headed fire element, and her family running a store in Firetown. When Wade, an overly emotional water element and city inspector, is sucked through the pipes and notes a number of violations, Ember's family legacy is in danger. She and Wade work together to try and save her family's store and slowly grow closer, with feelings developing. Although it breaks a cardinal rule about elements mixing, Wade and Ember's feelings could change Element City forever as opposites attract and create something entirely new.

Elemental examines the age-old question of whether opposites attract. In Element City, air, water, earth, and fire coexist peacefully for the most part, although the elements tend not to mix. Wade, an overly emotional water element, and Ember, a quick-to-anger fire element, become an unlikely duo as they work together to save her family's shop. They slowly learn more about one another, grow closer, and eventually begin to develop feelings for each other. Although this goes against the norm, Ember and Wade's unexpected feelings could change Element City forever.

The team behind The Good Dinosaur teams up once again, with Peter Sohn directing Elemental and Denise Ream serving as his producer. John Hoberg, Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh co-wrote the script for Elemental, but Sohn helped co-create the story with them, with much of it based on his own life experiences. Elemental stars Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen,...

Along the way, they grow closer, slowly falling for one another. Elemental examines the age-old idea that opposites attract, with Wade and Ember potentially changing everything because of their unexpected feelings.

Elemental is directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Denise Ream. Elemental is written by John Hoberg, Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh, although the story hits close to home for Sohn, with much of it based on his own life experiences.

On June 16, 2023, Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios released “Elemental,” which features the voices of Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Catherine O’Hara, Mason Wertheimer, Joe Pera, and Matt Yang King. Directed by Peter Sohn, the film centers on two elements (Ember and Wade) that are literally fire and water, a relationship that is frowned upon in society. The duo works to maintain their relationship despite the expectations of society.

At the 76th Cannes Film Festival, the film was screened for critics to mixed reviews, but those have trended upward upon national release resulting in a Rotten Tomatoes score of 76%. General audiences are more favorable, grading it at 92% fresh. Read our full review round-up below.

Directed by Peter Sohn, “Elemental” brings audiences to Element City, where a host of elements — air, earth, water, and fire — live and work. Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie lead the voice cast as Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple, respectively.

Once again, Pixar Animation is ready to amaze the world with a story with a message about tolerance and acceptance with Elemental, which hits theaters on June 21, but has already wowed Cannes Film Festival attendees.

After the premiere of Turning Red exclusively on Disney + and the not-so-successful passage of Lightyear in theaters, the studio returns to the big screen at the hand of The Good Dinosaur’s director Peter Sohn. Leah Lewis (The Half of It) and Mamoudou Athie (Jurassic World: Dominion) lead a voice cast that includes other big names like Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Mason Wertheimer, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Catherine O'Hara. The story of Elemental follows Ember and Wade, a fire girl and a water boy who live in a world where the elements coexist in the same place, but they should not mix.

The clip begins with Ember, a fire elemental, demonstrating her ability to change the color of her flame body depending on what kind of mineral she's standing on. This encourages Wade to show off a trick of his own, with the water elemental skimming along a pond in order to create a similarly multicolored rainbow.

The wonderful folks at Pixar Animation are ready to unleash their 27th feature with the imaginative "Elemental." Drawing inspiration from director Peter Sohn's youth growing up as a second-generation immigrant in New York City, the film is a celebration of cultural and ethnic diversity, wrapped in a heartwarming romantic comedy. The story is said to be inspired by films like "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Moonstruck," and "Amélie," but is presented in a way that appeals to audiences of all ages.

"Elemental" is also one of Pixar's most ambitious films to date, with producer Denise Ream telling Total Film Magazine, "We knew it was going to be hard. We didn't know it was going to be as hard as it was." As all of the characters are different elements, they all move in entirely different ways. Considering the film showcases an entire city of different elemental folk interacting with one another,...
