Production on Elemental lasted for seven years, both in the studio and at the filmmakers' homes with the story being finished remotely. The animation tools were utilized to design the visual effects and appearance of each character, particularly Ember and Wade. For research, the production team spent many hours watching point-of-view city tours on YouTube like Venice and Amsterdam for inspiration. Elemental draws inspiration from Sohn's youth, growing up as the son of immigrants in New York City during the 1970s, highlighting the city's distinct cultural and ethnic diversity while the story is inspired by romantic films like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), Moonstruck (1987), and Amélie (2001). Set in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic elements of nature, the story follows fire element Ember Lumen (Lewis) and water element Wade Ripple (Athie), who meet and fall in love after Wade is summoned by a plumbing accident at a convenience store owned by Ember's father, Bernie (Del Carmen).įollowing the release of The Good Dinosaur (2015), Sohn pitched the concept of Elemental to Pixar based on the idea of whether fire and water could ever connect or not. The 27th feature film produced by the studio, the film features the voices of Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Catherine O'Hara. Directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Denise Ream, it was written by Sohn, John Hoberg, Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh, with Pete Docter serving as executive producer.
