"Elemental" is a 2023 American computer-animated romantic comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The story is set in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic elements of nature, and follows the fire element Ember Lumen and water element Wade Ripple. Ember is a tough, quick-witted, and fiery young woman from Firetown, while Wade is a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow water element. The film is directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Denise Ream, with a screenplay by Sohn, John Hoberg, Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh, and executive produced by Pete Docter. The film was presented as the closing-night selection of the 76th Cannes Film Festival and was released in mid-June 2023. The film is notable for being a purely romantic film, which is a first for a major animation studio like Pixar.
