In the movie "Elemental," the fire people are depicted as immigrants who have created their own community in Element City. The director of the movie, Peter Sohn, is the son of Korean immigrants, but the fire people in the movie are not explicitly made to represent any one specific race or nationality. Instead, they share various traits of a variety of ethnic backgrounds, and their language, "Firish," at turns sounds South Asian, East Asian, and Middle Eastern. The main Fire character, Ember Lumen, is voiced by Chinese American actress Leah Lewis, and Embers father, Bernie, is voiced by Filipino American animator Ronnie Del Carmen. Therefore, it can be said that the nationality of fire in "Elemental" is not specific to any one country or ethnicity, but rather represents a blend of immigrant identities.
