Just as Onward and Turning Red turned their directors’ formative years into imaginative fantasy concepts, Elemental seems to be a similarly personal work for Sohn. “My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a bustling grocery store in the Bronx,” he says in a press statement. “We were among many families who ventured to a new land with hopes and dreams – all of us mixing into one big salad bowl of cultures, languages and beautiful little neighborhoods. That’s what led me to Elemental. Our story is based on the classic elements—fire, water, land and air. Some elements mix with each other, and some don’t. What if these elements were alive?”

Elemental is due to arrive on 16 June 2023 – though it’s currently unconfirmed whether it’ll be yet another Disney+ release for Pixar, or a cinematic release like Lightyear. It’ll be the only Pixar film to arrive next year, with two as-yet-untitled projects to follow in 2024. Meanwhile, Lightyear is just a month away – currently due to hit cinemas from 17 June.
