Elemental Proves Pixar Is at Its Best When Taking Big Swings

Peter Sohn directs the animation studio's ambitious new romantic tale, out June 16.

One way we see this happen is that he’s constantly moved by the wonders and unpredictability of life in Element City, something he compensates for by doing everything by the book. Since he’s a city inspector, that includes writing up the grocery store owned by Ember’s family for multiple violations—a plot point that allows the couple to meet, and also inspires them to team up and investigate evidence of Element City not entirely protecting everyone in its jurisdiction.

It’s still hard to really put into words, but it felt familiar: that daily motivation of not wanting to let your family down for all they’ve done for you, especially when any sort of failure can feel like you aren’t doing enough—even if you’ve overcome the odds by finding yourself existing in spaces you weren’t imagined in. Sohn and his team really put their hearts in this one, giving us another Pixar film that carves out a bold story.
