June is a really huge month for films with releases like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Flash, and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Pixar is going to be throwing their cap into the ring with Elemental, and we have a new clip from the film.
Check this out:
The clip is essentially an expansion of a scene we see in earlier trailers with Wade (Mamoudou Athie) trying out some fiery nuts (?) from Ember’s (Leah Lewis) dad. We know how the scene ends, but the clip contextualizes the scene by revealing that Wade is (or is at least pretending to be) a food inspector.
With last year’s Lightyear not being able to pull an audience like Pixar was expecting, the studio is coming back to an original movie with Elemental. With more recent entries like Turning Red and Luca being all about friendship and family, it does seem like Elemental is going to be tackling a full-on romantic relationship, and it seems like the movie’s theme is going to be something about interracial relationships.
I guess we’ll just have to wait for the film to release to find out for sure.
Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental,” an all-new, original feature film set in Element City, is where fire-, water-, land- and air-residents live together. The story introduces Ember, a tough, quick-witted and fiery young woman, whose friendship with a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in.
Elemental releases in theaters on June 16.
