Summary

"Elemental" had its world premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival and is now playing in theaters by Pixar. Will Mavity was given the opportunity to go to Pixar studios and interview the film's stars Leah Lewis ("Ember"), Mamoudou Athie ("Wade"), director Peter Sohn and producer Denise Ream. I had the immense pleasure of speaking with the film's composer, 15-time Academy Award nominee Thomas Newman. Together, they all provided deep creative insights into what went into making Pixar's first romantic comedy that also plays as a moving immigrant story. We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look into the making of Pixar's latest animated film. Please take a listen or watch the interviews down below and enjoy! Thank you.
