Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental” debuts on all major digital platforms and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD September 26.

Elemental is certainly one of those films that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. A Love story that fills your heart with emotions and it’s a joyful movie with lots of funny moments too! It’s a charming animation movie but I will say it’s a different Pixar movie then what I am used to seeing from them.

I think the kids may enjoy it and adults too, but it just didn’t hit me like I thought it would. I don’t want to spill anymore beans about the film. You will have to see it for yourself.

Film Synopsis

Elemental is an original feature film set in Element City, where residents of Fire, Water, Earth and Air 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. Directed by Peter Sohn (“The Good Dinosaur,” “Partly Cloudy” short), and produced by Denise Ream (“The Good Dinosaur,” “Cars 2”), Elemental features a screenplay by John Hoberg & Kat Likkel and Brenda Hsueh, and stars the voices of Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie as Ember and Wade.
