It has been revealed that the new Pixar movie Elemental will be the last film to screen at this year’s Cannes Film Festival next month. The film is the 27th Pixar movie and will premiere out of competition on 27th May at the famous Palais on the Croisette.
Providing the voices for the new film are Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Catherine O’Hara, Mason Wertheimer, and Joe Pera.
In Element City, fire, water, earth and air live in perfect harmony. This is where Ember, a fearless and quick-witted young woman with a strong personality, and Wade, a sentimental, fun-loving, go-with-the-flow boy, live. Their friendship challenges Ember’s beliefs about the world they live in…
Pete Docter, Pixar’s chief creative officer, said this year’s return to Cannes is particularly special for the studio. “As we all emerge from our pandemic cocoons and come together in story rooms, animation dailies and impromptu brainstorming sessions, it’s a joy and honor to have Pixar back on La Croisette. Directed by the extraordinary storyteller Peter Sohn, ‘Elemental’ is so funny, full of heart and, frankly, stunning to see. It was created for audiences to experience on the big screen and I love that it’ll make its world premiere at Cannes”.
Docter, director Peter Sohn, producer Denise Ream and the many actors who lent their voices to the characters of the film are expected to attend the festival.
Elemental is set to premiere this coming June in cinemas in the US and the UK.
