A first art of the film reveals that we will have at least two protagonists, a woman of fire and a man of water, who live together in a city where people represent themselves through the different elements of nature, which influences their personalities and character.

They realize they have more in common than they thought, and little by little they discover who they really are and what they must do to find their place in the world.

Here, the elements are not only people, but water, fire, earth and wind have even combined with buildings and houses to create an extraordinary world full of color and magic.

The cast of Elemental:
For now, no announcement has been made about the actors who could give life to the characters, and beyond the two protagonists, it is not known who the characters that are part of this story are.
What is Fireboy and Watergirl about?
The story follows Ember and Wade, a couple from a city where the inhabitants of fire, water, earth, and air live together. "The fiery young woman and the young man who goes with the flow are about to discover something elemental: how much they really have in common," says the first Pixar synopsis. This confirms that we are going to see another existential and human story, as has happened with the studio's previous films (Soul, for example, talks about transcendence, death and the importance of taking advantage of the time we have).
The point of the story is to show that, although we are very different in appearance, style and personality, we all have more in common than we imagined and, deep down, we are the same and want the same things.
According to Pixar, the film is inspired, in part, by Sohn's childhood in New York. “My parents emigrated from Korea in the early 1970s and built a busy store in the Bronx,” says the director. “We were among many families who ventured into a new land with hopes and dreams, all mixed in a huge salad bowl of cultures, languages, and beautiful small neighborhoods. That's what led me to ELEMENTAL - Fireboy and Watergirl.” “Our story is based on the classic elements: fire, water, earth, and air,” adds Sohn. “Some elements blend together and others don't. And if these elements were alive?
Before Elemental , Pixar introduced the film tells the origin story of Buzz Lightyear, called Lightyear, but it was not as successful as expected.
