☆ How ‘Elemental’ Breathed Life Into Fire, Water, Earth and Air
  + stars: | 2023-06-20 | by ( Mekado Murphy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A woman made of fire falls for a man made of water. The filmmakers behind the new Disney/Pixar movie “Elemental” knew the story they wanted to tell. They encountered plenty of challenges and took a few wrong turns as they worked on this romance-adventure that anthropomorphizes earth, air, fire and water. “Like these families of copper living next to helium, but don’t trust them because they’re gassy,” he said. Below is a closer look at what went into developing the visual style for each element.

☆ New Pixar film 'Elemental' opens weak for Disney
  + stars: | 2023-06-18 | by ( Lisa Richwine | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
The opening figure for the United States and Canada fell shy of box office forecasts and ranked among the lowest ever for a film from Pixar, the acclaimed animation studio behind "Toy Story," "Finding Nemo" and other classics. "Elemental," a story about overcoming outward differences, added $15 million overseas for a global total of $45 million, Disney said. The film opened in just three major international markets and will expand to other countries in the coming weeks. Pixar is looking to rebound from the box office disappointment of its 2022 release "Lightyear," the origin story of "Toy Story" hero Buzz Lightyear. The movie brought in an earthbound $226.7 million in global ticket sales, a fraction of the $1 billion take for 2019's "Toy Story 4."

☆ How 'Elemental' star Leah Lewis handles rejection and imposter syndrome in Hollywood
  + stars: | 2023-06-18 | by ( Jennifer Liu | In Jljenniferliu | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Leah Lewis is only 26, but she's already spent more than half her life trying to make it as an actor. In "Elemental," Lewis voices the lead character Ember, a fire-type living in a world where residents embodying fire, water, air and land co-exist in Element City. For Lewis, it's one of a handful of bigger roles she's landed in a few short years. Even when I landed some kind of success with "Nancy Drew," "The Half of It," now "Elemental," I think, "Are you sure?" I've done the work, and the work really leads me to feel like I'm not like faking it.

☆ There are 2 types of people in a workplace, says Pixar director—this is the better teammate
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Jennifer Liu | In Jljenniferliu | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Peter Sohn never wanted to be a director, but after a 23-year career at Pixar, he's at the helm of his second feature — and it's his most personal work yet. Sohn went on to graduate from CalArts and worked at Disney and Warner Bros. before landing a job at Pixar. The two types of people in a workplaceThe biggest key to his success in building a long-lasting career at Pixar is learning "how to present yourself in a collaborative setting," Sohn says. "So much of the job in animation is about working with a lot of people, because this stuff is painstaking." Throughout his career, he's come to realize there are two types of people in a workplace: Ladder-climbers, who view projects as ways to get ahead in their own careers, and knife-sharpeners, or people who are critical and honest to help sharpen each other's talent to get better.

☆ Disney's Pixar seeks return of box office magic with 'Elemental'
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Dawn Chmielewski Lisa Richwine | Dawn Chmielewski | Lisa Richwine | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The movie is projected to debut with a modest $31 million to $41 million this weekend in the U.S., according to the Box Office Pro website. That is well shy of the recent $120.5 million haul for Sony’s critically acclaimed animated hit "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." Pixar is looking to rebound from the box office disappointment of 2022 release "Lightyear," the origin story of "Toy Story" hero Buzz Lightyear. "Judging Pixar on the recent past, history would not be kind," said SVB MoffettNathanson media analyst Michael Nathanson. But the move dealt a blow to creatives who had hoped their films would be seen on the big screen, according to one Pixar director who spoke on condition of anonymity.
