DISNEY AND PIXAR’S “ELEMENTAL” TO CLOSE 76th ANNUAL CANNES FILM FESTIVAL—“Elemental” director Peter Sohn created this custom art piece to celebrate the film’s inclusion as the closing film of the 76th Cannes Film Festival on May 27, 2023. “After years of crafting this story, creating and realizing characters made of fire and water—effects in and of themselves—and building a brilliant world that is so much a part of all of us, it’s an honor to share these characters and this film in its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival,” said Sohn, who will attend the festival with producer Denise Ream and Pixar’s chief creative officer Pete Docter. Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental” 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. “Elemental” opens in U.S. theaters on June 16, 2023. © 2023 Disney/Pixar.
