Watch Elemental: Synopsis
Pixar's latest animation is a tale as old as time. In fact, it's almost Shakespearian. When fire element, Ember Lumen (Leah Lewis) and water element Wade Ripple (Mamoudou Athie) cross paths during a plumbing incident at Lumen's family-owned store, the pair fall in love. Opposites attract, and while society tells them they shouldn't work, they might just go against the odds. Finally landing on Disney Plus, we explain how to watch Elemental online right now where you are.
After Bernie (Ronnie del Carmen) and Cinder Lumen (Shila Ommi) immigrate to Element City, they face a less than warm welcome from their neighbors. Still, they endeavor to build a life for themselves, opening up a convenience store called the Fireplace. When Bernie retires, he intends to pass over control to their daughter Ember, but before she get a handle on her fiery temper.
Cue a test run running the shop that ends in an exploded water pipe. When city inspector Wade rocks up, he reluctantly comes to the conclusion this is a violation and could see the Fireplace shut down. What unfolds is a surprising relationship founded on difference rather than similarity.
A charming tale that delves into darker themes of immigration, xenophobia, and interracial relationships, Elemental City is home to all the elements (fire, water, land, and air) – but they don't necessarily always live in harmony. Now available to stream on Disney Plus, find out everything you need to know and watch Elemental from the comfort of your home now.

CinemaBlend's Elemental Review
CinemaBlend's Dirk Libbey awarded it 4/5 stars and said:
"People falling in love in animated films is certainly nothing new; it happens all the time. However, we're never seen a major animation studio like Pixar produce such a purely romantic film as Elemental. And yes, you will cry."
