‘Elemental’ Director Peter Sohn Says “Culture Clashes” And Family Love At Heart Of Disney/Pixar Movie – Contenders Film: The Nominees


'Elemental' director Peter Sohn says “culture clashes” and family love are at the heart of his Disney/Pixar movie: Contenders Film - The Nominees.

“The seeds sort of started,” the Disney/ Pixar vet added of his own Korean family story that birthed the Oscar-nominated toon. Having debuted Out of Competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May, Elemental was released wide in June to a steady drip of box office success and acclaim. With voices by the great Catherine O’Hara, Nancy Drew alum Leah Lewis, The Get Down vet Mamoudou Athie and The Goldbergs star Wendi McLendon-Covey, among others, and a score by Thomas Newman, the film is a case of much more than opposites attracting, it is opposites finding their true selves.
