Wade Elemental News Today

You probably didn't think Elemental and M3GAN were part of the same Very Important Lesson For Hollywood, but 2023 is a weird time for movies.

Elemental isn't just a riff on Zootopia – it's a movie of very specific emotional and cultural complexity.

'Making this movie, I've been telling people, it just made me ... every time we went to the booth, I'd want to call my family.'

'Empathy and compassion, as simple as those ideas are, are such powerful bridge makers.'

Drawing inspiration from director Peter Sohn's youth, Elemental is a celebration of cultural and ethnic diversity, wrapped in a rom-com.
