'Elemental' filmmakers, actors reflect on the 7-year journey to complete Pixar's latest film
When “Elemental” director Peter Sohn and producer Denise Ream first saw their seven years of hard work on the big screen, they experienced what they describe as being similar to parents feeling the prideful moment of watching their child graduate. The filmmakers first saw the finished product at the Stag Theater at Skywalker Ranch in California, where they experienced an overwhelming wave of memories of their time spent developing the movie. Along with animators, Sohn and Ream noted “Elemental” to be the most challenging Pixar film they have ever tackled.
