Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie are discussing their Elemental characters and the upcoming film.
has a Pixar movie focused so directly on a love story between the central couple, drawing inspiration from beloved rom-coms of the past to shape the chemistry between its main characters: Ember Lumen , a young, headstrong fire element, and Wade Ripple , a fun and sensitive water element.
"I mean, this film just leads with love in general," Lewis shared."Because yes, you see Ember and Wade and they love themselves. But then when they come to each other, they learn how to love their own selves in a different way because of being loved by someone else, who is seeing things that they don't get to see."
"Outside of just the romantic aspect, it's like, the family commitments, a familial aspect of it, the debt of gratitude to the parents," Athie explained, sharing how much he can appreciate the film's familial relationships in parallel to his own real-life story."I came to this country when I was five months old, and I owe my parents for everything they did for me to just get over here and live an easier life.
"I mean that family love and that loyalty there, that's basically unshakeable," she continued."It's a self love story. It's a family love story. It just, you know, love is love, love, love, love."
