In this episode of PixMix, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2023 Pixar animated film Elemental co-written and directed by Peter Sohn, the director behind of the 2015 film The Good Dinosaur. In Element City where plants, water, clouds, and fire reside, a young woman of fire named Ember lives with her parents in Fire Town where they run a store called The Fire Place. They wish for her to take it over, but she isn't very good with dealing with customers. One day, her temper causes the water pipes to burst and flood the basement and a young man of water named Wade appeared.
