Hey guys, Elemental is finally here! The film has enthralled audiences with its stunning
visuals and is PACKED with easter eggs and tiny details you most definitely missed! So,
sit back, relax, and let's delve into the movie and uncover the hidden details that add depth to
this cinematic masterpiece. Let's start off with the simple Pixar Easter Egg, shall we?
Before we share the many easter eggs, I feel like it is important to mention that Elemental
scored the lowest opening weekend since 1993. This is a pretty big deal considering Pixar
is a company known for its beloved franchises, and a lot of people had big expectations from
Elemental. However, I truly don't understand what some people think is wrong with this film. The
attention to detail was there, the storylines were incredible, the animation was colorful and rich,
and the cast ensemble was perfect. Elemental is Pixar's first original story to be released in
American theaters since 2020's "Onward." The film was released in theaters with
a 76% RottenTomatoes score on opening day. Apparently, some critics think the storytelling
in Elemental was bland. Do you guys agree? Now, back to the easter eggs. Just like
every other Pixar movie, Elemental is filled with numerous Easter eggs and references. The
first one is the A113 easter egg. This reference has appeared in every single Pixar film so far,
and Elemental was no exception. For those not familiar, this is a reference to the character
animation classroom at CalArts, the art school to which most of Pixar's bosses (including Elemental
director Peter Sohn) went. As mentioned, this reference appeared in other Pixar films, including
on Mater's license plate in the Cars movies. In Elemental, however, this detail is pretty well
hidden. In order to see The A113 Easter Egg in the movie, you'll need to watch Elemental solely for
it. On the WetCo transit sign for Element City, you can see three symbols for different train
lines: "A," "H," and "Al." A appears in a circle. H and AL appear in squares. H is the atomic symbol
for Hydrogen and has an atomic number of 1 on the periodic table. Al is the symbol for Aluminum,
which has the atomic number 13. And yes, this is how you get the sign "A113." Didn't I tell you?
The creators of Elemental were all about attention to detail! But did you see The Pizza Planet Truck?
And again, an easter egg that has appeared in almost every Pixar movie so far,
except Incredibles 2. Elemental also showed the Pizza Planet truck. The vehicle made its debut
appearance in Toy Story and has become one of the studio's most used easter eggs. In Elemental,
you can spot the Pizza Planet truck in the background of a scene in the middle of the
film. It's the scene where Ember's mom Cinder goes after her to Wade's family's apartment.
When Cinder is outside, the truck can be seen parked behind her. There it is! Okay,
but what was the deal with all those Brand Name References?
A lot of Elemental's easter eggs are linked with popular product names, which makes sense because
most of the film takes place in a store. But yeah, it was funny to see the candies on sale
with the name "Sparkburst" (instead of Starburst), "Twig" (as an alternative to Twix), "Juicy Flame"
(instead of Juicy Fruit), and "lightfinger" (instead of Butterfinger). And then, we have
the Cereals brands, which are even funnier. Fire Smacks appears as an alternative to Honey Smacks.
Eagle-eyed fans managed to spot Frosted Flames instead of Frosted Flakes and Shredded Wood
instead of Shredded Wheat. My personal favorite is the "Dr. Diesel" soda, which is placed instead of
Dr. Pepper. We really have to stop here in order to share more easter eggs because if we share all
easter eggs from the store, we would have to do a 3-hour-long video. But did we miss any name-brand
alternatives that were worth mentioning? Let us know before we continue with the Elio Easter Egg
If there's something I'm looking forward to it's the upcoming Pixar film, Elio.
A film about a space-obsessed boy that has trouble fitting in until he ends up in, yes,
you guessed it, space. There, the aliens welcome him thinking he's some sort of Earth's leader,
aka ambassador. Pixar is known for including an Easter egg for the next movie in each new
release. So, we kind of expected them to include an Elio easter egg in Elemental, considering Elio
will hit theaters in 2024. The Elio easter egg can be spotted in the scene where we see a short
flashback to Wade as a child when he was trapped in a sponge at school. In the background, viewers
can see a poster that reads "Join the Space Club." The poster includes a planet with tentacles,
and it is the same poster that's been used by Pixar for Elio's marketing. Isn't that amazing?

And now, I need help from you. Did some of you manage to catch the Mysterious Elio Character?
Apparently, this is an easter egg that every one of us missed. One of the Elemental's Easter
eggs introduces an Elio character, but we still don't know who that is. Producer Denise Ream did
an interview with Eman's Movie Reviews before the release of the film and revealed that a
character from the upcoming movie is hidden somewhere in Elemental. Well,
considering there will be a lot of unique-looking aliens in Elio,
it is really difficult to find this character. Did you guys see someone that looked like
it belonged to Elio's universe? Let us know. Next on our list is the Flagstone Tires Detail
The Cars franchise was also mentioned in Pixar's Elemental, and this is not the
last reference to this incredible franchise that we'll see in Pixar movies. Interestingly enough,
Elemental includes a nod to Flagstone Tires. At one point during the film,
the Flagstone Tires can be seen in the stadium for the Windbreakers and Cropdusters' game.
For those not familiar, Flagstone Tires is a sponsor shown in the Cars movie. Next,
we're going to talk about The Good Dinosaur Easter Egg
Peter Sohn is a long-time Pixar employee, and thanks to him,
there's a Good Dinosaur easter egg included in Elemental. Sohn had his directorial debut with
the 2015's film. There are actually a couple of Good Dinosaur easter eggs in Elemental. The
comic at The Fireplace clearly has Arlo on the cover, and a poster for The Good
Elephant can be seen at the movie theater. Elemental also Paid Tribute Ralph Eggleston
A tribute to Ralph Eggleston seems like a necessary thing,
and the creators knew they had to include a nod to the amazingly talented Pixar art
director and production designer who died in 2022 from pancreatic cancer. There are
actually six people to whose memory "Elemental" is dedicated, Eggleston
and Pixar employees Thomas Gonzales, Amber Martorelli, and J. Garrett Sheldrew and Peter
Sohn's parents, Yung Tahk Sohn, and Hea Ja Sohn. Eggleston was the one who gave Peter Sohn his
first job at Pixar, and thus Sohn was able to work on "Finding Nemo." The tribute to Eggleston
appears on a sign reading "Eat at Ralph's. Two cents." "The joke is that Ralph was such a film
encyclopedia. He just knew every movie. And if you asked him about a new movie, he would sort
of complain about it and say, 'That's just my two cents'," Sohn said, per a report by Screen Rant.
"So, we have that little love in there for him." And last but not least, did you spot Dug from Up?
Everyone who went to see Elemental in theaters was also able to watch a new Pixar Short that
serves as a continuation of Up with Carl and Dug. However, Dug from Up also appears in Elemental.
Pixar found the best way to include the adorable character. In Elemental, Dug is able to change
his fur to grass, and he is a pet to one of the Land people. Director Peter Sohn confirmed to EW
that the dog is Dug. That's a wrap on our exploration
of the details you missed in Elemental, guys. We hope you enjoyed uncovering the
hidden layers of this intriguing film. Stay tuned to our channel for more hidden gems from
