Peter Sohn is more than just an animator, voice actor, and director. The talented Pixar employee's gregarious nature even inspired the character Russell from Up. His latest film, Elemental, is out in theaters today, and serves as a loving tribute to his late parents. 

Quote: “Whatever else it is—a parable about immigration, a technical effects achievement, a weathered survivor of the pandemic—Elemental is a naked expression of Pete Sohn.” —Tim Greiving

54-year-old director and current TikTok trendsetter Wes Anderson returns to his home state of Texas with his latest movie, Asteroid City. Despite being Bill Murray-less, the film feels like a return to form with a stacked cast of stars, including Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson. 

Quote: “Asteroid City orbits enough of the director’s established and obsessive pet themes—family, loneliness, theatricality, gadgetry, grief—that it surely comes from an honest, personal place.”—Adam Nayman
