Elemental was one of Pixar’s biggest films of the last few years, and its impact is still carrying into 2023 years after it left theaters. Collider is happy to partner with Loungefly to exclusively preview new Elemental-themed gear, including a new backpack and a wallet. New images of the gear can be found below, and you can purchase both from Loungefly.com. This mini backpack features Ember and Wade standing together in a heart-shaped front pocket. The bag is divided into their respective colors, orange and blue, fading together into an ombre effect. You'll find symbols of Ember and Wade on the side pockets. Plus, for extra fun, one strap is orange, and the other strap is blue.

This wallet features a vibrant orange-to-blue ombre effect. On the front, you'll find Ember and Wade standing together in a heart. Inside, there are four card slots and one clear slot for an ID. It's the perfect accessory to show off what you love. The new backpack retails for $90 MSRP, and the wallet is available for $42; both are now on sale starting today. More Elemental merch could easily be on the way, too, so be sure to keep your eye on Loungefly.com.

There were some doubts after the opening weekend on whether Elemental was going to be a success, especially after it opened with less than $30 million, but the film put on an impressive display of longevity on its way to grossing nearly $500 million globally. The animated adventure follows Ember (Leah Lewis) and Wade (Mamoudou Athie), Fire and Water elementals who live in a city where all the elements have learned to live together. It’s a beautiful story of found family and acceptance.

Are They Making Another ‘Elemental’ Movie?

Elemental 2 has yet to be announced by Disney or Pixar, but as successful as the first film was in 2023, it’s hard to believe the studio isn’t at least kicking the tires on a potential sequel. Disney has a history of sometimes waiting years to officially announce a sequel, so it wouldn’t be all that shocking if Elemental 2 was announced sometime in the next few years. Still, it’s unlikely the film, if it even comes to fruition, will be on the big screen anytime before 2028.

Check out the Elemental-themed wallet and backpack from Loungefly above and stay tuned to Collider for more Disney and Pixar updates and coverage.
