Does Elemental have a post-credits scene? It’s always a cause for celebration when there’s a new Pixar movie in cinemas. Certainly, we’ve spent some of our happiest hours at the multiplex having a good cry in front of several Toy Stories, a couple of Nemos, and one rat with excellent culinary skills.
Elemental is the latest contender to join the list of the best Pixar movies, tracking a romance between the fiery Ember (Leah Lewis) and the watery Wade (Mamoudou Athie) in a world where the classical elements live together and battle prejudices. With the pedigree of Pixar behind it, it’s one of the best animated movies of the year so far, as we explained in our Elemental review.
The MCU movies and DC movies have taught us to always be primed for more from the best movies when the credits roll. So does Elemental have a post-credits scene? Read on to find out.
