Set in Element city where fire, water, air and earth people live together, Ember meets Wade and the pair team up in a bid to save her father's shop from closing down.
After a sluggish start at the box office, Elemental went on to be a big hit with families over the summer, and it's arrival on Disney+ couldn't come soon enough.
