Last night saw our Secret Screening play out in front of rapt Cineworld crowds. If you've missed the social media buzz, we can tell you that the movie was Disney-Pixar's gorgeously designed new animation Elemental, which hits screens this July.
The movie takes place in Element City where the various elements (earth, fire, water, air) are anthropomorphized and interact with one another. When watery dude Wade (Mamoudou Athie) meets and falls for the fiery Ember (Leah Lewis), it will be the ultimate test as to whether opposites attract.
Here's a small sampling of the reactions from the screening.
Loved it. Brought tears to my eyes!

Typical Pixar film, you know what you’re going to get, a quality animated film that has great characters, an engaging storyline and a charm to it. Worth a watch! :)

It was good solid Pixar. A nice story about being the child of immigrants and finding that balance between respecting your ancestry and carving your own path. Thought the animation was beautiful, the way the Fire and Water elements moved & breathed. Ending was a bit cheesy

Have to admit at first when I saw it was Elemental I was disappointed. Not really my kind of film, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Not the best Pixar film, but its a good film. Funny and emotional. I'd give it 7/10.

Missed the Secret Screening? Don't forget we have two more coming very soon. Secret Screening 5 is on July 8th and Secret Screening 6 is on July 24th.
Of course, we can't tell you what they are – but that's all part of the fun. However, that shouldn't stop you from taking a guess as to what they might be.
Don't forget to tweet us @Cineworld and using #SecretScreening with your movie guesses.
