Among the Italian voices of Elemental there will also be Francesco Bagnaia :
the reigning MotoGP world champion will play a cameo in the role of Pecco , an air element that recalls the nickname of the motorcyclist, Nuvola Rossa .
Here is the official press release:
Francesco Bagnaia, motorcycle racer and reigning MotoGP world champion, plays a special cameo as “Pecco” in the Italian version of the Disney and Pixar film Elemental . The link between Francesco Bagnaia and his character is twofold: in the film, “Pecco” is an element of Aria that recalls the pilot’s nickname “Nuvola Rossa” and the character was thus named for the Italian version to pay homage to the champion of motorcycling.
As we know, the Pixar animated film is set in Elemental City, an extraordinary metropolis where the elements (in the form of anthropomorphic inhabitants) live together. Directed by Peter Sohn , who directed Arlo ‘s Journey , while production is handled by Denise Ream ; in addition, Pete Docter serves as executive producer.
The Italian release is expected on June 21st . Below you can see the video with Bagnaia .
