I loved how the elements represented the 4 Elements of Spirituality, as opposed to a race allegory. Combined with Soul's All-encompassing Void of Cosmic Energy. the 4 Elements both physically and spiritually comprise the next level of life's building blocks which are found in nearly all cultures throughout antiquity, including the Asian culture showcased.
I loved how the core message was to make connections to treat everybody with respect and integrity, not just on a global-community level, but also the individual/local community, and the Self-spiritual level.
Choosing to showcase how parenting styles of structure and freedom can both be equally toxic for a child, even when the parents are still endearing, was just beautiful! Due to unconditional support and love from day 1. Wade never experienced anything truly genuine. Meanwhile, due to her parents self-made success, and selflessness towards the community they literally founded. Ember never once thought of herself, even though her parents never directly imposed anything on her. Ember gave Wade a genuine relationship. Wade showed Ember how to connect with the world around her. they completed each-other, and by the end, Ember proved to herself she was worthy of her parents legacy, who also in turn affirmed their shortcomings in communicating expectations. I'd never cried in a movie before, but goodness that last scene nearly brought me to tears.
It's just such a wholesome beautiful story of finding yourself, I just love it!

It is actually insane how many people pre judged this movie and wont watch because it looks generic or cliche.
We see this lazy, age old argument for why Elemental and other movies people made pre conceived judgement of is a supposed flop. Simple is good. Not everything needs to reinvent the wheel. Heck, even past Pixar masterpiece movies are conceptually uninspiring plot wise.
- A fish finding his lost son and traveling to Australia? Fighting sharks along the way?
- A superhero with marital issues fighting to save both his family and marriage?
- A rat learns to cook in Paris in a love story between 2 humans? What is the city of Love? PARIS!
- A boy with a single mother (that in itself is extremely cliche) with his favorite toys which gets lost. Said toys desperate to make boy happy again by reuniting with him.
Cliche and being generic is not new. We have always seen this with Pixar movies.
I have no issues people disliking or even hating a movie, but when people use unoriginal, generic or cliche as an excuse to trash a movie, I cant take them seriously. At least use critical thinking.
I honestly cant stand this pick and choose mentality. It drives me insane. Calling any movie a cliche is the biggest copout ever!

I like how this movie was NOT just like Zootopia. The trailers didn't help as they seemed like the movie was going to be focused on Wade and Ember's relationship, but. that was just a cherry on top of a MUCH grander story that, like the previous movies, tackle generational trauma, in this case the fear of inheritance.
This movie takes on the metaphore of immigrants, with the whole of the fire people seemingly taking inspiration from South Asia culture and the famous asian neighborhoods in these huge american cities that gave birth to Chinatown and the Jewish and Palestine districts of New York, to name a few. And again Pixar tackled Generational trauma (which I do hope its the last time, otherwise its gonna get repetitive.
Zootopia is more about the symbolism of races and acceptance, and Elemental tackled the racial issues veeeery lightly, more like a cherry on top when the whole thing was about Ember's dilemma. Her relationship with Wade was just the breaking point for her emotions to finally resurface properly.

Literally just watched this movie, was great up until the very end. When ember is going off to her internship and she's saying goodbye to her parents and her dad says don't worry we'll be here, we'll have more time for hanky-panky. WHAT THE LITERAL F DISNEY MY KIDS ARE WATCHING THIS. so inappropriate. Very very sick. It's for kids and they slip this is? And my nephew asks me what that means. Sick. Just sick.

Hello. I wonder if Disney and Pixar should have made a film about computer mice. Our cat has caught a lot of live mice over the past week, and now I, for one, see how squeaky these pests are. What do you think would be a good title for such a film?

Is the teaser the ONLY one where you found A113?
The scene where Amber and Wade meets again before going to the Stadium, there was clearly a office sign that says A113.
Also the Elio Easter egg, the Space Club could literally be anything.

Id love to see Disney and Pixar do animal-based movies including a movie set in Africa that focuses on African wildlife, an anthro animal movie akin to Zootopia and Kung Fu Panda, and other animal-based movies!

My friend and I went to an advanced screening to see Elemental on Wednesday. We both loved it so much, and it even made my friend tear up at the end of it.
If you havent seen it yet, please do.

I just got out of the theater, and yeah. It was pretty good. This movie, it's character designs, and it's artstyle, are so creative and fun. And the story wasn't half bad either.

I expressed this idea after rewatching the Airball scene. Missed opportunity for an Air Jordan joke. You get the idea.
