What I found beautiful was that it's only when Ember and Wade are together that they show they can create something beautiful: Ember creates beautiful glassware, Wade causes a rainbow to form. I think that summed up what a good relationship is all about: Separately you can get along and survive, together you can create true beauty in the world.

Dude. That was a fantastic piece of analysis. You uncovered layers of this film that I didn’t even pick up on, and I already liked the movie a lot. The subtleties elevate the film to be more than meets the eye. It’s a shame that Elemental isn’t doing that great financially. I think it’s MUCH better than people are giving it credit for. For me, it’s a borderline top 10 Pixar film l. I was very pleasantly surprised, and I highly recommend everyone else to give it the support it deserves and check it out

I agree, this does have a lot do with immigrants as well as interracial couples as we are a couple like this. My daughter was a really wanted to go and there are undertones that can also be related to immigrants such as a lot of times they’re treated like fire. My daughter picked up on this there’s also a lot of clash between families, I wasn’t however prepared for the emotional part of it. I have post traumatic stress syndrome and I relate a lot to a lot of the struggle that fire deals with. I thought I was the only one that saw it. I also saw the other ones that you are talking about I just didn’t think iMovie would be that deep.

this movie is honestly so beautiful. i dont exaggerate when i say it is the best movie i have ever seen. 10/10. the story was set up so well they were so attentive to details and it just absolutely stole my heart overall. Wade and Ember are such a cute couple too tbh. when Wade was evaporating i felt like crying it made me so sad and i honestly thought he would stay dead i am so glad he did not it's because i would literally be crying myself to sleep for the next 2 years 💀. whoever directed this did an amazing job. not to mention the animation skills and stuff. you may see critics talking about this but to be completely honest, they just want content to post. this movie deserves much more attention than it has.

I honestly, to my surprise, actually enjoyed watching this movie. While not perfect, it's still very fun to watch; and some scenes were emotional enough to touch me. The animation is unique, the story is good, the music is catchy, and the characters are fun. And the chemistry between Wade and Ember is pretty believable, because it does take its time to develop it - even if you can tell almost right away. And I suppose their personalities almost match their elements: Ember has trouble with her fiery temper, while Wade tends to be a sympathy cryier. To me, Wade and Emver have one of the most realistic relationships in a Disney movie, because while you can tell there is something between them, they still start off as good friends, and confirm their love near the end of the movie; thus becoming a real couple. They say opposites attract, and that's very true in their case - but they also have things in common. The moment when Ember met Wade's family was fun to watch because it showed how far society has come to accepting others; and yes, the game where Wade made Ember cry for the first time was very touching because it what sparked their true feeling for each other. It would have been nice to hear more about Wade's father; like what can of man he was, what he did for a living, and what caused their relationship to drift away. It also would have been nice to see more of Clod, he definitely should of had a bigger role. I also wish they explained more of the crack in the dam - did it just get old, or was it caused by something? The part where Ember and Wade have an argument over their differences, that I also wish could of had a bit more attention. I mean, Ember got her say on how she feels, but Wade never really explained his point of view. Maybe he could have told Ember that just because he comes from luxury, he never truly did what he wanted because of everything his father expected of him growing up - and his dying wish was for Wade to find his own path. Also, Wade could have told Ember that the reason his family has money is because of how much work they put into making a life for their families. Overall, I did enjoy the movie. And I actually thought that Wade died in the end - but it's Disney; they don't do that. And I'm actually glad they didn't. It would have been nice to see more of Ember and Wade's childhood. Maybe have them cross each other's paths multiple times, but never actually interacted. If there's ever a sequel...I'd watch it. Maybe it could be about Wade and Ember getting married and starting a family.

The way the movie was marketed to the "general" public (a.k.a. non-Asians, especially white people) was completely different from how this movie was marketed in Asian-American spaces. In Asian-American spaces, the movie was marketed as a slice-of-life coming-of-age story with elements of romcom and social commentary in there and based on the director's real-life experiences. Disney marketed it as a "pixar romeo and juliet story mixed with zootopia but with elements", which is completely misleading but I think Disney did that because the executives think "no one" (a.k.a. white people) would watch or relate to a movie that has elements that are coded to be non-white immigrants and that no kid would watch a movie that doesn't have a kid or teen protagonist and they thought marketing "Elemental" that way would avoid what happened to Turning Red (which got so much racist and sexist backlash - even before the movie and trailers were released - just because the protagonist was a teenage Chinese-Canadian girl with female teenage friends who was a human for at least 50% of the movie and the movie made zero effort to pander to the male gaze and incorporated real-life experiences from the director and the writers (who are all Asian women)). I could tell from the story that Ember is Asian-American-coded and that the movie is more of a coming-of-age story than a romcom; especially after learning that the story is based on Peter Sohn's life. Such a shame that the movie did bad at the box office because of the misleading marketing and other reasons. Seems like Disney is trying to bankrupt Pixar so it can combine it with Walt Disney Animation Studios.

I can tell they put love and commitment into this, both with the director’s personal story, and the difficulty in animating the characters. Steal The Show is beautiful to hear, the colors pop out of the screen, animation is always great, and the romance between the two is wholesome. Go watch it if you can!

Pixar is trying to bring people to theaters after training families to expect streaming. Just ask around any people with kids, they'll tell you. Elementals however broke the downward trajectory of Pixar; it is now upwards. Usually films drop 50-60% second weekend, Elemental only dropped 35% which is an insanely great number even better than Mario that and the midweek drops being also very small; this means word of mouth is excellent. that is victory for Pixar; it means streaming will make it a lot of money and most importantly families came to see the film and not wait for streaming.

I can't watch this video all the way yet cause I haven't got to see it yet, but from what I've heard/seen of it so far I feel like I'm gonna love this movie. Because of that awful marketing, for a while, it just felt like it was just gonna be cliche and only worth seeking in theaters for the visuals. And so originally I was gonna wait for it to move to Disney + to watch it. But then I listened to its soundtrack and it sounded so bubbly and beautiful, and even really emotional at times. So I started to look into this movie more. And what do I find? So many people talking about just how good this movie is. And it turns out _I never even knew about its actual plot, THATS HOW FRICKEN BAD THE MARKETING WAS_ I'm gonna go see this in theaters on Sunday, so I'll be back to edit this and add my own review to this comment Edit: I just watched it and *oh. my. god. Its soo good!* Yeah it might have the cliche forbidden love story idea but just cause a cliche exists doesn't mean it's bad. As long as it is done right it can make a very well-crafted story, which is exactly what Elemental does. The thing I love about Ember and Wade’s relationship is just how wholesome it is. There's no toxicity, they take the time to have fun with one another, and _they actually care about each other._ [BIG SPOILER HERE] Wade nearly died saving Ember’s life, and even in what he thought were was his final moments, he wasn't even scared. He was admiring Ember’s beauty.. [SPOILER OVER] This movie hit me so hard and I ended up sobbing like Wade by the end of it. 😂 Even if it's not a “Pixar masterpiece”, it's still a very beautiful story with a lot of heart. This is definitely going on the top 10 favorite movies list for sure! :)

Alot of people are gonna say that the theme of race makes no sense seeing as water and fire actually hurt and maybe kill each other but Spoiler Alert That's not true! Wade and Ember hold hands and then some! It's kinda relatable once you think about it. Two different peoples who have little to no interaction with the other find excuses to avoid and screw the other off based on past misgivings. Is this really a grand metaphor on the complexity of racism? Or is it just a reflection on our world where a bunch of poor saps who find a way pretend to be offended and oppressed at every single general action/world based the memory of past mistakes and tragedies that can't really effect them anymore? Can you think of NO ONE who fits that bill?

Fire really don’t damage in a very bad way any element, in the case of earth they burn the leaves, and in the case of Air they make it disappear but they can be rearranged with no dificulty. They are like less compatible with the other elements but they are not really harmful to each other. I liked that.

I gotta say, I've never been more in love with a Pixar story than I am with Elemental. I'd even put it alongside the golden year greats such as Toy Story 2, Monster's Inc, Finding Nemo, and the Incredibles. I'm not even joking, that's how much I loved this movie. It may surprise many to know that I'm a sucker for animated romance movies, which is my favorite kind of animated movie, and the romance in this film feels like something you'd never expect from Pixar. What the main Walt Disney studio is known for, I feel Pixar did way better in a heartbeat when it comes to the romance department. Despite how cliché the movie is as a rom-com, I feel that the story builds and sets it up so incredibly and realistically. Ember and Wade are officially my most favorite animated movie couple of all time. I've gotta be honest and say that I desperately hope that Elemental gets some kind of Disney channel sequel series, so we can explore more of the evolution of Ember and Wade's relationship, as well as build more of the world even beyond Element City. If that doesn't happen, then I've got a lot of fan fiction to write. Lol.

I absolutely loved elemental, I've always been a sucker for the type of differences in forms people have in stories like this, and how it'd be to interact and love someone who is seemingly so different from you that it's almost alien. i loved it's art, the way the flames dance within Embers form, the beautiful waves of the water people's hair, the colors and life and texture in the earth elements thats so vivid you can feel it from the screen. It feels absolutely catered to my interests. I never saw any of the trailers, or watched any videos talking about it since I just thought I'd never get to watch it. My little sister apparently adored the idea though, and convinced mom to take us to the theaters. I absolutely fell in love and still tear up during the movie because of how much emotion it makes me feel. It has to be one of my all time favorite movies, there's no other way I could categorize it.

We met in the university, and we went to a trip together of one day because I needed to go and nobody else could go that day only the two of us. We were not even friends at that point, just had some friends in common, but after we started talking and being in that place we didn’t wanted to split. After the trip ended we went to eat and did a lot of stuff. Later, he needed help with an examen so I studied with him, and that make us an excuse to be toguether more. Some people complain that the romance in this movie is too fast and unrealistic. But that this doesn’t happen to you doesn’t mean is impossible or unrealistic, it is very similar to what happened to me xD. We had chemistry and were comfortable at each other since the beginning, just because.

Lightyear was OK getting 74% critical RT score and that is their worst recently, it was preceded by 3 amazing films all critically acclaimed, all contenders for the Oscars with Soul winning one. Why is one film "Lightyear" dominating the narrative? It's because dropping films to streaming is the equivalent of direct-to-DVD; can you name Little Mermaid or Aladdin's sequels? nope all were straight-to-DVD. That cheapens the brand in our mind, it dampens the shine after being the standard for excellence.

It's sad that this movie bombed. It came from a genioune place of pashion and love of a director trying to tell his own story but sadly it bombed. And now that Pixar has seen people don't care about original ideas all we are goona get is just Toy story 5 and other unneceseary sequels

it's technically true for the entire decription of each element but the ending sentences of each description are pure wise truth. I needed the advice for water especially.
@rendellvalles674910 ай бұрын
I think elementals resonate with those in a relationship wanting to be better for their partners, a relationship where both parties are doing everything they can to make it work and still are in the second stage trying to make it to the third. It's really specific, they got it bullseye for us wanting to love those who we love.

This is how I feel about Strange World. No one gives that movie two cents of positive notice but its sooo soo good and beautiful and resonating and clever. I think similarly towards Turning Red and Onwards. So while Elemental doesn't mean much to me (I thought the story was overall pretty wholesome and pleasant and the visuals striking but the movie was nothing wildly exciting to me) Its really refreshing to see such a happy response to a movie that keeps undeservably getting trashed.

I love this film... maybe because it's a cinematic masterpiece, or maybe just because it's relatable in my case. My fiancé and I are the first "biracial" relationship that has ever happened in my family. I'm not afraid to admit that things were super awkward at first. We met over the Internet, so we weren't even able to physically touch for the first year or so. When we finally met, my family was... judgy, to say the least. That was four years ago. We live together now and he's loved just as much by my family as I am. But honestly this movie resonates with me even more than that. Ember's anger issues are something I can relate to on a personal level, and Wade being a respectful (and also a bit sensitive) guy who's there to calm her down and change her point of view, reminds me a lot of my Kevin. I've watched this movie alone, but I really want to watch it with Kev and the family as well. For me, Elemental goes on the favorites list alongside Wall-E. Glad to have you back on track, Pixar. :)

Elemental's plot is kinda similar to Encanto. Hear me out. In both movies, the two main families move to a new place where they settle in a new home (in encanto it's the casita, and in elemental the fireplace). Both patriarcs prioritize the well being of the place they live in even before family, In both movies there's a symbolic object that they're trying to protect because it's constantly in danger (the candle and the blue flame), both those symolic objects get destroyed, The climax in both movies happens after an argument, both places (the casita and fireplace) get destroyed, the main character feels at fault for what happens and apologizes when non of this was her fault (Ember and Mirabel, and finally, in both movies the main character is trying to fix something wrong that's going on

Didint really think of the movie this way. It was pretty interesting to hear. I recently saw elemental and I really enjoyed it. I love the visuals and world but most importantly I love ember and wade. I really like how they built their relationship and I also like how neither of the 2 big plot points being embers future and her and wades gowing relationship took a backseat to one another. Just like the relationship both complimented eachother well.Also yea steal the show is still in my head.

Finally got to see this last night and came on here to see reviews for it. So glad to finally find someone else who GETS IT!! Everyone I’ve seen so far is like “it’s fine” or “it’s just okay” and I’m here like did we even watch the same movie???? It was gorgeous. The romance was adorable and realistic. The ending “miracle” with Wade was so refreshingly logical instead of being magic bullshit! And I thought they handled the immigrant stuff exceptionally well.

I actually really liked the overall premise of the show. The world was interesting, the people were unique, and it had A LOT of promise in my opinion. That being said.... yeah, it had a lot of things that just seems completely random, irrational, and didn't make sense. This movie could have been SO much better, but for what we got, I don't regret seeing it. Yet at the same time, I can't feel too much of anything but disappointment. They missed SO many good angles that have made this story amazing. From start to finish, I think they could have made this so much better, and more importantly, make actual sense of their actions, thoughts, and decisions. I give MASSIVE points for a unique originality and even making it look so good and the world work so well. However, it missed BIG on the way it could have told its story in a more rational way. And I use rational, because I thought the overall story they were going for was great.... but the way they tell it just comes off as nonsensical, ignorant, and more than anything, random.....

This movie could’ve easily doubled its sales if they didn’t make such terrible trailers and marketing. The marketing is such a disservice to what the movies is actually about. The marketing basically just says “wow look at how pretty this is! And there’s fire with water??? Wow!”

I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago and something that spoke out to me (for the first part of the movie at least) is this is a message about racism. Just... they way everyone else treats those who are Fire, the fact that they wouldn't let Fire people see the Vivisteria flower, the way Earth, Air, and Water treated Ember's parents when they first arrived and looking for a home, and that Water Train always spilling over the bridge as it passes by the shop. (ok that last one might not count, but they could try and do something to make less splashy, right?)
