Elementos

I loved the colors so much, the charm, and great feel good vibes! Sure a lot goes wrong a lot like Buzzlightyear but it's way more satisfying and has lovely romance. To me it's one of the best kids movies I've seen this year besides Into the Spider-verse. I was a bit nauseas in the last half and been tired all day and still loved this a lot especially with the wonderful music makes everything so sweet. I'm not fully sure why people bashed this besides the amount that goes wrong it's well acted and wholesome with great diversity mashed in perfectly throughout. I was even late to getting a ticket and a sweet family let me have the spot the they had so the mom could sit with her kids, always magnificent when most the audience claps afterwards too.

People are reading wayyyy too much into this movie. It's an animated movie so chill. I never even saw a trailer for this movie before watching so I had no clue what it was about. Pretty standard kids movie with fun quirky characters. Every one reminded me of some one I know. I wasn't really into the first half of the movie but the second half really picks up. The visual effects team crushed it on this one. I mean they really made it look cool. I think people are going a little hard on Pixar right now. It's really not easy making a movie this social climate so hats off for even trying. We thought it was good and my daughter loved it.

While very simplistic and predictable at all points, it is rather "cute".

It handles its emotional core very well, with the characterizations and voice-acting being the best part (as well as the excellent vibrant worldbuilding).. but the content is so sparse it makes the pacing feel sluggish and the film a tad long. As a romance, it's okay and delivers on its premise! The other layers, like the "looming threat", are a second-thought and a mark that needed to be checked.

As a Pixar movie and after 7 years of development? I'm not sure.. I guess I expected more from the narrative. Had this been done by a smaller and newer studio, I can imagine only praises. Maybe just say the smaller division did it!

Sadly, this is a perfect movie for streaming.

Visually the animation was really good. Literally Elemental was brilliant to watch. Also, have to admit that I was not expecting much from a movie about fire and water falling in love. Disney has always made movies for children in which they teach them to do whatever their heart desire through the story of a creature or an object that really should not or can't change it spots. Now they've picked the elements.

Elemental has more in-depth story about Immigrants I was not expecting in a Disney/Pixar movie. It was not hidden at all. Neither was the romance between fire and Ice which I was very different for these movies.

It was so different from what I expected, and it was refreshing.

This is the Pixar I know. I knew what kind of a story Elemental was going to be. From the IMDb plot and the reviews, I knew the cliches it would have and the route it will take. But this movie still really touched me.

I was really surprised by how well they executed the romance. And I'm surprised by the fact that Pixar made just a love story. I knew there was going to be romance in this but I thought, like most pixar movies, the main theme of this movie would be something else and the romance would progress on the sidelines. But no, the romance takes center stage in this film.

The main character, Ember, was very well written. She was likeable, relatable, and we as viewers experienced the entire story through her perspective. In comparison to Ember though, the side characters aren't as well explored as she is and that's the aspect of the movie that could've been a bit better.

But the romance is very good, honestly. It doesn't fit at first and feels a bit forced initially. That's why the 1st act of the movie isn't really as engaging. But the romance is paced perfectly. Because when these 2 characters started understanding more and more about each other, I started to really root for them and that's when this movie started to get really good. Amd the conclusion of the movie is very satisfying because of how well the romance is executed. The soundtrack too was very catchy and it worked perfectly with some specific moments of the film.

The theme though is cliche and it could have been done better. And the character of wade too could have been explored a bit more.

But in the end, I had a really nice time with this movie. You know, when a character is crying, and you just can't help but feel like crying yourself, that's when you know the movie has done its job.

Pixar had lost its way lately, but this film might get them back on track. This was a very sweet and wonderfully executed romance.
