Elementals is set in a city filled with different kinds of elements. However, the city isn't really built for the element fire and this causes problems for our main character Ember.

Elementals shows the pressures that we put on ourselves and how we compare ourselves to others. Throughout the movie we see how Ember tries to control her anger, but only when she accepts what she is truly angry about can she control it.

Ember meets Wade a water element and eventually the two begin to fall for one another. Tis is forbidden as water can put out fire but no one truly knows what will happen if the two get close.

We are able to see how much Ember loves her family and how much she wants to make him proud. Ember faces losing herself and what she truly wants to make her father proud. I feel the storyline is very relatable for so many people. It was enjoyable to watch Ember grow throughout the movie and truly become herself.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie. I was pleasantly surprised because I didn't feel it was advertised very well. Its a good movie for the whole family.

Under the boardwalk follows a hermit crab named Armen. Armen suffers with anxiety and socialising due to his past, but one day he must face these fears to make it back home.

We follow Armen and his friends on separate adventures throughout the movie. We lean that there are land crabs and water crabs who dont seem to get on but overtime Armen falls in love even though its forbidden.

Throughout the movie we are able to see Armen face his fear and grow out of his shell. Armen uses his new found strength to save and protect to others around him.

As the movie is based on hermit crabs everything is on a very small scale and I felt it got alittle lost at parts. The animation is nice and smooth. There are a few songs in the movie too that seem quite silly and just seem to be in the movie for extra time.

Overall the movie is fine but nothing amazing. I dont think Id watch it again.
