Tears may have been shed. Overall good show with a needed message for a divided world we live in.

Tìshôk’ - "Embrace The Light"
:fire::cupid::droplet:

Bland is the most appropriate definition. The animation is not particularly inspiring or innovative, and the plot flows away without particular emotions. Moreover, I am not really sure this is the most appropriate way to cover the intended underlying meaning.

A fun and good animated movie. A lot of element-related jokes - that often aren't that funny. Overall really solid tho.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Elemental’:

1. One would think that such a creative idea of elements as characters, opposing elements falling in love, would make for a dazzling, emotional story perfectly-fit for Pixar. Alas, it was all a bit bland as there was no true focus. This may actually be Pixar’s messiest project.

2. The pacing was off from the start, as I initially struggled to stay awake. Our blue water lead, Wade, had a moment when he tells his fiery Ember that they changed each other’s chemistry. But their relationship, their struggle, never properly evolved. There _was_ no chemistry.

3. The characters themselves were cute, no doubt. I found the excessive crying from the water clan particularly amusing. But, placed in a lineup with the rest of Pixar’s roster, they’re sadly sorta forgettable.

Bonus Thought: Everyone made a big stink that fire and water simply cannot mix. To me, that was supposed to be the big conflict, a major part of the story that would culminate in some epic revelation. But they basically gave each other a high five and all was well. Underwhelming.

The water character “Lake” is gender FLUID. Wow didn’t see that one coming. Guess it was a pun “they” couldn’t resist

Liked it. Simple good fun and more mature than other animated movies. Could see young kids hating it but older ones prob would and adults prob would enjoy it too

Just finished the movie and after the news and critics I had to read and listen to beforehand I was really positively surprised in this case.
And I really don’t get it why all the people joined the hating parade…no girl boss, no over the top racial philosophy etc we came to hate over the last couple years. The mouse house is really doing quite well here and I might bet that 4 out of 5 critics did not even finish the movie or watch more than one of the trailers.
It was not one of their groundbreaking masterpieces like Up, Finding Nemo, Zootopia or The Toy Story but once and for all it is a solid piece of entertainment especially for younger audiences these days we live in today.

That’s it for today … be safe and take care. Bye

Like writing a middle school book report on a book you didn't read the night before it's due: uninspired and can't be bothered.

If Zootopia only had four animals and no plot, it would reassemble this simple flick that would've worked better as a short.

I think I've seen this somewhere :thinking:
a being of fire who falls in love with another being she cannot touch.
seriously I'm trying to remember, does it have something to do with a princess.
a princess made of fire, who falls in love with someone she can't touch, if not both will get hurt.
I already know adventure time, with Finn and the fire princess
it's just a pity that the couple didn't stay there until the end of the work, they liked them together

This is the Pixar I know and want.

Kids loved it. I found it a bit boring but wasn’t expecting to like it. But it entertained my girls, actual made one cry a little

Just watched this in The Theatres with my two Daughters..You know it wasn’t good when before the Movie starts..They had a Short before the movie of That Old Man from “UP” and his talking Dog..It was about 6-10mins before the movie..Ya there wasn’t really much to this movies..
