It looked attempted. The water dude had that smug racist look on his face

i get from an outside point of view embers internal conflict might seem unnecessary, dramatic and dumb, but it’s so accurate to the wrenching guilt many of us with immigrant parents feel when choosing to pursue our true selves when we know our parent gave up everything for us but and have strict ideas of how’s our lives should play out. it feel like throwing away their sacrifice. the consequences are often being shunned, and we understand that’s toxic and abusive, but we can’t help that our parent grew up in a toxic and abusive environment and that conditioned them. it’s especially awful when parents are racist or homophobic, and would disagree with the person you choose to love. it doesn’t help that children of immigrants feel more dependant on parents, since parents have far bigger priorities in terms of providing rather than socialising their kids with others and broadening their circle. as well as that immigrant communities are often tight but and monoculturalistic (if that’s a word) and being rejected by parents means being rejected by your entire community. hope this provides insight to yall who haven’t been in embers shoes to get where she’s coming from with her extreme reluctance. sorry for the ramble i had thoughts that needed to get out 😅

Always dig your reactions, especially to animated movies. I'd like to note that 'Elemental' is essentially director Peter Sohn's sorta-kinda autobiography, as he is the son of two Korean immigrants, and the movie is based on his experiences growing up in NY in the '80s. I found it to be pretty solid, myself, if a little uneven and paced rather clumsily... I'll also point out, that Disney 100th logo first showed up last fall before 'Strange World'!

I love how the director drew on his experience as a first generation and the conflict of expectations and duty with dreams and desires.

This is such an immigrant story, starting with 'new names on entry' just so you KNOW what this is about. I love it so much.

To go from one of the worst performing Pixar movies, to the highest grossing Disney animated movie since 2019 is quite a miracle, and a deserved one at that. I'm glad it's not a total loss, as the film itself is actually pretty good. The animation on the fire, water, and air people is amazing and pretty revolutionary, the powers and abilities they have are very creative, I love how they created an entire original language for the fire people, the music is awesome, and I like the arc Ember goes through.

Fun fact: The reason Ember and Wade were able to touch without killing each other was because of a scientific phenomenon known as the Leidenfrost effect which is when something really hot like Ember touches water like Wade and it creates a layer of steam like the one you see when they first touch which acts as an insulator for Wade, preventing him from vaporizing, and by extension, Ember from getting extinguished. How did Wade survive at the end? Well, for that you can thank our good old friend the water cycle. He EVAPORATED into the chimney, CONDENSED onto the rocks blocking the chimney and was PRECIPITATED by Ember making him cry.

This had one of the best comebacks at the box office in recent years. Dare I say, even more impressive than Puss in Boots 2's comeback. The film started out with an awful $29.6 million domestically, the worst opening in Pixar history, but then it continued to hold on strong in the subsequent weekends after the first frame, despite summer competition. The film will soon close with $153 million domestically and $480.2 million worldwide (potentially close to $500 million), almost breaking even. Gives me lots of hope for Pixar's future if Elio and Inside Out 2 are great and hit it big at the box office.

Zootopia which it gets compared to alot, although may have similarities, does not cover immigration. Also this movie was marketed as the romance genre, so I'm not sure why you said not everything has to be romantic.

Also, I haven’t been having a great couple days this week, so this reaction is making me feel a little bit better. ❤

Girl, I'm sorry because you seem open to pretty much everything you watch, but why does it seem like you were being prejudiced throughout this entire movie? You literally never stopped trying to find the needle in the haystack, even when concept were really simple to understand, instead of just watching. Especially when you said "why would they move here when they keep being treated like shit?" as if America wasn't full of immigrants trying to find better opportunities and as if they have never been mistreated because of their origins instead. I understand being critical, but between critical and cynical there's a fine line. I'm not saying this is the best movie ever made, but it surely wasn't a bad watch and it was meaningful. I hope I don't sound rude, because I've watched a lot of your reactions and loved them, but it really seemed like that since the beginning.

I thought this movie was alright but when I tackled this in the past with Wall.E I think they did this movie better.

My understanding is that they didn't build a neighborhood specially for the fire people, they just gave them an older, unused part of the city. That's why it starts out dilapidated, and why it has water pipers - presumably it was used by the other elementals, then they abandoned it, and the fire people moved in.

It seems to me that you went to watch this cartoon initially biased, because now it is very popular. Nevertheless, before its release and in the first month after the premiere, it was watered with noble slops, prophesied that this was the worst Pixar cartoon for the entire existence of the studio and promised that it would fail miserably at the box office. And it's funny to me to see how many of these experts changed their minds when they realized that they could not set up an audience against a cartoon with their multimillion videos. It is gorgeous, Wade and Amber, imho, the best hetero couple among all full-length cartoons. Their CHEMISTRY is amazing.

I think unless you're a 1st gen immigrant who left their country that was in either ruin due to a natural disaster, war, or government/civil unrest to give their child(ren) a better life, or have seen people go through that, you wouldn't understand. Also Element City is supposed to represent America, with the first place Ember's parents went to symbolizing Ellis Island where Immigrants went to become citizens. To me it's very similar to the many Asian immigrants stories I've read and listened to, especially with Japan and their culture, mainly for to the "never disgrace the family name", though obviously with them being elements it's something more than just one race of immigrants can feel represented by.

Yes Amber saved her city and parents, it was nice to see but there was the fake death cliché which ruins a dramatic scene. I was not happy to see it ☹There's no annoying kid who flirts with the heroine in the other movie like Claud or family issues similar to Miguel in Coco either.

Elemental 2 Prequel Series Is In Development Be ready because Disney is bringing us a whole new adventure of Ember and Wade in a brand new Elemental 2 Prequel series. Yes we are not messing around because there are some solid news regarding a spin off TV show of Pixar’s Elemental. Despite being the lowest original movie of Pixar on Rotten Tomatoes, Elemental became the highest grossing original animated movie for Disney and Pixar since 2019. Also the movie was a bit underrated because it has almost everything that we want to watch in a perfect Disney-Pixar movie. But finally, there are some official reports which are already indicating towards a sequel show for this beautiful movie. According to some of the well known websites like The Direct, Collider and The Disinsider, Disney and Pixar are now moving towards a spin off TV show for Elemental. According to the reports, Pixar will be bringing back Ember and Wade in a new sequel series where we will get a chance to watch their next adventure. Elemental writer Kat Likkel has officially given a hint by saying that a spin-off may revolve around Ember and Wade’s cross-country journey, or it can even end up showing their path to marriage. The writer has also confirmed that Elemental spin-off can also focus on other characters in Element City to give a new aspect of the movie, just like Zootopia+. But in short, the writers has confirmed that both a sequel series and a proper full length sequel is in development. As of now, there are no solid updates regarding the exact release date because neither Disney nor Pixar has made any official statement on this spinoff TV Show. But it is just a matter of time before they make one. However, we can expect it to land by the end of 2024. If the studio is really developing this TV Show then it should get release within two years from now as the characters are already well animated. All they have to do is to bring some new characters to life in order to make a perfect story. But there are several factors which might delay it as well. It mainly includes the process of script writing and voice acting. That’s because the ongoing writer’s and actor’s strike is affecting almost everything in the Hollywood. Studios are facing a lot of challenges regarding their filming and productions, along with their promotions. Elemental was already an underrated project, so Disney and Pixar will try to focus on the special marketing and promotion of it’s spinoff. But they can’t do it in the current scenario.

This was a great movie.

The film, in general, is cute, but I also found it very boring. It's not really an original film or one that takes you by surprise, and I wasn't able to connect with the characters because they sounded very generic, most of the time they just seemed to have one personality [angry girl, emotional boy]

I'm glad the movie managed to find its audience and proved everyone wrong that it wasn't a flop. But I do understand peoples hesitation with it. The advertising did not do this film a ton of favors. I honestly thought it looked like a Kirkland brand Zootopia. Just with elements instead of animals, but it actually is different than Zootopia story and style wise.
