The pair’s growing fascination for each other is as unmistakable as the beauty of their surroundings, and so a film about inanimate elements turns out to be a delightfully human love story.

She’s spunky and hot-headed, he’s sweet and adorable — if they touch, it could be a disaster, but somehow, their chemistry just works, bringing the charming “Elemental” to a lively roiling boil.

Hello, I saw this animation, Elemental. My memories were revived. I remembered the days when Pixar made good animations. I loved this animation because of the creative potential in it. In my opinion, it was better than Zootopia. I thought it was strange. But in this situation in Hollywood, with critics who are only called critics and the awards for the awards for the awards for the awards, in the last few years, there have been few films and animations that I can't stand, including Elemental. In my opinion, the Hollywood cinema industry is dead without creativity, and if there is creativity, the limitations prevent this award from showing its full potential and falling into clichés. The Oscars were the dumbest and worst ceremonies I have ever seen. I have to say that if I want to watch a movie, I don't depend on the critics' scores, sales, or awards. I mean, I'll watch it if it sells well or gets good scores, but I won't watch it if it makes me feel good. I can't trust critics and I can't trust people's opinions. The only thing I can trust is my eyes. I just trust my eyes.

Pixar’s first out-and-out love story, Elemental is overstuffed and inconsistent — but packed with enough moving sentiment, gorgeous design and punchy voice performances to mean it still burns bright.

Its world building is so vast and so intricate (the city has a Wetro and you can watch films like Tide And Prejudice!) that it overshadows the textured plot about the burdens placed on second-generation kids.

Perhaps fittingly for a film that would have more accurately been titled “When Fire Met Water…,” Elemental is combustible enough from minute to minute, but it evaporates from memory the second you leave the theater.

Pixar is as entitled to a swing and a miss as any studio. But the lovely-looking miscalculation that is Elemental stands out on the CGI animation house’s resume as a rare swing-and-almost-completely-miss.

Why is Elemental rated 58 in Metacritic? It deserves 95 percent, standing for universal acclaim, like WALL-E.

I found this movie boring. It just isn't all that interesting for adults or children. It has nowhere near the charm of Up or Wall-e. Voice acting is ok and the CGI style is going to be hit or miss to you depending on your taste. There's a ton of messaging in this movie about immigration being good and old people who tell you different are just suffer from prejudice, it's done in an insultingly simplistic way. I don't think this has any business being in a kids movie especially since it takes a very basic approach in how it tells this message. You might want to take this into account before you let your kids watch this since as we all know life isn't that simple and I think children under 14 should really be shielded from social justice stuff as they're too young and inexperienced to understand.

Walked out after an hour, couldn't get a ounce of interest going for this film.
