Pixar, once known for groundbreaking animations, faced a shift towards sequels and merchandise in the early 2010s. However, their recent film “Elemental,” directed by Peter Sohn, stands as a testament to their ability to create classics. Set in a world where fire, water, air, and earth are sentient beings, the story revolves around Ember Lumen, a fire element, and Wade, a water element, who form an unexpected romantic connection despite their opposing nature. The film explores the idea of opposing elements canceling each other out, presenting it as a forbidden love story and delving into themes of multiculturalism, immigration, and family dynamics. Visually captivating and emotionally resonant, “Elemental” marks Pixar’s venture into romance, showcasing its commitment to character-driven storytelling. The film’s vibrant world and relatively unknown voice cast, led by a standout performance from Lewis as Ember, contribute to its charm. Despite comparisons to other films, “Elemental” shines with its characters and depth, capturing the enchantment of first love in a way that distinguishes it within the animation genre.
