Atom User Reviews for Elemental
This is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I’m so tired of the agenda being shoved down children’s throats. Just let them be kids
Elemental is more of a rom-com for kids than anything else. While the movie had a great moments it is not the summer animated blockbuster I was expecting from Disney and Pixar. I don’t see myself rewatching this movie as many times as i have other Pixar films. If this movie would have been released as a Disney+ exclusive I think it would’ve have a better reception only because its so centered on family and the relationship inside and outside the home. You should see it but you don’t have to rush to the theaters.
cute show, won't see again. woke rom com for young kids. how about give me a kids movie and save the agenda for an older audience. yes there are 2 gay couples with kissing. felt like key racist with the divide but there are many movies with same dreamer idea. it worked, just not for my young kids.
There’s only one thing why this movie is tanking right now for one there are some gay couples in this film and two there’s something about this film that didn’t make it that good I’m sorry but it’s not something to show to kids in the future that none of them should see this film and third there’s to much racism in this movie also
It’s a very sweet and romantic story. It also shows creativity and a positive message about differences. The negative comments are completely biased and false. It’s also clever and fun
Was good enough for an activity with kids but I wouldn't be interested in seeing again.
I’d watch this again without my kids. It was so good. Some of the jokes were adult jokes that the kids wouldn’t get. The adults were laughing so much. My kids were not understanding. My toddler behaved the entire time which is saying something. My teenager was hardly amused. I didn’t know what this movie was about at all before I came. It just looked cute. If you’re on the fence, GO SEE IT!
Beautiful love story about a first generation immigrant kid finding herself as she tries to live up to the expectations of her parents who sacrificed so much to build a life for her.
Absolutely delightful! I didn’t expect to enjoy the film as much as I did. Do not let the trailer decide you, give the film an honest to goodness chance you won’t be disappointed! A must watch for the whole family!
The plot is week, but this is one of the most visually stunning worlds that Pixar has produced. It also tackles some hard hitting themes. To those who have not experienced discrimination first hand, the knee jerk reaction is say there is no place in a kids movie to discuss these types of themes. As someone with a disability, I wish this movie would have existed when I was a kid, because it would have been amazing to see the world admit that the world isn’t always designed to accommodate people like me, but often it isn’t done maliciously. So in short. This isn’t a great movie, but it is a beautiful one with themes that many badly need to hear.
Such a cute movie, I got choked up with some of the father-daughter scenes. Definitely a must watch at least once for families with kids.
I am absolutely in love with this movie, it was a beautiful ride from beginning to end.
very cute family friendly movie..My Kids and I love Disney Movies❤️
It was an amazing movie !!!
I just watched it tonight with my boyfriend. We both loved it for its humor and it was really relatable since he’s a fire sign and I’m a water sign. I teared up a bit during some parts but was caught off guard and full out started crying when the kowtowing happened. I cried as much as Wade did 😅 I had wanted to see it because I love element stories, but this really did hit a lot harder than I thought it would and as the child of immigrants, the sacrifices resonated so hard 🥹
Pretty damn charming.
Sweet storyline!! Watch it ✨💜
Somehow I can relate myself to this movie. Definitely my favorite movie of the year.
although i didn’t expect to see certain things, this movie was AMAZING! it was so cute and touching. it was funny and not rushed. i loved this movie, definitely worth watching. Perfect for a date night or with the lil ones!
Good movie to have a family night out with. Kids will love it.
Great movie!
Beautiful love story with a heartfelt twist
Enjoyable family movie that felt a bit underdeveloped.
cute movie , but too long previews and commercials is 30+ minutes really needed. I was falling asleep near the end
Cute and original
A little cheesy but cute
I'm gonna go back and watch it again, because it just hit me with all the feels the first time. Let my feelings be digested and I'll go back to enjoy all the puns and little details.
A great emotional movie with an amazing story.
All the Feels
Such a good movie!!
The references to elements throughout the movie were so cute. I probably cried 5 different times. Kids and adults enjoyed it. Fun family movie.
A good surprise of a movie
Had to explain to the kid what hanky panky was because of this inappropriate movie
Loved this way more than I was expecting. I haven't been impressed with Pixar's last few films, but this one had all the feels that used to be synonymous with Pixar.
No such thing as a modern animation film without woke agenda nowadays. Racism and family burdens are the core of the movie with gay couples sprinkled in. Too bad because the animation and visuals are nice.
Great Movie. Kids loved it. Surprisingly great 👍
This movie is for the adults as much as it is for the children
This is one of the weakest movies made by Pixar. I’m not impressed.
So much emotion in this movie. It made laugh a bunch and teary-eyed a few different times.
We loved it as a famILY!!
Cool story, always a positive message sent from Disney
I cried😢 happy tears!
This movie was a masterpiece. The graphics, the story, and the length were perfect. We are adults and loved it, as it made us laugh and cry. Also, it shows some of the capabilities of the elements, which makes it educational for kids
Really Good Movie! Other Reviews say its Racism, but I didn't catch one hint of Racism in the movie 🤔
Nice love story and take away message but not entertaining enough to keep the attention of my kids.
My daughter and mom liked it. It was a cute story that had some big themes. loved it
Good story and entertaining! Some real funny laughs too😄
It was beautiful, and an all around good time. I enjoyed it and so did my little one.
this movie had me in tears a little bit just bc the expression of the actors and characters really made you relate to them at times
Love and will buy DVD
Metacritic
Although it doesn’t come close to reaching Nemo’s heights (very few films, animated or otherwise, can), Elemental neither needs nor tries to, mostly to its own benefit.
The staggering design ambition balances out the plot’s affecting, relatable ordinariness.
Narratives about identity are important, but Elemental lacks the delicate nuance needed to tell these stories.
