Review of Elemental

Elemental (2023)
6/10
Pixar is no longer shining bright like the little lamp it was

I wasn't expecting soul / zootopia level of deep storytelling and funny moments, however I didn't expect the migrants teenager girl love story / cinderella knockoff either.

I didn't mark this one as 'spoiler' cos there's really not a story to spoil anyways, if it was a live action movie I'd give it a 5 star but since it's well animated (the water effect was REALISTIC!) I gave it one extra star for the visual. I'm pretty sure it'll be nominated for best visuals in the next academy awards.

However the story, the story! It was hollow, plain, boring, and familiar. Your typical rich white guy with teenage migrant girl from the mideast (yeah you can totally tell the fire elemental was from the mideast - well makes a lot of sense ini't?).

Good family movie if you have young kids and don't feel like using your brain much.
