Critics Consensus

Elemental may not satisfy as fully as the greatest Pixar pictures, but it remains a solid story told with dazzling visual flair.

With a heartwarming message and stunning animation, Elemental proves Pixar hasn't lost its touch.

It’s almost as though the contours of what made Pixar great have been copied out here in vague watercolour.

Rated: 2/5

Independent (UK)

Gentle and humane but never raw or vulnerable.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

There are tonal parallels with Pixar’s Inside Out and Zootropolis, but while it has a peppy visual energy, Elemental lacks the wildly inventive storytelling of the former and the laughs of the latter.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

With its gorgeous animation and vibrant colours, Elemental seems to mark a return to the classic magical atmosphere that characterises Pixar cartoons and marked many of our childhoods.

Rated: 4/5

Flick Feast

A vivid, vibrant world and expectedly colourful, absorbing animation are never matched by Elemental’s basic plot and clumsy allegories.

Rated: 3/5

Denise Pieniazek

Puesta en Escena (AR)

Consequently, the film not only focuses on interclass and racial romance, but also reflects on other issues such as uprooting, the breaking of family mandates, prejudices and vocation or talent.

Rated: 7/10

Felt like I was watching a 90s romcom kinda minded me of maid in manhattan with jlo. Didn’t really seem like a child’s movie beside the fact that it was animated with elemental characters

Gabriel Bourque

Elemental is good with its world building, and Thomas Newmans score is really amazing. This just doesn't feel worthy of attention and praise and didn't really deserve an Oscar nomination at all. mostly predictable.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
