Christina Newland iNews.co.uk It’s almost as though the contours of what made Pixar great have been copied out here in vague watercolour. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Gentle and humane but never raw or vulnerable. Rated: 3/5 Jul 13, 2023 Full Review 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 Jul 9, 2023 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici 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 Sep 15, 2024 Full Review William Stottor 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 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review 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.

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 09/26/24 Full Review Angel It was such a cute movie! Must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review your mom i love him i love her so kdrama coded but disney animation and the scene with the music is so cute theyre so cute i like how this covered immigration/first gen daughter struggles without forcing it so cuteee Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review BCC Great message and beautiful animation!! And the wrtiting was fantastic! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review cannon Great movie little emotional Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review Matthew There is one word that perfectly describes Elemental, OVERHATED. This movie is legitimately one of the most entertaining of the year. The Character development throughout the movie is incredible. Watching Ember(the main female character) go from being hot headed and indecisive, to this strong and tranquil character who is willing to follow her destiny. It was very entertaining to watch, and I would recommend Elemental to any family who wants to have a funny, enjoyable experience at the movie theater!
