While its animation can be quite striking, the story of Elemental is told in a clumsy and ham-fisted way. Our Cannes2023 review:
It's a story as old as time: two characters from different and opposing cultures become star-crossed lovers and their love helps bridge the gap between people. Elemental is, at its core, a romantic comedy. While Disney Pixar joints have hinted at romance before, this is the first time the storyline has been so overtly romantic. The film follows the characters Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple , a fire and water element respectively.
'Elemental' Feels a Bit Too Similar to Another Disney Movie There's nothing particularly awful about Elemental. It's beautifully animated, has a fantastic soundtrack courtesy of Thomas Newman, and the story is a heartwarming one about love, growth, and acceptance. However, there's also nothing particularly amazing about Elemental either.
The Use of the Immigrant Story Feels Overly Exaggerated Conceptually, it makes sense that the two stories will share some similarities, but Elemental also feels very formulaic when looking closer at the story. Director Peter Sohn said that they drew inspiration from rom-coms like Moonstruck and You've Got Mail, and it's easy to see that.
It's obvious that Sohn and perhaps some of the other writers have an attachment to the immigrant story, and that's understandable. I was also raised by immigrants parents who came to the United States with little to nothing and had to work hard from the ground up, sacrificing along the way just so that I could have the life they never had. But, this is a familiar story that Elemental handles in a clumsy and ham-fisted way.
