I saw Elemental because my nephew really wanted to see it. What I liked about Elemental was it's immigration story because it showed the struggles of Ember's parents had to go through when they moved to Element City. They had to suffer from prejudice and had to work hard to have a establish a life for themselves. The opening five minutes was excellent work from Pixar as it told a mini story about Ember's story arriving in the city. There were also an excellent look at how immigrant communities keep a hold of their culture and how their children live in too worlds. However, other parts of the film weren't so well thought out because the chemistry between the main two characters was lacking and the theme of prejudice wasn't so strong since there were genuine reasons for fire and water people to fear each other. Ember's story felt like it needed refining since she wanted to honour her parents yet the film added the idea she had potential to be an artist was suddenly added in.
