The reason this movie got hate was that it was marketed ATROCIOUSLY, it literally looked like all of Pixars most tired tropes with none of their strengths. I honestly couldn't believe how good it was when I saw it, I genuinely thought it would be a trainwreck from the marketing. I mean yeah, its not reinventing the wheel, but it does what it set out to do extremely well.
Never count eggs before they hatch kind of deal.
They expected that people would wanna watch it if it looked like what people usually expect from Pixar
Pretty much all the marketing I saw for it were the two scenes of Clod. It didn’t even show Wade in those ads I saw. The marketing literally set this movie up to fail, and it’s not the first time this has happened.
The water and fire contact is based on a real scientific effect. It's where water of a lower temperature comes into contact with a heat source that is much hotter than normal, mostly past the boiling point. Called leidenfrost effect, you can see this happen if you take your hand covered in cold water soaked in it for a while where its freezing cold, but then quickly dunk it in something hot. You can even do this with molten lead even and all you do is like a quick dunk, drop in and pull out so fast, it's less than a second, your hand is fine. Dry even if you took a 'little' longer than normal. It creates a steam effect that acts a barrier between the two insane temperature sources, almost making it glide across it even.
thats really cool actually and recontextualizes one scene i found really cheesy where Wade is confessng his love for Ember and he says "We changed each others chemistry." now, knowing that it's based on science, it makes it super clever
Mythbusters. Gotta love it! 😁
Wade and Ember's love story is amazing because it really is relatable. The two of them come from very different upbringings and not just because they are different elements. Ember comes from a family of immigrants that had to work hard and get everything they have from scratch, all while having to suffer from prejudice. Meanwhile, Wade comes from a wealthy family and never had to endure the same level of prejudice and struggles Ember had. But even though, both of them were able to actually complement each other and give one another what they needed respectivelly. Wade helped Ember realize the source of her temper thanks to his empathy and inspired her to pursue her dream and solver her issues with her father, since he couldn't do the same with his. Meanwhile, Ember gave Wade what he needed since he was struggling to find his way, as he was having a hard a time to find a job that he could actually keep and was haunted by the regret of not enjoying his time with his dad. The struggles that their relationship had felt extremely realistic, even more than most Disney couples.
I completely agree, they’re just the best cute couple 💕🔥💧
_Most_ Disney couples?
Nani and David: 🧍♀️🧍♀️
Kristoff and Anna: 🧍♀️🧍♀️
Kristoff and Anna have no chemistry lol and it's so painfully obvious in Frozen 2, even Disney wasn't sure what to do with him in that movie. Nani and David aren't even cute because we barely see them together. I think Rapunzel and Eugene are the cutest Disney couple by far. @@HazbinCovenWitch
Pixar released a storyboard of a cancelled end scene where they showed Ember and Wade had a baby made out of steam but they cancelled it because they said they wanted to tell a lot more stories about them before thinking of starting their own family so that might be a confermation that they'll make a sequel or a series ^^
What do you guys think? :D
I thought Pixar wasn’t going to make sequels anymore
@@estelalopez3563 infact I most heard the possibility of a series of shorts about them :D
@@estelalopez3563Toy story 5 is coming so I doubt that.
@@Sans0328 Give me your best bone joke.
True but also, the steam baby being a mix between fire and water, what else would the elements make? Like water, cloud make rain storm? Or earth and fire make lava.
as someone who's asian, this movie hit so close to home. I'm gonna be completely honest, but i watched this in theaters with my sister and we both cried when ember poured her heart out to her dad. my sister and i were too prideful to bond over it though so we just cried silently along with everyone else in the theater.
I think I'm missing something here, what does being Asian have to do with it? I'm not trying to be combative or anything, I just legitimately don't get it and am curious
Ember's struggle hits so hard. Not all people have like a job to take over after parents but MANY people struggle not to ruin their image in parents eyes. They fear it so much because brain mostly leads right away to worst case scenerio ,,I'm a bad daughter" or thinking parents would disown them for doing something they struggle to accept. Yeah kids mostly direct fault at themselves instead realizing that parent's wrong view of something is actual problem not kid's problem. It's sad how parents don't want to accept some things or work through it and just blame the child. Kids fear of being left alone in life if they do something that parents wouldn't accept. It's for sure different if friend is lost because of something. Family and parents should be supporting and not give signals like ,,We support you unless you... (something they have bad view of)" and scare kids about not accepting them if they choose different path or do something unusual.
Exactly. Ember's dad never outright said you can't pursue anything else, but he created an environment in which she didn't feel comfortable expressing her true feelings. That is entirely the dad's fault. That is why most of the movie I was mad at him.
Elemental was actually said to be the hardest movie to make for Pixar because it took over 200,000 computers to run.
Just watched a documentary of sorts for this movie and it was touching how the Director who is a korean man, mad a movie for his parents who have passed. It was also inspired from the periodic table of elements looking like an apartment of elements. Would be really cool tbh.
Apparently there was a short story released based on Wade’s past with his dead dad and it does add some extra meaning to what happens in this movie (since it kind of serves as a prequel to this movie too). I kinda wish they animated it as a short or something and released it alongside the movie.
Ayo
Where can you find that short story?
well its not really a short, more of a behind the scenes that they released separate from the movie with the creator talking about how his life story inspired many of the events and characters in the movie. its really interesting and compelling. i dont think that it should’ve been animated tho as i feel it would’ve taken away some of the humanity and the real story behind the movie.
@@BlueLeader101 it's on Disney+
@@BlueLeader101 it's usually the next thing that pops up when you finish Elemental. its called Good Chemistry: The Story of Elemental. it's 41 minutes long
At 1:04:25 when Ruff Said "come on make the old man cry"... I'm pretty sure Boom was already crying at that point.
Did you guys notice that the clothes for Fire people are made of metal chainmail-like material? It looks like metallic mesh fireplace curtains! Their formal wear is similar, except instead of metal, the little panels are made out of stained glass, so their fancy outfits make the people look like beautiful lanterns. Practical AND stylish!
I imagine Water people's clothes is made from "watered silk," which is a real thing and has a smooth flowy texture like water does.
I genuinely related to this movie so much when I saw it in theaters. I'm a daughter of immigrant parents and Ember's situation is something I've always struggled with cuz I always felt like I had to pay my parents back for the sacrifice they made for them and me to have a better life in America by sacrificing my own life to help them
I remember watching this movie not so long ago and my heart couldn’t handle the much detail of animation, storytelling and more throughout this film. As I nearly cried my eyes out till the moment that hit the most broke me 🥲 Kinda suck that this movie was under the radar and had lack of advertising. But it’s a enjoyable film that I hope they make a sequel or possibly a mini series from this movie.
They have content for a mini series or short since they’ve released a book about Wade’s backstory and dead that adds extra context to the movie. It’s cool.
@@BelBelle468I agree as it would be nice to see what happens as a prequel with Wade.
I love how when Embers dad was ‘punishing’ her by not letting her run the shop for longer, his mindset is “if she really wants this then I’ll have to be extra sure she can handle it.” And not “whether she wants to or not she better run this when my time is up, and she better do it right.” He’s not trying to force her into becoming the owner, he was just being a good dad and teacher at the same time all her life❤️🔥
As a hopeless romantic I have an unhealthy obsession with this movie 😅
lol same. also as someone who’s gone through depression, i feel for Ember deeply
(RUclips's an ass. Now I got to write it all over again...)
I was SO EXCITED when I saw the thumbnail! I wasn't sure if you guys were gonna watch it, so I'm glad to be wrong! I love this film so much! I was interested when seeing the trailer, never giving a damn about them haters and their pointless videos before the film was even out. Saw it twice, the second time with my mom, who also was interested and loved it. Thank you for the reaction! Glad you enjoyed!
Fun facts: there's a deleted scene where they did show Ember and Wade with a cloud baby. Also, even though it was made under Disney, everything Pixar will NOT include a parent's death. As far as I know from the films I've seen before, it's highly rare to impossible for that idea to come up. Especially when Pixar and Disney were separate companies before Disney got the rights, and only Walt Disney Pictures held on to that idea in relation to Walt's past.
And Ruff, my man, *YES!! PLEASE* HAVE THEM WATCH BRAVE!!
(Also, yes, Brave is also Pixar and features the first and only Pixar Princess.)
I cried like an absolute baby the night this came to Disney+, definitely one of my top 3 pixar faves
20:18 There was a scrapped scene where Ember and Wade have a cloud/steam baby, but the directors decided to spend more time slowly developing their relationship before settling down or having kids. They're making an Elemental series now though!
This movie started tiny in almost all countries and just held like a beast. Ended up surpassing Across the Spiderverse internationally and Puss in Boots globally; made close to 500mil, sold great on VOD then opened on Disney+ with 27mil views.
Pixar & Disney Animation are the only two animation studios who do their whole animation in the US under one roof. All the others use overseas locations for costs. Plus, Pixar's budgets include operative costs like executives salary.
The next movie suggests. The Iron Giant 1999
I second this ^^
I third this
1:25 To be fair the marketing of Elemental wasn’t great. I only saw a couple of trailers and the plot completely went over my head 😅
Also it came out at a wrong time. There was Spider-man, Barbie, and Openheimer. Families and people went to see Elemental a month after those movies came out. and after people started spreading by word of mouth and social media that this movie was good, it actually started making money in the box office. And now is a hit online
Kinda bummed this movie didn't get much attention.
Look on the Bright side, at least the film became a sleeper hit as time passed
Blame poor marketing
It made a ton a money though $ 478 million dollars world wide. It came out at a bad time. Spider-man, Barbie and Openheimer within the same summer. So it made the box office sales by the end of summer.
@@donathan2933not poor marketing it's about how disney previous movie was bad and woke the disney being woke is killing this pixar movie elemental and the elemental ovie which I love it too
@@hopegaming5710 that and poor marketing cuz most people didn’t even know this movie released much less existed
Even if Elemental had a rough start in the theaters and the critics were a little mixed-up, the fact is the public opinion was extremely good. Most of the people that watched couldn't help but love not just the animation, but also the story, since it was pretty relative, both in the immigration part and the love part.
you mean relatable, not relative, right?
@@Jzombi301 relative is an adjective as well as a noun. Definition of the adjective is "having meaning or significance only in relation to something else; not absolute. a relative value."
Recent sub, but I still have so many regrets over not seeing this movie sooner. Ember is someone I relate to - as a first gen kid of immigrants who’s still making their way through life, the pressure she was feeling is all too realistic. That fear of disappointment made me teary eyed so many times
I friggin fell in love with this movie after I saw it in theaters and it instantly became one of my top favorites. Plus, Ember and Wade are still one of my favorite cute couples 💕🔥💧
I totally agreed with the marketing part, they haven't done almost anything than the teaser trailer of Amber and the trailer that only shows how the world is wish some simple comedy without any hint of the main plot. For most people it might ve look as a silly animated movie with silly comedy.
But in the end the movie was more deep and well animated. I personally love how they conceptualized the world of 4 elements people being literal but also creative in their daily lifestyle. But fire and water people! Uffffffff really love the constant animation of them being organic and still keeping their base design. Beautiful character design!
Elemental is about immigration, being the first gen child of an immigrant family, and the expectations, sacrifices, and pressure that come with that. It got so much hate by people who didn't see it because they thought it was a typical fire/water love story when it's not. There were also people who completely missed the point of the movie and claimed it was racist because they used opposing elements to depict a mixed couple. The marketing definitely did it dirty by advertising it (at all) as just a love story.
i saw this at the tribeca festival right before it came out in theaters. it got a lot of hate which is sad because the director was inspired by his own life growing up korean american in the bronx. i love this movie, coming from nyc this story hits close to home. young adults, the children of immigrants, struggling to make their parents happy because they know how much was sacrificed to get to america and then falling in love with someone not from your background because your world is just that much bigger than your parents generation. glad you guys likes it and i hope more people come to love it over the years.
I always find it funny when people go out of their way to hate on a movie. Like if I don’t like a movie, I just don’t watch it or any content related to it. But it’s funny there’s people out there that purposely click on content over a movie and take time out of their day to hate on it as much as they can. On something as inconsequential as a movie.
Anyway, this movie was fun and great reaction video as always
Not even just movies people do it for every little thing too
This movie is awesome and has some amazing themes! Not only was it about diversity and mixing it was also about immigrants settling in a new world. Raising a 1st gen and trying to keep their culture while also growing surrounded in a melting pot of other cultures. Interracial couples forming and getting to know each others cultures and accepting things. I am a 1st gen on my Dad's side, he was an interracial couple with my Mom. They had to deal with a lot of racism, and even in more modern times. Growing up in 90's and early 2000's I had to deal with racism for being a mixblood. It felt so different seeing my Dad's culture and my Mom's culture. This movie did so well representing the issues people deal with in these scenarios. I will say I didn't know about this movie till a month after it came out so I can totally get it flopping cause of marketing failure. Also I believe Boom asked about their kid, I think they did have an alternate scene where Ember and Wade came back with a steam baby and Ember's Dad plays with him.
I like how boom looks like hes about to shit himself when holding back tears
Why not both
I'm glad you guys got to see this movie. I was just thinking about you guys watching it the day before and thought you'd enjoy it.
You were right about things not being over once the situation appeared to be resolved.
P.S. I, too, thought the water kid was a menace.
One more thing, there was a little girl who said "mommy, she looks pretty" when ember was on the city pretend dancing.
I just love that conversation that I want to remember it when someone likes this comment in the future 🎉
Of course this movie isn’t a strong as Pixar movies back then, but it’s still cute for what it is. It makes me sad that so many people wrote it off
i think its one of pixars better movies. definitely the best to come out in years.
I like how there was no real villain, rather, the neglected infrastructure surrounding an outlying community. Less blatant and on the nose and points out more ingrained problems you don't really think about
am i the only one who felt like there might have been suicide allegories with Ember? like it definately felt like she could’ve been depressed from supressing her true personality and wants in order to please her dad, and whenever she talked about it or it was brought up by someone else, she either got super defensive and hardcore deflected or her flame went super far down like when she was talking to Wade at the beach. i feel like that might be what depression would look like to a fire person. there was also the time after that when Wade was trying to make her cry and he said the thing about him wanting to be close to her light because it makes him feel alive, Ember thought about how, no matter how badly she wanted to touch him and be with him, it could never work, and that made her tear up.
now about the suicidal feeling. the moment after her mom did their readings when her dad came to tell them he's retiring, when he revealed the sign, when her mom and dad left her alone and she started crying because she knew she was trapped, the very next scene was her giving the glass ball wth the flower in it back to Wade. they say that when you’re contemplating suicide, you start to give up your posessions, even the ones that mean the most to you, because you know you no longer have a use for them. the moment when Wade asked "Why are you giving me gifts?" and gave his little "oh no..." my heart instantly sunk and i started to fear for her life. i also thought there was no way a Pixar movie would actually go there so i rewound that scene multiple times to analize it and i realized that he was just worried she was gonna end things with him. but the feeling was still there. then later in the next scene, when Wade takes her to the Vivisteria tree, he says "I know you think you have to end this, but..." I know that, again, he ment their relationship, but i just couldn’t shake that feeling. after they touched for the first time, she remembered her dad and the shop and everything he did and was doing for her and she felt guilty and ashamed that she wasnt making her dad proud and being the daughter that he wanted her to be, and that she couldn’t have both Wade and her father's approval at the same time, so she went against her own self-interest, something she's more than used to by now, and ended things with Wade. then later, after Ember tells Wade she doesn’t love him at the party, she rides away on her motorcycle to a lookout point. as she gets up from sitting on the bench and starts walking towards the ledge, the same thought came into my mind and i began to worry again. this seemed like the lowest point for her. if there was ever a time for her to attempt it would be then. of course, this being a Pixar movie, I knew better, but i still cant shake the feeling that there was something deeper going on inside her head.
41:14 "BRO, How long did it take her to walk there?!?!" IDK, man, little elderly Asian ladies are just *built different.* They power-walk everywhere!
Fire is energy and life, but also irl there's natural fires in grasslands that promote the growth of various plants
The thing is, for me, I wanted to go into zoology as a career instead of being a doctor. I was scared to tell my mom that I wanted to switch my major from general biology to Zoology, and when I finally did, she got so mad at me. I was visibly shaking for almost an hour. A lot of parents might be understanding, like with Bernie, but that's not always the case. It was one of the toughest times of my life, knowing that my mom loathed what I wanted, loathed who I was. Ultimately, I cut off contact because even before, I had a very toxic and emotionally abusive childhood, but it's movies like this that hit me hard.
I'm so glad you all watched this movie. I put it on as a spur of the moment, "I'm PISSED ABOUT LOSING ALL MY RUNES IN ELDEN RING" moment. I had heard the anti-woke crowd crying about it so waited until things kinda died down on the drama of this, so figured "why not?"
I was really amazed by this movie, I have a lot of Asian friends who had similar experiences to this (the director is Korean-American kid having grown up in the 70s and 80s watching his dad struggle to start a life in New York City) and it really resonated with me for a lot of the things I saw them going through in school during the 90s and 2000s. I figured if any group of reactors would enjoy this movie, and wanted to see, it was definitely this crew.
The way I dropped everything when I saw you'd dropped this reaction! I loved this movie so much, it was just what I needed now when the seasonal darkness is pouring in (I live near the arctic circle so it's already pretty dark lol) - a fun, low stakes, heartwarming rom-com!
*Ember and Wade having a tender moment*
"Think it burns when she pees?"
When I first saw this advertised in theatres, it reminded me of the movie "Inside Out".
It made me look up when "Inside Out" came out, and as it turns out, it was 8 years ago!
while i was watching the movie i was thinking some emotional themes were a lot like Inside Out. there's references to depression in both that come in part from letting their parents down. they portrayed emotions very well in both movies. the next day after watching Elemental i had to rewatch Inside Out, then the day after that, i rewatched Elemental
12:26 I love how Wade is animated so that you can see some things through him, but not his eyes or the inside of his mouth looking at the back of his head, and his skin distortedly reflects objects and light too. The animation and worldbuilding in this movie is INSANE!!!
55:16 The painting gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣
42:21 I love the message that Ember "lights Wade up" and gives him the "fire" he needs to fight for what and who he loves; and he "refocuses her" and makes her vivacity "burn brighter."
She's literally the light in his eyes in many of the most beautiful shots in the whole movie. He's never committed to one job or one thing in his life before, until he met Ember and fell in love with her. Though it was tough to get her to open up to him and take the risk to be involved with him, he persistently pursued her and showed her nothing but love and respect. Once she was how empathetic and non-judgmental he is, she accepted his influence and his affection. Wade reminds her that it's ok to have dreams and want to live for your own aspirations instead of ones predetermined for you. And Ember inspires him to unleash his passion for the people he loves, and not to give up on that love without a fight.
Such a cool movie man. The creativity is off the chart. Definitely one of my favorite movie and love story that came out recently
A movie that completely BOMBED at the box office in the west and had to be carried by Southeast Asia
It’s interesting cuz the movie is directed by a Korean man who was injecting his own experience into the story. One could argue that westerners aren’t interested/can relate to the Asian or Asian immigrant experience in ways the actual continent’s audience could.
But it’s more likely the fault of piss poor advertising and the fact it came around the time of other movies like Spiderverse, that hurt the box office.
Really, most films bombed this year, with only a few exceptions. If the writers strike keeps going (and I know VFX are starting to unionize), then we should expect more bombs for a while.
I did get the vibe that the fire people are heavily coded as asian and specifically asian immigrants
I like this movie. It definitely had better marketing than Strange World and had a great recovery at the box office. I just wish the trailer didn't focus so much on the love story. The story of an immigrant family trying to live their lives in a new country and dealing with prejudice was always the better story and it's the reason why so many people got into this movie in the first place.
In all fairness, all those rules are there for a reason and it could be a matter of health and safety if people violated them. There may be a difference in the residence of a fire person but you’d need to form a committee just to find new perimeters, but we’ve astonished that fire people don’t really interact with the rest of Element City.
Im pretty sure the point of the boss making it Ember and Wades problem was, the shop shouldn't exist. The whole building was "thrown together" by Embers father, so fixing the leak themselves is payment to keep that fact quiet.
20:22
A storyboard artist actually showed a cut scene abbout that! They were supposed to have a steam baby :)
As a 33 year old man, I can honestly say, that I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! IT slaps... Donno how it could get such a bad rep... I remember seeing the trailer at some point and being like "dope, might be cool.." but than forgot it even existed and when it popped up on Disney+ I was like "huuh? what's this? let's watch and see.." and I cried... ugly cried and laughed too... man was it GOOD!! I told my mom "you have to see Elemental!" and she was like "the whut?!?" Soundtrack rocks and Steal The Show fits so well into Wade's and Ember's blooming romance... GOD!! ppl go watch this movie!!!
I hate seeing all the hate for Elemental when I personally loved this movie. The movie was even inspired by the director's family's immigration and what they faced. Sure the animation is great, but they were able to tell a story in a way that it wasn't overwhelming the audience. I've seen some people criticizing Ember's dilemma over taking over the shop and following her dream and couldn't tell her parents. While you can argue that she could of just told them, most people seek approval from their parents and can't just communicate. Honestly this movie is just able to show the character's personalities pretty well without explaining everything to you
Yes! Watch Brave! Its amazing and so underrated! Elemental has easily become a favorite, just a feel good movie all around. 😊
It’s amazing seeing people who actually appreciate the stunning world building in this movie. Ive heard a lot of people saying it didn’t seem fleshed out enough, I’d have to disagree ✨
i would've liked to see how else the earth and air elementals were like and what they could do, but i understant the movie was focused on fire and water so it's perfectly fine. i would love if there was a sequel that explored more of the world tho because it's so interesting
@@Jzombi301 oh I definitely agree with you there, I do hope they expand on the other elements, I’d definitely love to see them showcase the abilities of the other elements like they did with Fire and Water. Id even like to see them expand more on the water front since I feel like movie spent a lot more time showcasing ambers talents, but maybe I need to do a few rewatches to catch anything I missed.
I try hard to not be a burden or to even really influence others decisions to the point that I might truly require help but am incapable of just asking,
Its a pain in the ass where you logically know better than to stay silent; but your soul prevents you from just asking for it.
If others ask me about needing help its more likely I would mention needing it... but still decades of habit take forever to get rid of.
I found the romantic story really sweet, and hearing your discussions did make me realise a lot more about the undertones of the film. But I do agree with Boom that the leak was not their problem, the wall being broken is more something the city should've resolved immediately given the fatal overall threat it had towards Fire Town as a whole. They kinda got me with the Wade death too, I mean I doubted but they pushed it very close.
Still, it's good that it got more shine post-release, I was very much poorly marketed it was one of those films where you got like 2 trailers and then months of nothing and suddenly it had been out for a few weeks, but people also were quick to write it off. Overall though it had heart so it's good that it got a second wind.
A lot of effort did go into the worldbuilding, they even made an entire language and writing system for the fire people.
If y'all haven't watched Disney-Pixar's Inside Out (2015) yet, I'm thinking you will really enjoy it. It's similar to this one in that a kid watching it will enjoy the aesthetics and basic adventure story, but teens and adults watching it will be like "whoa." Inside Out 2 is set to premiere June 2024.
Your faces when water started to run in the basement 👁️👄👁️, love you guys 😂
In that final family hug i think they looked like a campfire
As Sam from Danny Phantom said in the episode Fanning the Flames 13:01 Flying is nice 13:06 Falling stinks.
Bro I didn’t expect to tear up multiple times watching this movie 😂
This movie actually ended up doing really well in theaters! It turned out to be more of a slow burn at the box office than an immediate hit, but actually did well which I think was great because I ended up really enjoying it!
I loved this reaction! the trailers didn't do it justice, I saw it because of a friend recommendation and only wish I'd seen it sooner. It doesn't deserve the hate it got
funfact; the creators did make a cut image for if wade and ember had a kid, and it showed like a smoke cloud sort of.
It’s kind of odd every time the display cuts in and out. Looks like you guys are watching nothing.
Finally, someone else who are giving this movie a chance 😂
While I understand why your editor essentially muted the movie, I don't understand why there are scenes where we see y'all's shocked faces but don't see what's going on to cause you to make said face.
Because copyright exists
@@BoomSentai You can't use a still picture to give context either?
@@zeekslider with new algorithms nop
@@programmingwithchatti4063 well, if that is the case I guess I'll just have to boot up Disney+ and watch the movie to remind myself what is going on in those missing scenes. Not quite a watch-along, but still.
See the thing is, Bernie more or less started Fire Town himself. The town in the beginning was populated by Water and Earth based Elementals it wasn't until Bernie built his shop that Fire Elementals began to populate it, and become Fire Town. As you might notice Fire Town is VERY far away from Element City. It's not so much that they are being discriminated against but it's mostly that fire people keep to themselves because to all the other elements they are more harmful than they are helpful at the time.
I fricking love this movie dudeee, it's so cutee!
Me too
The trailers made this movie look like a cliche love story, the marketing team is the reason why this gem was almost flopping.
This whole movie is one big flood insurance ad
I love how this movie showcases the true villains: city management
CM: Sorry we didn’t maintain upkeep on the city but because we found the problem in your store, you are getting shut down.
i watched the movie a few weeks after it came out and me and some friends were gonna go watch something else but me and 1 of the others in the group said we wanted to watch this instead and they could still go watch what they were gonna watch and we all went to watch this together instead i almost made it the whole way without crying till it got to wade "dying" and i def cried i thought it was a pretty good movie when i watched it dont get me wrong theres slow parts and some parts of the movie seem empty somehow but overall i really enjoyed the movie glad yall did too
I was just thinking today that I would like to watch these guys react to this sweet.
7:24 sorry but i laugh so hard😂😂😂
I never watched this movie this is going to be amazing love the channel
The criticisms I heard ranged from "It's too woke" to "It's not woke enough". As well as people saying the racist allegories don't work since fire is legitimately dangeros. Watching the movie myself, I don't think Pixar were trying to send any kind of message with this film. There were obvious pokes and parellals to real-life racism/discrimination, but the movie wasn't about that, it wasn't trying to be woke or change peoples' minds or anything, it's literally just "this is a world where the elements are people and and Fire girl falls in love with a Water guy". Fire legitimately being dangerous is a problem that only exists in the world of this movie, and that's not a bad thing. You can still recognise the little inclusions of real-world discrimination and seperate that from the fantasy element.
The best example of how the film touches on discrimination, but isn't ABOUT discrimination, is probably the scene where Wade's uncle(?) comments on how well Ember talks. It's such a collar-tugging moment but it passes quick and the characters just move on from it.
I think the fire thing is in relation to the fact that water, air, and earth elementals naturally get along but they refuse fire
Rather it’s about how they treat fire ppl and not that fire ppl are dangerous. They don’t want to accommodate and perceive fire as a danger
It’s using elementals to speak on discrimination and immigration as a whole
@@BelBelle468 Its also the fact that it came out after a string of films from Disney especially that were trying to send messages over stories and had several coming down the pipe that looked like more of the same so when it came to this one people weren't willing to give it a chance because the advertising made it look like that's what it was. Look fire + water relationship instead of showing other things like Ember's relationship with her dad..
10:17 They were too stunned to speak 🤣
Brave Is definitely one of my favorites
Movies of all time ❤❤❤❤❤
I think whatever fish Dory is, that was a school of them
Water people don't stay fat for too long, since it's just water weight.
The same goes for fire folks since they just burn their chalories.
Does anyone know why they don’t react all together anymore?
5:06 This moment goes to show that racism isn't innate, it's learned behavior.
I'll watch the movie while this is playing so I know which parts are y'all reacting to
I think their kid would be lava boy or something cause it’s the closest to liquid fire you can get! Steam is pretty much just the cloud people which is already one of the elements so I doubt it would be that but yeah.. that’s what I think it could or should be ;)
It's actually confirmed that their kid is steam. They wanted to add an extra scene where Wade and Ember come back to Elemental City with their baby but ended up not adding it. And it makes sense for them to have a steam baby since clouds aren't steam, they're just condensed water made from steam
seeing your faces when there is nothing to see is comical
lol
The next movie must be brave I'm surprised that the three didn't see it
Or if they thought that they needed to be away from the clouds because it erupted and forgot about the blue light and flame so they made to believe that water is dangerous for heat
Amazing movie, story wise, visually, all amazing and at the end I bawled like a water people 🤣😭😍
How have u not watched Rya and the last dragon on Disney
Glad y’all liked this movie, it’s honestly my current favorite Pixar movie.
Ember, another fine contribution to Rule 34.
💀
The reason why no one went to see the movie when it came out was because the commercials looked awful. They didn't show anything from the actual story
I think the issue this film had is it came out a time when people were sick of being preached too about social issues and it sounded from the marketing like it was going to be super woke and preachy so it didn't get well received. Then some people actually saw it when it came out and realized it is pretty much what Pixar has always done take social elements (migrants, racism, generational conflict etc) and address them in a traditional and well done story. Once that word of mouth started reaching people they came back to it and enjoyed it because it is what a film should be an exploration of things that let the audience can figure it out for themselves. A bit more in your face than normal but not enough to bother anyone who isn't looking for a reason to hate it given its intended market was younger viewers. I mean it had all three of you in tears at the end and that's the mark of a good film, well eliciting emotions depending on what that emotion is.
1:03:08 - This is a good idea, I hope you will watch Brave😃
Yes, you have to see Brave! Loved your reactions and the movie! ^_^
1:03:08 Y'all should totally watch brave. It's super good. Probably one of my favorite Pixar movies.
58:34 Pretty much my reaction when I first saw the movie lol
