Elemental

[psocoptera]

Elemental, 2023 Pixar movie. Had some good moments but didn't entirely hang together overall (did they just never resolve the leak/flooding plotline?), and I have some issues with the whole "magical metaphors for racism/culture clash" thing. Like, we very casually see Ember burn all the leaves off one of the tree people on the subway - doesn't that send a message that there are some reasonable reasons for segregation in the element world?

Also, sigh, Dads. I guess having done Moms in Turning Red they have concluded they can get back to the favorite topic of all animated films.
