Independent (UK)

Gentle and humane but never raw or vulnerable.

Rated: 3/5

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

A bit like Inside Out meets Zootropolis – but not as fully worked out as either – it’s a movie of lovely, radiant moments.

Rated: 3/5

For the Win (USA Today)

It’s not often you get an original concept from Pixar that doesn’t work.

Film Companion

Elemental manages to be pleasantly heart-warming, if not nearly as profound or affecting as some of the studios’ previous projects.

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review cannon Great movie little emotional Rated 5/5 Stars • 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! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Jahsoulay W. Omgosh!! AMAZING!! Pixar has done it again, I feel like since all the movies since 2020 have been mid, but THIS ONE!
