Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental” is an all-new, original feature film set in Element City, where Fire-,Water-, Earth- and Air-residents live together. The story introduces Ember, a tough, quick-witted and fiery young woman, whose friendship with a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in.
It’s a cute film for the little ones to watch to teach them about the elements. To give the film a deeper meaning, it also teaches them to see past people’s differences and accept them for who they are. Is it entertaining… egh… you could wait for the film to come out on Disney Plus. To be honest the short before the film with Carl and his witty dog was more entertaining. Reason I say this is because the film did seem to drag a bit.
Element City consists of key districts designed for the various elements who settled there. And like many big cities, the city evolved as each element arrived. Water was there first, establishing the canal system, among other foundational aspects of the city, and Earth followed—the city is built on a delta where earth and water
meet. Air was next and, much later, Fire—the city isn’t as well suited to Fire as a result. Filmmakers took this approach to underscore the fact that Ember is forced out of her comfort zone into a city she has never before explored.
Ember works with her dad, Bernie, in the family store, Fireplace. Artists had
to deck it out with products that would be appropriate for Fire characters.
• Kids’ “juice” boxes are actually small kerosene cans with metal straws.
• Baby Fire characters enjoy lighter fluid baby formula.
• Ember delivers bags of Wood Chips (not potato chips).
• Fireplace sells sparklers—buy two get one free—by the cash register.
• Hungry Fire characters might pick up some Frosted Flames, Log Kabobs, Shredded
Kindling, Sooty Snaps, Ash Chips, Fire Crackers, Coal Nuts, Wood Chex, Smoke Puffs,
Burning Rubber Tire Jerky or Sizzle Smacks.
• After sipping a cup of Lava Java or Soot Soot Tea, Ember’s mom Cinder might want to pop a Flint Mint or brush with Tinderpaste.
• Some items feature marketing verbiage to entice Fire characters to buy, buy, buy.
Slogans include Ash Covered, Scorch Free, Xtra Charred and Hot Deal!
