Film critic DMorris_Star takes us through the biggest movies released this week, including Pixar's Elemental. ElementalPixar
Disney had long dominated the animated movie market, having spent the last six decades spreading joy to millions of cinema-going children. Yet the House of Mouse was about to up its game with a partnership that would drive the output of Old Walt’s wondermachine into the new millennium.
However, do we now have a new contender for the Pixar crown? It’s time to get fired up for Elemental – but does this one light a fire in our hearts, or drown us in disappointment? Let’s take a look...
Regardless of the derivative storytelling, Elemental is threaded with moments of wonder and jaw-dropping spectacle and Sohn’s personal history infuses a script penned by John Hoberg, Kat Likkel and Brenda Hsueh with lump-in-throat sentimentality. He is a city inspector working for no-nonsense earth bureaucrat Fern Grouchwood and is duty-bound to report the leak.
Fire, water, earth and air conjure complementary colour palettes, which Sohn and a vast army of animators deliver with verve to match Lewis and Athie’s energetic vocal performances. The intergenerational conflict of Onward, Luca and Turning Red percolates here too, underscoring a rousing central message of family legacy and self-sacrifice.
“So I would surround myself with people and everyday I would say, ‘listen, you guys are all really good at your jobs and you’ve all done them more than I’ve done this job so let’s have an open line of communication. Parent and child seek for a brighter future in a tender and provocative drama written and directed by Moroccan-British filmmaker Fyzal Boulifa.
