First Time Watching - Elemental - I'm not crying, You're Crying 

You see the reason why ember's dads mad about him Watering the food down is equal to when someone tries to change a different culture's food to make them like it better.

Clod perfectly represents the twelve-year-old. Who's going through the macho phase

As Korean, I can feel that this movie represents the korean immigrants who moved to america. The water guy represents american, the fire girl represents korean. Korean does the 'big bow' to the parents. And fire girl can eat coal(spicy food) well, and water boy can't. Movie directer's parents were the immigrants from korea, and he made this movie with their several expirences. Sorry for my short Eng..😂❤

I love this movie so much. The animation on the fire, water, and air people is revolutionary, the powers and abilities they have are are very creative, I love how they created an entire original language for the fire people, the music is awesome, and I like the arc Ember goes through.

People are too hard on Disney/Pixar they complain about remakes but don’t give these originals their chance

Wade is such a good take on a character in tune with their emotions. Being emotional was played as a strength rather than a weakness in him.

Fun fact: Wade and Ember being able to touch without killing each other is based on real science. It's called the Leidenfrost effect, which is when something hot like Ember touches a liquid like Wade and a layer of steam is created which acts as an insulator which keeps the rest of the liquid from evaporating.

I swear, Ember and Wade are just perfect for each other in so many ways imaginable. Their love is just so powerful throughout this entire movie, when they hold hands and kiss, my heart literally melted. I was just in complete awe. One of the greatest couples I’ve seen, definitely one of my top favourites. Well done, Pixar! 100/10!!! ❤🔥💧❤ We need a sequel with them having a steam baby possibly, that would be amazing. Just showing how much more powerful Ember’s and Wade’s love for each other has become.

2:59 cinder was pregnant when they arrived.

I cried like Niagra Falls in the theater when I saw this! Great film indeed! 👍👍👍👍👍

The approval scene at the end, with the bow, hits me every time. It shows respect and approval, and that is beautiful ❤

Thomas Newman’s score in this film is terrific. Naturally, the visuals are as impressive as ever, as well. Those aspects are enough to make the movie good enough, but combining all of these elements still left a bit more to be desired.

Father started to hate water when it hurt his pregnant wife in the beginning of the movie. :)

I loved how they combined Irish and Ireland with fire to create Fireland and Firish! So clever! And the way immigration was shown here was subtle but still easy to see for anyone who knew what to pay attention to, both the positive and the negatives.

omg i cant wait to watch your reaction. i watched Elemental last week and it was literally sooooo cute. i cried of happiness lol.

This movie is a beautiful romcom that shows interesting themes. Interracial yes but also first gen interracial. Having the pressure to honor and keep the old country and culture while being born in a brand new world. Navigating living in a diverse society. I believe they wanted Ember to never think of the shop as her dream, but more she always wanted to make her Father proud. I am a first gen on my fathers side, and my parents are an interracial couple as well. My Dad had to go thru not being accept by my Mom's side. they both experienced prejudice. As I grew up I experienced prejudice as well. I also was pressured into stuff my parents want. This movie really showed a small part of society not often talked about.

dont care what people online says elemental is one of the best pixar movies since incrdibles in my book

18:00 so when they are picking each other's seed that's a bit of an innuendo for how plants procreate. 👀

Saw this movie on digital a while ago. It had a sweet story between Ember and Wade. I did get emotional at the end as well. All things considered, Elemental was decent. Not exactly a Pixar showstopper, but otherwise a good watch.

i really wasn't expecting this movie to be so sincere, grounded, and emotionally resonant.

I love how you always relate these movies to personal stories and memories. I think that's what sets you apart from a lot of reviewers. Beautiful story teller!

This movie made me cry so bad. As an immigrant kid in NYC, all of the themes revolving around racism, generational trauma, privilege, and the nods to the immigrant experience in NYC like Ellis island and grand central- made me so emotional. This one really hit home for me.

This movie definitely resonates as a child of an immigrant mom and as the product of an interracial/cross-cultural relationship. It's not the best film by Pixar but it deserves more appreciation for tackling those topics in a creative way, especially since they're rarely if ever the focus of family-oriented films. It actually reminds me a lot of _My Big Fat Greek Wedding_ , which is worth reacting to if you haven't seen it. That also covers the story of a first-gen child of immigrant parents who falls in love with someone outside her culture, but it's a bit more on the comedic side and a really fun watch

The crying game. Where wade mentions the summer. But the next never came.. It’s a reference to THE NOTEBOOK. 😭🤣 this movie had me in tears like wade. It automatically became a main favorite. Pixar nd Disney out did themselves on this one.

I love this one. It is one of those movies which will help open up conversations with children. Some topics are easier to talk about when there is a visual story to go along side.

I love this movie so much. It became one of my top 5 pixar movies

my nephew is special-needs with autism and he loves this movie. I watch it probably 2 or 3 maybe 4 times a day sometimes whenever I watch him while his dad‘s at work.

I knew that deep bow at the end would get you! You thought you were done with that tissue, lol.

This film made me cry a lot - I wasn't sobbing, but it made me feel so much

It would be interesting to see the hybrids of elements or combinations of elements from the interracial love

I just watched this on Disney+ this past weekend and LOVED IT! I also watched the BTS/Making Of documentary on Disney+ right after it and that was really fascinating! Highly recommend.

The fire people are assumedly a parallel to Koreans (which I think is VERY cool representation as a Korean American). I believe the director, Peter Sohn, based it off his experiences growing up in a family of Korean immigrants in America. There are definitely some similarities to Korean culture (the hot food being like how Korean culture has a lot of spicy food, the 'big bow' being something we literally do, the complicated relationship with parents and their expectations for their children being a famously Asian thing, etc). Ultimately though, it's non-specific enough where it can connect to immigrant families of any culture Also, they DID show why Ember's parents have such a negative view of water people. Their entire lives after moving to Element City, they've had difficulties because of water people. From being put out by their water (2:19 in this video), to not being accepted by them because they're 'dangerous' (18:22), to literally having their store's merchandise be damaged by them as a form of harassment (4:14). It obviously shouldn't apply to ALL water people, but you can understand why they have those prejudices after all of the struggles they've been through

I really didn't expect much of this movie because of the bad hype of today's animation movies, but Elemental was on top of couple animation in 2023 no cap.

All commenters are like why is he (Wade) so scared of the rushing water. Because it can dilute and scatter him, (it could be the wrong type of water as well maybe it wouldn't mesh well with his body). Too much water can take out anything.

The most emotional reactioner I have ever seen ❤

"why does fire hate water?" oh idk would you hate someone who's very existence could kill you just by tripping onto you 😂😂😂

This movie was inspired by Pete Sohn's own childhood, teenage years and early adulthood. Like with Bernie and Cinder, Pete's parents immigrated from Korea to New York where they opened up a fruits and vegetables shop, how they had with prejudice and racism from non-asian people plus the culutural clash between them and Sohn's then girlfriend (now wife) and similar to Ember, Pete and his brothers were meant to take over the store once their parents got too old too work. This movie was dedicated to Sohn's parents as they passed away during the production. Pete Sohn animated at Pixar since Finding Nemo., voiced characters like The Mugger in The Incredibles, Emile in Rataouille (both directed by Brad Bird), Squishy in Monsters University, Forrest Woodbush in The Good Dinosaur and nearly became the new Pixar Good-Luck Charm (similar to John Ratzenberger who voiced a character from Toy Story up to Onward but for some reason didn't in Soul and hasn't voiced any Pixar character ever since) Ciccio in Luca and Sox in Lightyear and an addition to directing his movie, he also did The Good Dinosaur taking over from Bob Peterson (who co-directed Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo and Up).

I loved it, I think Wade is just the best!

3:23 to 3:26 Father-daughter bonding, so cute.

Idk if im wrong but this the first love story theme for a pixar film

17:36 Rogue can touch Gambit, it takes some time but at some point Gambit is able to, its either resist or not be effected by her draining his energy. The Romeo and Juliet connection is there along with the interracial relationships. There's family telling them no and then society adds in their opinions. The matter of not many songs with lyrics well this is Pixar more so than Disney. Pixar is incredible when it comes to its soundtrack even if there's little to no lyric songs.

i bawled like a baby at the movie theater when they did the bow

I love this movie so much I cried while watching this movie definitely my favorite Pixar movie

Fun fact wads mother was supposed to be the villain and she wasted to get ride of fire town

Im not crying, you're crying... is exactly what you say watching this movie. It had me in tears, I felt so called out by Disney lol.

You know, I feel like some of the problems with this movie. Was the fact people expected too much? Not every movie by the studio has to be groundbreaking. Some can be just a fun movie.

Love your reaction❤, Im glad your edit get most of popular and important scene in it.

I watched this twice in theatres, second time in 3D. It was great both times! Great reaction, a part of me wishes I could see your wife's reaction as well. I hope your girls love it if you show it to them!

Even though it's the highest grossing original animated film in soo long, which is a feat in a post-COVID post-Disney+ world, this film's box office is special cause it opened with the lowest opening weekend since Pixar's first film and then it just kept going and going and never dropping in the box office until it passed 486mil. It's special cause this happened in almost every country as well; opened very low but just kept going and going with word of mouth. For context: animated films opening so low make 200-250mil, Elemental doubled that.

14:23 I couldn’t stop laughing at this scene 😂😂😂

Loved this movie! It made me sob, but it was gorgeous and so romantic. Definitely a new favourite ❤

JV, word of advice. Not every movie has a villain

I love this movie

Went to watch this in theatres, absolutely loved it! ✨️

The Earth Couple that picked each others apples and their embarressed reactions when Ember and Wade saw it, highly suggest that it's an intimate thing among Earth People, like foreplay or something like that.

I love all the puns in the movie did you notice them?

UNDERRATED movie! Deserves more recognition! Loved this movie so much 🤍

Great story and awesome movie.

He's right 24:30

I've never been so entertained in my life!

Thx for the reaction

I'm not crying, you're crying! *bawling* Edit: I just see couples. I don't know why society has to be a prick. If I see a black and white couple, 2 men together, 2 women together, a nonbinary person, a man presenting feminine, a trans person etc idc it's just people being happy and being themselves.

Good reaction

Its so cool seeing non gaming channels mention Subnautica. Such a good game

Did you know that the actor of Wade is the actor of Ramsay Cole in Jurassic World Dominion, Mamoudou Athie?

omgggg dude the way you were like his dad... died?? had me loling for like real

I cried so much at the end like the water people 😂😂😂😭😭

Actually, I think Queen Opaline Arcana disguised as an Ice Spirit Girl called Olivia Avaro will go to Elemental City as the most Popular and Famous Spirit Girl in the World, because all the Spirits of Different Elementals of Elemental City are in love with her, well, actually, everyone except Wade Ripple, because he only has romantic feelings for Ember Lumen, but Queen Opaline Arcana has only come to Elemental City to trick and manipulate Ember Lumen to find out where live her family and the other Fire Spirits and then betray her by revealing her true colors and her true identity after she managed to absorb her family and all the Different Elementals Spirits in Elemental City, especially all the Fire Spirits in Elemental City, except Wade Ripple and Ember Lumen, because she wants to marrying Wade Ripple in order for him to be her King of Elemental City and Equestria and to rule Elemental City and Equestria as the Queen of Elemental City and Equestria, but luckily, the true biological youngest daughter of Argyle Starshine and Queen Opaline Arcana called Princess Sunshine Sophia "Sunny" Starscout and with the help of her friends, her childhood best friend and boyfriend Harold "Hitch" Trailblazer and her others friends Princess Zephyrina "Zipp" Storm, Princess Pephyrina "Pipp" Petals, Isabelle "Izzy" Moonbow and Michelle "Misty" Brightdawn help Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple to defeat Queen Opaline Arcana forever.

What type of earbuds are you wearing? They look dope 🙂

Ngl Wade makes me think of you. Mainly because he cries easily.

Cool video

5:57 to 5:58 Yeah, been there.

I honestly, to my surprise, actually enjoyed watching this movie. While not perfect, it's still very fun to watch; and some scenes were emotional enough to touch me. The animation is unique, the story is good, the music is catchy, and the characters are fun. And the chemistry between Wade and Ember is pretty believable, because it does take its time to develop it - even if you can tell almost right away. And I suppose their personalities almost match their elements: Ember has trouble with her fiery temper, while Wade tends to be a sympathetic crier. To me, Wade and Ember have one of the most realistic relationships in any Disney movie, because while you can tell there is something between them, they still start off as good friends, and confirm their love near the end of the movie; thus becoming a real couple. They say opposites attract, and that's very true in their case - but they also have things in common. The moment when Ember met Wade's family was fun to watch because it showed how far society has come to accepting others; and yes, the game where Wade made Ember cry for the first time was very touching because it what sparked their true feeling for each other. It would have been nice to hear more about Wade's father; like what kind of man he was, what he did for a living, and what caused his relationship with Wade to drift away. It also would have been nice to see more of Clod, he definitely should of had a bigger role. I also wish they explained more of the crack in the dam - did it just get old, or was it caused by something? The part where Ember and Wade have an argument over their differences, that I also wish had a bit more attention put to it. I mean, Ember got her say on how she feels, but Wade never really explained his point of view. Maybe he could have told Ember that just because he comes from luxury, he never truly did what he wanted because of everything his father expected of him growing up - and his dying wish was for Wade to find his own path. Also, Wade could have told Ember that the reason his family has money is because of how much hard work they put into making a life for their families. Overall, I did enjoy the movie. And I actually thought that Wade died in the end - but it's Disney; they don't do that. And I'm actually glad they didn't. It would have been nice to see more of Ember and Wade's childhood. Maybe have them cross each other's paths multiple times (as they grew up), but never actually interacted. And the movie could have also explained why the are things fire can touch, while there are things that burst into flames. If there's ever a sequel...I'd watch it. Maybe it could be about Wade and Ember getting married and starting a family.

is this better than the good dinosaur because its directed by the same dirrector i wonder if people are too hard on that film it went though a lot of problems in production

BOOM 17:02

This movie has a lot of adult jokes in the movie. I like this movie, but somehow it's just not great. I dont know why that is. But you can hear it in your reaction too. It's just more flat than with other movies. But it's still a nice movie 🤷‍♀️

It was the word of mouth that allowed it to make a comeback in theaters.
