Review: If it’s possible for a Pixar movie to be both cute and problematic, “Elemental” might just fit that bill.
Some may read the premise as referring specifically to Asian enclaves: The main Fire character, Ember Lumen, is voiced by Chinese American actress Leah Lewis, and Ember’s father, Bernie, is voiced by Filipino American animator Ronnie Del Carmen.
Okay, so it’s a hodgepodge immigrant allegory. But it’s also a “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”-style love story: Ember, who works in her father’s shop, the Fireplace, meets and eventually falls in love with water inspector Wade Ripple , and decides to hide him from her family, who do not approve of Water people. Wade’s wealthy family, for their part, are limousine liberals, but some of their unconscious biases occasionally bubble up during an amusing, meet-the parents dinner party.
Just think of the sequel, when an Airhead wants to bring her Earth boyfriend home from college to meet her blowhard father. I’ve already got a name for it: “Dust Storm.”
