disney marketing is doing its animated films sooooo dirty. elemental came out father’s day weekend and has a beautiful father/daughter story at the center of it, but you wouldn’t know it from the advertising. elemental could’ve (and SHOULD HAVE) been a slam-dunk, but disney didn’t capitalize on what sets it apart from similar movies. they did the same thing to strange world and they’ll probably do it to wish, even though that is supposed to be their big milestone celebration.
marketing can make or break a movie and disney is failing their movies

Ember's hoodie
I dunno if I'm making stuff up but I really liked this little detail from the whole Ember x Wade dating sequence: layers. Layers of opening up showed through Ember's clothes.
During the very first date we see Ember in her jacket being awkward/nervous and covering herself with her jacket's hoodie. Also dimming herself literally coz damn those people in the movies.
But look at the next scene when we see our fave couple! Guess who's wearing less layers but still with a hoodie attached? I don't know if it's the continuation of the same date or the next one but there's no jacket in sight so either 1) Ember has some very big pockets 2) throws the jacket in the trash somewhere 3) left it at home. Still we see she's more comfortable with this new situation she's in: going out with Wade and being in a big city (that one city lacking accessibility for the fire folk btw)
The next scene seems like no biggie but nope. It's time for Ember to finally be okay the way she is and showing it to the others.
Look at her go!
This fire girl doesn't need to cover herself up anymore so we never see her wearing her 'layers' during the dates.
And what happens in the end? Ember's showing her different colors lol. Well I guess this time it's more literally than metaphorically (or maybe?) but way to go giiirl!!
P.S. all gifs are made by me so don't worry

Thoughts I Have After Seeing Elemental For the First Time 😈🥬
Yes, there are spoilers below! If you have not seen the movie and have issues with spoilers, keep scrolling. Thank you!
That being said, let’s dive in!
🔥 Not only are her parents immigrants but they speak a made up language called Firish. As an Irish American person, I thought that was cute!
💧 The Manticore from Onward is no longer the most relatable character to service workers. That honor goes to Ember now.
🔥 Yes, customers are really this stupid and entitled. The sparkler buy one get one free scene is a gold star example of that.
💧 Wade Ripple is who more men should be like; sweet, sensitive, loving, devoted, and charming but also awkward in an adorable way.
🔥 I never laughed so hard at the death of a grandmother ever. That was definitely not written to be sad at all.
💧 Wade isn’t afraid to say how he feels about Ember in front of his entire family and that’s very ballsy but way too fast.
🔥 Their date was so precious and the song in that scene is repeating on Spotify right now.
💧 I love that they eat wood chips and drink lava coffee.
🔥 Those flowers are absolutely stunning. And so is Embers glasswork.
💧 The antics between Cinder and the Door Man were wonderful. The Door Man also looks like the most huggable water guy.
🔥 I went awwwww in my head when their hands touched for the first time. It was such a sweet moment and I didn’t like that things went south after that.
💧 Would they be able to have sex? Because from the beginning of the film, we know element women can physically get pregnant. So a water penis in a fire vagina does what? Would she evaporate it away?
🔥 The kiss they shared near the end if the film was so sweet. Honestly one of the best kissing scenes written by Pixar tbh, with apologies to Linguini and Collette.
💧 Do male earth elements grow floral pubic hair like their armpit hairs? Imagine having flowers for pubes.
🔥 What’s the wedding gonna be like? Because I bet Ember would walk down the aisle in a stained glass gown.
What if it looked something like this?? 👀🔥
💧 Ember loves her father but was trying too hard to make him proud. It was unfair for him to never ask her what she wanted out of life.
🔥 Wade saving the blue flame: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
💧 Of course I wanted to cry when Wade started evaporating but I knew he’d come back somehow.
🔥 He went through all of that for her.
💧 They way he offers his hand 🥹🥹🥹
🔥 Hell, the way he looks at her. That’s love man.
💧 Marco and Polo are so cute!!
🔥 Love love LOVE all the chainmail and glass fire people are wearing! Especially that glass robe!
💧 If I were a fire person, I would just stand in front of a fan all day
🔥 THEIR STROLLERS ARE GRILLS 😭😭😭
💧 What if they had a baby? Would the baby be made of steam? Is it gonna be a…. Steam punk?
🔥 How much is Wades monthly rent because DAMN. This apartment is super swanky.
💧 So there is both biotic water people and abiotic water. And they can make themselves one with that water
🔥 Wades the dude that becomes everybodys best friend the second they meet him while Ember can barely talk to anybody.
💧 KISS ME IM FIRISH
🔥 This shot is cute af, look at bby Ember with dad Bernie 🥹
💧 Wade Ripple definitely eats out.
