So, I stumbled upon this article about the latest Pixar movie, Elemental, and it looks like it’s going to be one hot ride. The official trailer is all sorts of gorgeous, as powerful elements like fire, wind, earth, and water come to life in stunning animation.
From what I gathered, the plot of Elemental revolves around a young girl named Aria, who discovers she has the ability to control the elements. This puts her in the middle of a battle between forces of good and evil, and she must learn to master her powers to save her world from destruction. It sounds like classic Pixar fare, with a mix of adventure, humor, and heart.
Personally, I’m excited to see Pixar tackle the idea of elemental powers. It’s a concept that’s been explored in many different ways over the years, from Avatar: The Last Airbender to Captain Planet (the latter being a favorite of mine from childhood), but I have no doubt that Pixar will bring their own unique spin to it.
The article also mentions that the movie will be Pixar’s first to feature an all-Latino voice cast, which is a welcome step towards more diverse representation in media. I think it’s important for kids to see characters that look and sound like them on screen, and I hope this marks the beginning of more inclusive storytelling in Hollywood.
All in all, I’m definitely adding Elemental to my list of must-watch movies for this year. It’s got everything I love about Pixar, plus a fresh new concept and some important representation. Can’t wait to see it!
