If I had a nickel for every time a great movie with an amazing message


Got box office bombed because of god-awful marketing


I’d have 2 nickels! Which isn’t a lot but, strange that it happened twice right???

Quest for Camelot is FREE on YouTube Movies at the moment, now is y’all’s chance !!
I can’t believe that in 1998 Warner Bros Animation made an animated Arthurian fairy tale musical featuring a sarcastic blind man voiced by Cary Elwes as the romantic lead and everyone has just been sleeping on it for 23 years
also was I the only one who was in love with him as a kid

The bit where he kisses her harder and then picks her up?? and spins her?? I can’t believe a water droplet with legs and a sentient bonfire did this to me

You’re not wrong that it’s a bit of a hollow victory and a slap in the face to Onward, Luca, Soul and Turning Red
but also, THIS happened barely a year ago:




“Elemental had been the highest grossing pixar film in years!”
Wonder why that could be. Surely it has nothing at all to do with the fact that it’s also the first pixar movie that’s had a theatrical release in years

You’re right - it was! The ‘real’ Ember is actually the director, Peter Sohn. He is the son of Korean immigrants, who grew up in his parents’ grocery store in New York City, married a non-Korean woman, and wanted to pursue art and animation. Many aspects of the story are based on the real experiences of himself and his family. Sohn is the influence behind both Ember’s personal story and Wade’s emotional personality.


And everything about the portrayal of the immigrant experience in the movie came from a very real place. They interviewed dozens of Pixar employees who are immigrants or children of immigrants and story beats were taken from those insights. The film is based on Peter Sohn’s story, but a LOT of first and second generation immigrants also worked on it and added their own experiences and feelings into it as well. And not only people from East Asian countries like Korea, we’re also talking Italy, Ethiopia, India, Peru, France - even the voice of Wade is the son of a Mauritanian immigrant and felt personally connected to the story. In the bonus features of the Elemental home release, there is a fantastic featurette with these employees called Paths to Pixar: The Immigrant Experience, highly recommend if you can find it!
Watching Elemental it was obvious through the movie that Fire people represented Asian people
Things like how important their tradition was to them, or the bow of respect and lastly how their food was "too spicy" for the rest of the people (specifically water)
(There were probably other things too but yeah you get the point)
And at the end of the movie, when they show this picture

This is what screams that all the metaphors were real
And I can't stop thinking that the real "Ember" wanted to be an artist, a cartoon artist specifically (or a writer? Something in the filmmaking industry)
And then made this movie to tell her story and how she felt about continuing her father's dreams and feeling the burden of their sacrifices and how she dealt with racism and fell in love with someone from a different race (which her father hated) and in the end chased her dreams
Like ok- maybe, she didn't include her whole life in the movie as a metaphor but I can't stop thinking that this was personal

Instead of the beautiful scene under the bridge, what if one day they just plain forgot about the ‘we can’t touch’ thing and that was how they discovered they could 😂
