Movie #3078 ........................."Elemental" (movie theatre)

 Movie #3078 "Elemental" (movie theatre)  Disclaimer:  I don't like a lot of animation, even since I was a little kid -- to me, it is all in the story, and as a former teacher of writing, I guess that makes sense.  That being said, this story was lacking sense to me --- but I have felt that way about  a lot of the latest ones, so once again, it is tough for me to judge if kids would like this --- the kids we had with us did like it, but I didn't.  I missed the point of the whole thing, except for a major comment on climate change.  I can honestly say I was never drawn in to the story, the love angle, or the conflict --- I just didn't care.  But the film was colorful and busy on the eyes.  I'd give it a weak 3.  This one needed a lot more comedy.

"ELEMENTAL"             2023      1 hour and 41 min (long for animation, to me)

Follows Ember and Wade, in a city where fire-, land-and air-resident live together.
