4 Surprising Facts About Pixar’s ELEMENTAL

4 surprising facts about Pixar’s Elemental movie. No. 1, the cactus people wearing beanies have a purpose in real life. During the winter, these plants are covered with styrofoam cups or even Santa hats to protect them from below freezing temperatures. No. 2, during the air ball game, the water people form a wave to cheer for their favorite teams. This cheering style is a reference to the iconic sports cheer in real life, also known as “the Mexican wave”. No. 3, one of Wade’s family members, Lake Ripple, turns out to be gender-fluid. This makes Elemental the first Pixar movie to have a non-binary character. And no. 4, the upper deck of the train allows air people to have their own space. Plus, they get free air conditioning. That’s a wonderful privilege, isn’t it?

The thing is this “gender fluid” character has no lines at all and Pixar just announced on their own that they’re non binary. “Look at us!! We’re so inclusive!!! Look!! Look!!” Anyways it can’t necessarily be a hidden detail when it’s not hinted at anywhere in the story 😭 Edit: I just want to be clear that this comment is NOT an invitation to be transphobic or hateful. My comment wasn’t about having an issue with the character, it was the fact that Disney wanted a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum when it comes to representation!!

My favorite fact about Elemental is that the writer “Peter Sohn” based it off of his family’s story.

Sohn’s dad started off as a Hot Dog vendor, and saved money to buy a building which would become their store.
