I was honestly surprised by how emotionally impactful this movie is! All the little details about being an immigrant in this film rly spoke to a LOT of people. My parents are immigrants as well so being able to watch this with them was incredibly touching and refreshing! :)

[@thebestofstephx]

Right??? This movie came out of nowhere! I’m glad you could watch it with your family! ❤️❤️

[@stephenwilliams5004]

Fun fact when Wade and Ember first hold hands. What you see is actually a real thing called the Leidenfrost effect. Basically when a liquid comes in contact with a very hot object, an insulating vapor layer is formed that prevents the whole of the liquid from boiling.

[@thebestofstephx]

I love that! Thanks for sharing!

[@saraislfe14]

A lot of people hated this movie but I loved it and bawled while watching it😭 bc everything ember was experiencing concerning just tryna make her dad proud and tryna figure herself out and everything with family is exactly what I’ve been going through my whole life and the movie just really hit me hard and wade omg such a sweet guy😭💯

[@thebestofstephx]

I’m so glad you connected with it so much! I’m so sorry you’ve gone through that! ❤️❤️

[@saraislfe14]

@@thebestofstephx Thank youu!❤️ And it’s okayyy, hopefully one day it gets better and I’m able to overcome these things fs😁

I don't know why people hate on it it's amazing tbh

I did not hate it

Whoever worked on Elemental needs to fire the advertising team, because you would not BELIEVE how many people have refused to see this masterpiece because of how much they showed Clod in the trailers. He was on screen for less than five minutes. I came out of the the theater sobbing and wondering if I saw a different movie than what it was advertised for.

[@thebestofstephx]

EXACTLY!!

[@Enderstorm20]

Fun fact: Ember and Wade being able to touch is based in real-life science. It's called the Leidenfrost effect which is when water like Wade touches a hot surface like Ember, it creates a layer of steam like the one you see when they first touch which acts as a barrier between them, preventing either of them from killing each other.

[@lizryan7451]

Disney absolutely did this movie dirty in terms of advertising! I was not expecting such a cute, charming interracial love story that also tackled a girl struggling to reconcile her desire to follow her own dreams with her perceived duty to carry on the legacy her immigrant father built. I don't really have personal reference for either situation, but the story was far more touching and impactful than I ever would have guessed judging from the advertising alone. Even if it was never destined to be one of Disney-Pixar's greatest, I really think a little more effort to convey what the movie was actually about would have piqued more interest and done it a lot of good.

[@jademuseplays]

This movie is my goals for my own personality. I want to be as kind and compassionate to others as Wade was

[@thebestofstephx]

I love that!!

[@roojieq86]

This movie spoke to the immigrant experience so well. As a first generation in the US, this one got me

[@thebestofstephx]

❤️❤️❤️

[@rachelblanchard7431]

Also, my personal favorite part of this movie Was when Ember said “And speaking of ready we are more than ready for you to actually buy something if you ever get up off your lazy ash.” It’s funny how instead of saying the word as they replace it with ash, which in my opinion, I thought it was absolutely hilarious and clever.

[@thebestofstephx]

It was so funny 😂

[@hannahburke7328]

5:02 Yep! Disney Pixar's First Rom Com On Elements. 😍😍

[@PeterTheMightyPygmyPuff]

I think this might be my favorite Pixar movie. My grandparents were immigrants, and this basically felt like their story, and the story of my parents raised by immigrants. I wasn't expecting this movie to be so amazing, but I really loved it.

[@poppy7599]

I was SO MAD after watching this, because it’s so GOOD, and there was no indication that it was supposed to be good at all. Disney really messed up the marketing here. This movie is amazing

[@rachelblanchard7431]

The first several times, I have watched this movie, I loved every single moment of it. All the way to all the fire jokes, the LITERAL waterworks - pun intended - And the beautiful romance between Ember and Wade.

[@Akins560]

The scientific and physics details in this movie are SO AWESOME 👌 ❤

[@cheyanngluck8194]

Yeah Disney's marketing team really dropped the ball with this one. This movie has so much heart but you wouldn't have known in by the trailers. I admit, i thought it was going to be stupid and didn't want to see it. Well, one heartbreak and two betrayals later I wanted to watch something stupidly romantic while crying out my feelings, and this movie delivered above and beyond.

[@ElfsArt24]

I watched this movie 3 days in a row when it first came to streaming, it's so good!!! I love Wade and Ember so much. The marketing still doesn't do it justice. If they had marketed it as a rom-com more people would have seen it

Greetings! 48 yo male metalhead here. I wanted to let you know that your videos are delightful. I discovered She-Ra a few months ago and it opened my heart and changed my life, so I went down the KZbin rabbit hole and found your stuff. It was wonderful watching She-Ra again through your eyes. I've checked out other things per your suggestions. The Owl House was exceptional. Like She-Ra it seemed to be for little kids at first, and quickly became about adult-level love and trauma. I consider myself an adult like Eda :) Keep up the great work. I enjoy listening to you make that "MMM-M-M-M-M!!” sound that means something just hits your heart. You'll never review it, but if you ever have a chance to watch Helluva Boss I think you'd enjoy it. Also, someday, check out Robotech/Macross. I grew up on it, and I think you'll understand why She-Ra and The Owl House spoke to me. Love is ALWAYS the answer (also, believing in yourself and the power of friendship are pretty cool, too). Thanks again for what you do. You earned another subscriber.

I’ve heard this movie described ad “Zootopia but with elements” i can see that, but this movie is so much more

[@LittleMan27]

I love this movie so much, I was crying when I first saw. I also love all the puns in this movie.

[@meganclare7]

I think I went in with low expectations, so I enjoyed watching it more than if I heard hype. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. I'm glad you're watching it.

This movie truly was a fabulous joy to watch in theaters. And I’m VERY glad indeed that it ended up being the unexpected hit at the box office that it was :)

💿 this is a great movie and now I have to buy on dvd. Truly enjoyed watching this, thank you for doing the reaction here.

I thought he was gonna turn into a cloud because that's what clouds are made of, not necessarily air. But yeah, I tend not to think about it too much when I watch this movie. It's a good movie.

They had to promote the earth kid because we was the only earth character that had a name, so unfortunately he was in the promotion, but this was one of my favorite animated films of the year.

When i was watching this all i could think was “Aang would rule this place in a minute”

As someone who works retail i can confirm some customers are in fact this annoying and stupid -_-

[@lulystalgianature2968]

Didn't you do this one already? Huh. Must've been someone else. Not Pixar's best, but definitely not as bad as some people believe. I'm glad I gave it a chance 😀

[@thebestofstephx]

Nope! Brand new for me!

[@DavidB-2268]

This movie got caught up in the the anti-Disney, "go woke, go broke", right-wing hate. That, and I don't think Disney knew how to properly advertise it.
