Just watched Elemental last night. The marketing really was the reason it bombed. The trailers made it look like a forbidden love story, but it was actually about the struggles of immigrant families and 2nd generation immigrants’ pressures of living up to their parents’ dreams.
It lacked the wide age range appeal other Pixar movies manage to pull off. I didn’t like the fundamental elements as a metaphor for race/culture either, it’s sort of racist to imply people of different backgrounds are so fundamentally different like that, although it did serve as a strong visual for the story. It would have been more accurate if the characters were projecting fundamental differences on to the same element, like different phases of water or something. That was the only real thing I thought was actually wrong with it, otherwise it just lacked the magic that other Pixar movies have.
If you enjoy animation, yes. It’s not the top tier of Pixar but it’s not near the bottom either. I was pleasantly surprised.
Tim Hortons is low-mid tier at best… Did you feel anything?
Have you talked to a Canadian in the past 15 years? Tim’s is low tier. Perhaps the bottom. McDonald’s coffee is even leagues ahead. Tim’s changed their bean supplier years ago and I’ve heard McDonald’s now uses it.
Kinda, what happened is Tim Hortons used to get their coffee from a supplier that would roast the beans for them, when they were bought out they switched to roasting their own beans which was cheaper.
When McDonald’s entered the market they approached that same supplier and a blend was created for them, its not the same roast as Tim Hortons. But it is a premium roast vs Tim Hortons roasting on the cheap. Which is why Tim Hortons coffee got weaker. McDonald’s coffee is more akin to what Tim Hortons used to be.
Only Chinese-Canadians that turn into red pandas though.
Can we sue pixar for copying from a flash game?
Fire and water aren’t even real elements 🤷
