Elemental was structured perfectly. The story was very poignant, yet was still simple enough for the younger children to understand the message. They tackled some difficult issues and brought them to a level that the whole audience could appreciate.
I’d say this is the perfect family movie. I was lucky enough to see it with my mother and my granddaughter. I can honestly say that it will appeal to anyone from eighty years old right down to a toddler. The look of the movie was so pleasing to the eye that sometimes I found myself just staring at the pretty stuff. I loved the songs they did and the characters were heartwarming, to say the least.

This movie would be a great way to spend a family day together. I highly recommend it.
Grade: A+
About The Peetimes: Note: Before Elemental begins an 8-minute cartoon titled, “Carl’s Date,” is shown. Do not start your timer until the cartoon ends and you see the Disney introduction screen flash, “Disney 100.” I recommend the 2nd Peetime, it gives you a little more time to work with.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Elemental.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
Elemental was an absolute delight to watch! The storytelling was masterfully done, balancing poignancy with simplicity, making it accessible for viewers of all ages, including young children. It’s commendable how the film tackled challenging themes and presented them in a way that resonated with the entire audience. As a family movie, it truly excelled, as I had the pleasure of watching it with my mother and granddaughter, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
