Wow, this may be one of my favorite Pixar films. Great voice actors and a simple yet sweet storyline. Everything you would expect from Pixar.
Let us address the elephant in the room: the animation. The animation is top-notch. The characters flow so smoothly. The city-building is really neat, similar to Zootopia. Pixar spared no expense, and it's definitely worth it.
The storyline is kind of a typical opposites-attract love story, but the concept of using literal polar opposites (fire and water) is very unique. Other elements (no pun inteded) are also weaved into the story, like how Ember's torn between her relationship with her family and her relationship with Wade. I also like how it wasn't a love-at-first-sight thing. It was gradual. The main storyline is simple, but makes the story not souly focused on the love part, but contributes to it. I liked the storyline very well.
But my favorite element (okay, I'm done!) was the characters! I didn't really connect, per say, to any of the characters, but I loved them all! But let's just talk about the two main lovebirds.
Ember Lumen is a "fiery young woman" who has a hot temper. She really wants to please her father by taking over the family shop. But this isn't really what she wants to do, but she is afraid to tell her father. Despite this, she is generally kind. But she is brought out of her shell by...
Wade Ripple, a "go-with-the-flow guy" who is everything Ember's not, physically and mentally. He is my personal favorite character. He is just an average water guy, hopping around from job to job. Ah, and I love his family! So sweet! They do cry a lot though...
But my favorite part of the movie was when Wade sacrificed himself for Ember... it was so bittersweet. And of course this is Pixar, so they had to bring him back, and I love how they played the Crying Game! I love it. But there were many other parts I loved as well.
Overall this movie is wonderful, visually beautiful, and practically perfect in every way. I would highly recommend, 10/10.
