Pixar's 'Elemental' Uses Immigrant Love Story to Promote Understanding

Pixar's new movie "Elemental" mixes a tender romance with an immigrant story and characters representing the four elements living in proximity in Element City.
The movie tells the story of Ember, the daughter of immigrant parents who left Fire Land to come to the city, seeking a better life.
The story takes place in Element City, a Manhattan analogue founded by the first droplet to ooze out of the primordial sea, where the four classical elements (water, earth, air, and fire) coexist.The film's loveliest stretches watch the pair tentatively discover each other's habitats, and their romance doesn't rush a beat.
The staggering design ambition balances out the plot's affecting, relatable ordinariness, which kicks in a couple of decades after the Lumens settle in and open a store that ignites a thriving fire community.
Ember's family doesn't mix as much with the rest of Element City as others do.
