The color animation is what got me interested in seeing this movie as well as the name. ELEMENTAL.
Elemental reminded me that humans are created from the very elements featured in the movie. So for me, it had a deeper meaning. My takeaway is that although fire and water are not a mix, when there is love anything can be conquered.
The second takeaway is that parents don't always have the right answer for every situation.
Parents shouldn't expect their children to follow in their footsteps because it creates friction and stress. Most people want to follow their own path toward a goal.
