I'm yet to dislike a Disney/Pixar movie*, <em>'Elemental'</em> is another that is a pass in my books. Admittedly, their more recents works haven't had an exceptional impact on me personally; in seven releases since** the sensational <em>'Coco'</em>, I've only given <em>'Turning Red'</em> more (marginally) than 7/10.

This movie it is not intended for kids, it is a nice love story, kind of Romeo and Juliet style, with nice moments, it reminds me of Inside, but without the part that makes it for kids. It is deep, and shows from time to time, inside adult jokes that will need explaining to kids. So I recommend that if kids watch it, **which is ok, nothing weird, it is safe for kids**, an adult will be present to answer questions ...
