The movie had a gender fluid character and it tackled "racism" but I did not know it from the trailers. My kids simply did not care about it in the least and neither did I.
And here lies the problem with the movie, it was just a medium for propaganda with no interesting plot. If you looked at the trailers you get a setup of a city full of elementals and that there is some romance between pathetic water dude and the fiery girl, that is it.
Damn Disney and their push for element blending! Steam kids? Mud babies? The madness has to stop before they breed the beautiful brownness out of the earth people! 4 elements, 4 combinations, 4 our future!
I'm not so sure. I've hardly seen any advertising for this movie, and I feel like elemental concept was kind of dumb in the first place. They also already have Zootopia, which judging by the trailers was the exact same movie already but with animals.
Zootopia was at least clever enough to make everyone the bad guy instead of pinning all of society's ills on one faction.
It was actually the sheep who were behind everything though.
That will only work once, maybe twice. After that then you will see people stop going to the movies altogether
Baffles me it took this long for them to come up with it, really.
Shark Boy and Lava Girl did this to better effect like 15 years ago, lol…
And that is saying something, given how shit that movie was…
Weren’t Shark Boy and Lava Girl brother and sister, or am I thinking of Spy Kids?
Spy Kids. Same director, production team, and general vibe, though (albeit with less Latinos), so your confusion is understandable!
Head canon: but I’m gonna say they exist in the same universe (as does Machete, confusingly), lol…
Side note: Alexa PenaVega, the sister from Spy Kids you are thinking of, ended up both extremely attractive and pretty “based”, I believe. So there’s that.
Spy Kids
Bah-dah TSS
Bud Light is not an element.
