I’ll never forget little Fish Meggie, the Gutting Girl from the Top of the World. I’ll never forget the woman she became; the woman who speaks to her ‘Lambsie’ in an endearing Scottish brogue. She shares her agonies, of which there are many; her delights, of which there are few. The delights are dotted neatly throughout, so, whilst this is a sad novel, poignant and painful, it is not entirely grim; rather, the small joys shine, diamond clear, aching in their beauty.This is the sixth Pixar film not to have humans in it, following A Bug's Life, the Cars trilogy, and Onward. It is also the second PG-rated Pixar film not to have humans in it. Colangelo, BJ (April 26, 2023). "Everything We Know About Elemental, Pixar's Love Story Between Fire And Water". /Film.

During the end credits, the film was initially going to depict Ember and Wade returning home with the reveal that they had a baby made out of steam. It was ultimately scrapped as the writers wanted the audience to settle with the characters first before such an idea would take hold. [14] Meggie’s story is told in a series of journals that move through the elements: Water from 1891-1905, Air from 1905-1909 and Earth from 1910-1932. The tale is beautifully told, rich with Doric, Scottish and Shetland dialect that’s so pervasive you’ll be using it, aye, in your own speech as you fall into the rhythms of its cadences. The writing is also full of the detail of its historical setting. The images are harsh and beautiful, from the cold wind biting through hand knitted clothing and salt dried skin, to gorse and multi-coloured flowers on cliff faces full of puffins. Amidst the bleak beauty is Meggie’s own wonderfully canny observations as she grows from a wee bairn to a young women, discovering herself and unravelling the hushed-up groundswell of tragedy that underpins her world: Purnell, Kristofer (June 14, 2023).
