Not just the AI computing all the imagery, but literally an algorithm putting together a perfect Pixar movie. It’s all there - so much so that Elemental may be the first work from Pixar to feel like it was generated entirely by AI. The studio’s 27 th feature, has, well, all the elements that make up a great Pixar movie: A high-concept pitch that could only be rendered via dazzling state-of-the-art computer animation a serious overarching theme about ethnic strife and racial tolerance humor for both kids and adults, although this one is more geared toward the 10-and-under set a plot that hits all the right beats at exactly the right time.
