Its about a society of people who are made of elements. There are fire people, water people, cloud people and tree people. Insert Avatar joke here. The main characters are Ember a fire woman and Wade a waterman. Ember's family imigrated from a fire country to start a fire store. Ember desprately wants to run the store but she has a short temper and is bad with the customers. One day she gets so angry she explodes and causes a pipe to burst. Wade comes out one of the pipes and is the city inspector. He says the store has a bunch of code violations and he is going to take them down to the office to get the place shut down. They talk to his boss and she says they have one week to find the leak and ceal it until they can send professionals to ceal it. Ember falls in love with Wade but Fire people and water people aren't allowed to date. Ember has a knack for glass blowing and the buildings in the water town are made of glass. Ember realises that she doesn't actaully want to run the family buisness but she feels like she has to becasue her parents sarcificed so much for her and worked hard to build the store. They originally ceal the crack with sand bags but that didn't work. Ember later seals the crack in the dam with tempered glass. Its sturdy at first but the water over flows and starts washing away water town. It ends with Ember getting a new job, Wade and Ember being a couple, the parents retiring, and their parent's friends running the store. This movie really sucked. You know how the Flintstones has rock puns. Imagine that times 9 thousand. They really over did it with the puns. They are every other line in this movie. A fire woman dating a waterman and it being a forbiden love is too obvious of a storyline. A race allogory doens't work when characters are made of fire and can destroy things or when characters can accidently kill each other. I am aware its a cartoon but its distracting. I am aware that this is a childrens film and children can be seeing these cliches for the first time and being cliche doesn't automatically make something bad. I still think its bad. This movie just wasn't for me.
