Ember, Elemental

Seeing a first-generation, child-of-immigrants experience represented in Ember was so special—it’s a rare choice for a main character. Ember’s journey of keeping true to her roots while also forging her own path was beautifully handled in Pixar’s latest. And the rom-com aspect was too real—her meet-cute with Wade who’s from a different culture was such a good way to see how different worlds can come together.
