I usually don't check out trailers or read about movies before watching them. I didn't plan to see this one in theaters, but a friend gave me a free ticket, so I went for it. I really enjoyed it! The animation was fantastic, and they portrayed the interactions between the different elements so well.
After watching the movie, I looked up some posts and discussions about it. Many people felt that the marketing didn't accurately represent the story. Instead of being marketed as a forbidden love story, it should have focused on a parent's love for their children and dreams, along with the beautiful city and its elemental residents. I agree with that sentiment.
Overall, it was a fun experience and definitely worth watching, especially if you appreciate great animation and a heartfelt story about nuances of family and dreams.
