About Pixar’s Elemental
Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental” is an all-new, original feature film set in Element City, where fire-, water-, land- and air residents live together.
The story introduces Ember, a tough, quick-witted and fiery young woman, whose friendship with a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in.
Elemental Age Rating: What Ages Can Really Watch This One?

Age Rating of Elemental: Parents Guide (7 Big Things)
Can your kids watch this one? What is the age rating of Elemental?
This parent’s guide will help you decide if your family can handle the seven big issues with movies and shows: mature topics, gore, violence, language, sex, romance, and nudity. We’ll also give the age rating and age-appropriate recommendations.
Language
The closest we get to a curse word in Elemental is a play on words where a character says, “get off your lazy ash.”
Outside of that, Elemental’s language is pretty clean.
Your kids will hear unkind words such as:
- stupid
- jerk
- on my gosh
- dang
- what the – (unfinished)
Age Rating of Elemental: Is It Safe For Teens When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?
This is Pixar’s first rom-com, so there is some age-appropriate romance going on:
Hand holding, kissing, dancing, and professions of love (‘I love you” is stated in a romantic way). There is a reference to “hanky panky.”
There is a same-sex couple on the screen briefly. It’s a quick moment and not super obvious as they are elements.
But there are no sex scenes or nudity in Elemental (unless you want to count the fact that the elements do not wear pants, but that’s similar to saying Donald Duck is naked… which we don’t say.)
Violence and Gore: Is Elemental Too Scary For Kids Under 6?
Nothing really violent or perilous happens in the movie.
Gore is non-existent in Elemental, so no worries there.
It’s a very Pixar-esque movie on the violence front.
Is Elemental Ok For Kids: Mature Topics
Did we mention it’s very Pixar-esque? Same here when it comes to mature topics.
Aging parents, loss, grief, death, and complicated family relationships all play out on screen.
There are no alcohol or drug scenes in Elemental.
Parents Guide: Is Elemental Appropriate For Kids Under 6?
We think Elemental is ok for most kids ages 4 and up.
It’s a little over 1 hour and 40 minutes long, which may make it a bit harder to keep the youngest Pixar fans in their seats.
But the sweet story is sure to be a winner and is kid-friendly for pretty much the whole family!

Why is the information about there being a “same-sex couple” shared like it’s a warning? In my opinion, it should be highlighted as a positive for diversity and representation.
Apologies if it comes off that way. I try to share what is shown in a non-judgemental, non-opinioned way. I prefer providing the content info vs providing commentary as the community that reads these posts are varied. (FWIW, I absolutely do celebrate the diversity and personally love seeing the additions to all movies.) I’ll attempt to re-word it so it doesn’t sound like a “warning” as that is not my intent, more “just the facts” this is what is in the movie type information. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Thanks for the info on ‘same-sex couple’. Though as adults we understand whatever a person’s personal preferences are, my kids don’t and I would prefer to know in advance so that I’m able to be prepared and explain as needed.
