We were lucky to have our protagonist, Jerry, be voiced by award winning actor, Mr. Alfred Molina. You definitely know him from some of the roles hes played over the years in movies and tv shows like Frida, The Spider-Man franchise, Chocolat, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, An Education, Feud: Betty and Joan, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (throw me the idol!) and his new series, Three Pines.
When we asked Alfred to be our lead, we were kind of embarrassed. He's a Juilliard trained actor whos won awards on the biggest stages, and we asked him to make bird noises. But ill tell you this, he absolutely nailed it. Not only is Alfred a great actor, but he's a super nice human being and a joy to be around! So happy to have him as part of our "Flutter" family!
Here's some fun clips of Alfred in the recording booth that we wanted to share with the world!"
When I first saw trailers and stuff for Elemental I legit thought this was some kind of wannabe Pixar schlock and not the real thing. It was so generic and overly allegorical I couldn't believe Pixar would actually sign off on it because it looked like a parody of their formula.
yeah honestly same lmao. animated works about personified elements is a pretty common idea from what i've seen, i'm hoping a lasting impact of elemental will be a decline in that trope because honestly i'm kinda tired of it ghfdnksg. or at least i'd like to see it done in a new way other than "opposing elemental characters have to find a way to get along"
Starting of with one of the most obvious media for this list, we have the Cars franchise! This is THE BEST Disney franchise of ALL TIME - you can't change my mind. Man, am I glad I got the chance to grow up with this franchise. Obviously, I shall not list every single Cars character, because I'd pretty much be dedicating the whole blog to that alone if I did... Anyways, here are the elements of that franchise:
Movie: Cars (2006)
Movie: Cars 2 (2011)
Movie: Cars 3 (2017)
TV Series: Mater's Tall Tales (2008 - 2012)
TV Series: Cars on the Road (2022)
Those are the main elements of that franchise.
There are some Shorts as well, which I shall list by title and release date only:
I) Mater and the Ghostlight (2006)
II) Tales from Radiator Springs (2013 - 2014)
Ep1. Hiccups (2013)
Ep2. Bugged (2013)
Ep3. Spinning (2013)
Ep4. The Radiator Springs 500 ½ (2014)
III) Miss Fritter's Racing Skoool (2017)
IV) Pixar Popcorn (2021)
Ep2. Unparalleled Parking (2021)
Ep9. Dancing with the Cars (2021)
Furthermore, there are a large amount of official books published. It obviously would take hours to find them all as they range from story books for little kids to comic books to graphic novelizations of the movies to colouring books to who-knows-what-else. So hereby, I have mentioned the books, but that's also all I'm saying about them.
And thus, this concludes my first post on this blog! See ya!

It is just another evening commute until the rain starts to fall, and the city comes alive to the sound of dripping rain pipes, whistling awnings, and gurgling gutters.
