Elemental

Original Pixar property with elemental characters; no established characters to swap.

Ember is a strong-willed female lead but Wade is portrayed warmly and competently; no male-diminishing message.

• Ember and Wade share a balanced, mutual romance

A minor side character is reportedly non-binary, but it is brief and incidental, not a theme.

• A background non-binary elemental character with they/them framing

The elemental-city setting is an immigrant allegory; diversity is thematic to the world rather than a checkbox.

• Fire family as immigrants in a melting-pot city

An immigration and assimilation allegory runs through the film but is largely folded into the love story rather than lectured.

• Ember's family fleeing their homeland and facing prejudice
• Bernie's distrust of water elements

No framing of masculinity or the West as toxic; Ember's father is sympathetic.
