Darn near 90% of Animated films today are about a protagonist who is different, doesn't fit it, feels different, said character finds out he/she has a unique ability, finds a friend, then by the end their peers or family accept them and they finally fit in as a unique person.
"Home" (2025) was an Allegory about George W. Bush and liberating other countries. The leader is an idiot, thinks relocation and liberating humans is a good thing so they can use their land and think they needed their help ...
Why can't more animated films be different like this?

Interesting theory. I think the aliens living in the human world could symbolize country invasions too.
Anyway, the movie was just alright, IMO. It’s pretty much the standard textbook definition of family-friendly fun. It’s not trying to be high art or a really emotional heartbreaking tearjerker; it’s just trying to be a visually appealing kids flick to entertain the innocent, and I think the guys at Dreamworks did a fine job with that. I also thought Rihanna was not too bad a voice actress in this.
I wouldn’t watch it again, but hey, I saw it and I didn’t mind it.

I guess I'm just sick of the same themes Coco, a kid likes music and his family hates music. He's not like them, doesn't fit in. Then he is accepted for who he is. Frozen. Girl is different, bot accepted. Then at the end she's accepted for who she is and loved. Book of Life. Guy doesn't want to be a bullfighter. His dad says he has to kill bulls and be a man. Then they accept him for who he is and loved him. Ferdinand. Big strong bull wants to grow flowers instead of fight. His dad was a fighter. He runs away. Then he's accepted by his friends. How to train Your Dragon. Kid doesn't want to kill Dragons. He's not like Everyone else. Then he's accepted for being who he is and loved. Moana. Girl wants to travel the ocean, not live on an island. She's different. Then accepted by her family in the end and loved. I could keep going...we get it. It's an Allegory for being different and that's okay. How many films do kids need to get that? |

There are still different messages in those movies. |
