I find myself quoting this movie every so often. It is certainly a classic family film and one of the few examples of a full, nuclear family that doesn't belittle any one member based on his or her traits. These characters all feel like real people struggling with real problems particular to their state in life and the gifts they've been given.
I recently heard a homily about how people often wear masks, and if they wear a particular mask for long enough, they'll grow into it. This idea is deeply integrated into this film, both literally and figuratively, and each character experiences some growth over the course of the film and it provides a good example for how we can learn to order our lives properly according to our state and vocation.
It's really an unusually good film. May want to look into Wreck It Ralph 1 and 2 which are really shockingly smart.
The ideas here are all tangential, outside the essay itself. But to cross over and start hooking them up would be infinitely long and messy. I can hook them up in my own mind for myself. In fact, the essay may last longer if you chose a different conclusion than trans, which I expect will be passing fad. ...But then who expects their substack essays to be read in 50 or 100 years.
Thank you for reading.
Even the villains can’t stomach Incrediboy. “Votre tenue est completement ridicule!”

Well said. The best movies "for children" are deeper than we realize.

Sounds like an interesting piece to collaborate on ...
Oops, sorry for the reStack; I didn't know this was going to be anti-trans rhetoric.
