>>212263988Sure, here’s a concept that fits a Pixar-style tone: imaginative, emotional, and inclusive — while subtly suggesting gender diversity and the character's orientation without being overt.

Title: "North of Normal"
Genre: Animated Adventure / Coming-of-Age
Target Audience: Family (ages 8+)
Logline:
An 11-year-old kid named Fin moves to a remote Arctic research town with their scientist parent, only to discover that the Northern Lights are more than just lights — they’re echoes of forgotten dreams. With a magical snow fox as their guide, Fin embarks on a journey to recover the dreams of others — and discover their own.
Main Character: Fin
Fin has shaggy hair, a mix of “boyish” and “girlish” style — layered clothes, patched-up boots, and hand-knit scarves. They're creative, deeply empathetic, and quietly grappling with feelings they don’t yet fully understand. There’s a tenderness in how they talk about their best friend back home (a boy, possibly with subtle cues of a deeper connection), and an internal tension around fitting in.
Supporting Cast:
Ava, a wild-hearted classmate who makes snow creatures come to life.
Dr. Rami, Fin’s parent, a glaciologist who's more comfortable talking to ice than to kids.
Sol, a glowing snow fox spirit who can only be seen by those who are "on the edge of knowing themselves."
Themes:
Self-discovery and identity
Feeling different in a place that expects sameness
The beauty in not having everything figured out
Friendship that hints at something more, without ever labeling it
Pixar-style Touch:
Emotional moments wrapped in magical realism (the aurora borealis shifting with Fin’s emotions)
Humor through the snow fox and Ava’s wild inventions
Gorgeous, icy visuals mixed with warm, glowing dreamscapes
