The film explores themes of adapting to change, relationships, and appreciating differences. It’s the next original feature film from Pixar after 2020’s Soul and the first one to introduce a non-binary character.
Ava Hauser, the voice actor playing the role of Lake Ripple, the first ever LGBTQIA+ character confirmed in June 2023 that Lake will be binary but will also have a girlfriend in the movie.

It won’t be on Amazon Prime Video or other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and MAX but there are several good movies that you can watch on Prime Video like The Bad Guys, Coraline, Ruby Gillman, all Hotel Transylvania movies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ParaNorman, Corpse Bride, Spirited Away, etc. if you have a valid subscription.
Is Elemental lgbtq?

Even though, the role of Lake is not that significant but presence of their character is itself a big thing and the LGBTQ+ community sees this as an achievement because they will now be able to see themselves on the big screen with no strings attached.
