Reply to comment by Rx74y in Need a Zero to Hero film (FL no romance) by Rx74y

Well the closest I can think of is Moxie and The Duff, unless you are willing to broaden out to things like Ladybird, Ghost World, Real Women have Curves, The Edge of Seventeen, Eighth Grade, We Are The Best, Sunny

I'd counter your Encanto rec with Raya and the Last Dragon. It didn't have insipid music, has great, action and realization from the lead female. That is the most important thing, realization from the female MC

Because you said you wanted zero to hero I wasn't sure Raya and the Last Dragon counted since Raya starts off as a warrior princess. If that fits what you are looking for then if you haven't seen it Brave would be of a similar vein.

Didn't Raya cause the calamity of her region and her her father killed? I'd consider someone that goes from a position of power (princess or a Wayne) and brings about ruin, loses all their family, or wanders alone to count in the vein of what I'm looking for. Whilst they might be honorary in name they still have a journey of realizing their potential

I guess I would call it more a redemption story arc than a zero to hero story arc. The reason I chose Encanto was because her character started off powerless through no fault of her own and later realises her power that she can use to help her family. So to me that is a zero to hero story arc. But if the protagonist is the cause of the problem then the act of fixing the problem is the character trying to make amends which to me is more align with a redemption story arc.
