Next month it will probably be Star Trek again.

Also Tobias is a trans allegory.

      I had been pondering how none of the characters were queer-coded, and how I guess that was okay and it was the 90s after all... but obviously I'm an idiot who can't see my hand in front of my face. Tobias books are like the closest examinations of body dysmorphia that kids of that era got to read about.

      Later books also examine how Andalite society doesn't accept deviations from physical norms, despite having the technology to literally transform their bodies at will. Some of the most interesting parts of Animorphs are the kids trying to change Ax's mind about a lot of ingrained bigotry that he received from Andalite culture.
