I don't know if this counts as elf media, but Teletubbies deserves a look at in terms of its underlying themes, messages, and how these meshed with a subsequent coordinated push in public school indoctrination by the EU.
Teletubbies in itself presents an idealized post-scarcity world, dominated by sparsely inhabited wildlands, with closely monitored and meticulously managed, self-contained settlements dotted around. The titular characters inhabit such a self-sufficient habitation, where they're under constant watch by a nebulous surveillance periscope, which, if memory serves, also assigns tasks driving most episodes. This cast in itself already presents a multi-ethnic status quo, although slightly toned down given its time, with the green Teletubby having a distinctly brown skin tone. These creatures are pretty telling in their design: adult-sized infantilized figures, equipped with literal antennas sticking out of their heads, and inescapable screens embedded into their torsos, through which authoritative messages on how to approach problems are broadcast with suspiciously apt timing.
I can't say this for sure, but from what I remember watching it as a toddler in Germany, at least some episodes featured breaks, in which similar scenarios unfolded in distinctly real-life situations, often featuring kindergarteners in a centralized childcare setting. I'd have to re-watch the episodes aired there to verify this, and I lost all my German over the years, but the impression I'm left with is one of overt recontextualization of abstract themes into a relate-able real life setting.
Just as the kids exposed to this stuff started entering public education, the EU began a coordinated effort to strong-arm schools across the continent into continuing this agenda, offering significant funding and equipment donations through partnered credit banks, with the condition that schools appointed politically connected and ideologically aligned faculty as principals. What followed was a transformation of these facilities, with hallways and classroom walls being covered in murals celebrating ethnic diversity, green energy, and identification with a homogenized global culture. Extensive student exchange programs were simultaneously instituted, suspiciously not between European countries, but between Europe and various subhuman-dominated regions such as Africa and South-East Asia.
The recent proliferation of eurosmug solarpunk communists is a natural extension of this highly coherent cultural re-framing effort. One saving grace is that this also accidentally led to a strong whiplash among a portion of Euro zoomers via the 2016 U.S. elections, which placed the logical conclusion of these ingrained ideals front-and-center before the kids' world-view had fully settled.
