In the same line of thought....
You could ask why are there no male lead stars of the movie "Evening"? Or in "The Hours"? Or in "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood?"
********
The fact is that almost every Pixar film I know of (with the exception of the "Birds" short that precedes Nemo) features a heroine who defies so many gender stereotypes, i.e. she can lead, be decisive and think independently, stick to her guns (literally, in Toy Story 2) - and still be empathetic at the same time!
Your quibble about the #1 lead in the movie not being female....well frankly, that usually only occurs in movies such as those listed at the beginning of my message, i.e. films intended ONLY for women, that are ONLY about women & their lives, etc etc.
