Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, championing environmentalism through the protection and understanding of dragons, and advocating for empathy and peaceful coexistence over traditional conflict and domination. The central solution involves innovative, compassionate leadership that challenges established norms for a more harmonious future.

The narrative focuses on themes of family, leadership, and individual growth, presenting traditional identities in a neutral to positive light without explicit critique.
Secondary
