Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes traditional values of unwavering faith, obedience to divine authority, and the justification of national destiny through divinely-sanctioned conquest, aligning with a conservative worldview.
This animated biblical adaptation, featuring anthropomorphic animal characters, does not incorporate explicit diversity, equity, and inclusion elements in its character design or narrative. The film presents a traditional retelling of its source material without critiquing traditional identities or introducing modern DEI themes.
Secondary
Produced for an audience that often includes Christians, the film interprets the Old Testament story of Joshua in a way that affirms faith, obedience to God, and divine guidance, aligning with core Christian virtues and biblical teachings.
The film directly adapts a foundational narrative of Judaism, portraying the Israelites' faith, their leaders, and divine intervention with reverence and affirmation. It celebrates the spiritual and historical significance of the biblical account.
This animated retelling of the biblical story of Joshua does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses solely on the religious source material without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
