Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film's central conflict addresses universal themes of family, loss, and the power of memory against a mythological, emotionless tyranny, with a solution rooted in love, courage, and storytelling rather than specific political ideologies.

The movie features a story deeply rooted in Japanese culture and folklore, but its lead voice cast for the main characters is predominantly composed of white actors. The narrative focuses on universal themes within its cultural context, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

Kubo and the Two Strings does not feature any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a young boy's journey to defeat his family's enemies and honor his parents' memory, making the portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements not applicable.

Kubo and the Two Strings is a fantasy adventure film that does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a young boy's journey through a magical world, focusing on family, loss, and courage, without touching upon gender identity in this context.

The film features female characters like Monkey (Sariatu's spirit) who engage in combat. However, her primary physical confrontations are against other female characters (the Sisters) or magical creatures/entities. While she fights the male Moon King, this is a magical rather than a direct physical combat victory.

Kubo and the Two Strings is an original story, not an adaptation of existing source material or historical events. All characters were created for this film, thus none have a pre-established canonical gender to be swapped from.

Kubo and the Two Strings is an original animated film with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters with established racial identities to be altered. Therefore, no race swap occurs.
