Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative is a poignant environmentalist critique of human urban expansion and its devastating impact on wildlife and natural habitats, aligning with progressive values of conservation.

This Japanese animated film features a cast and characters from its native culture, which does not involve the concept of traditional Western roles or their recasting. The narrative focuses on an ecological critique of human industrialization and its impact on nature, rather than explicitly critiquing specific traditional identities such as white or male.

Secondary

The film portrays Buddhist-aligned spiritual wisdom and practices as a source of guidance and connection to nature for the tanuki, presenting these elements with respect and as integral to their cultural identity.

Pom Poko does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on environmentalism and the cultural struggles of tanuki, with no elements related to queer identity present in the film's storyline or character portrayals.

Pom Poko does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on environmentalism and the magical abilities of tanuki to shapeshift, which is used for disguise and illusion, not for exploring gender identity. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the film's plot or character arcs.

The film focuses on tanuki using shapeshifting and illusions to resist human development. While female tanuki participate in these efforts, their victories against male human opponents are achieved through psychological tactics, traps, or sabotage, not direct physical combat or martial arts.

Pom Poko is an original animated film by Studio Ghibli, not an adaptation of existing material with pre-established character genders. The characters are original creations for the film, thus there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a prior canonical or historical depiction.

Pom Poko is an original Japanese animated film featuring anthropomorphic tanuki. There are no pre-existing human characters from source material or history whose race could be swapped. The film's characters and setting are consistent with its Japanese origin.
