Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film focuses on universal themes of personal growth, mentorship, and the pursuit of passion, critiquing superficiality and commercialism without aligning with a specific political ideology. The decisive factor is the film's apolitical subject matter and its emphasis on individual character development as the solution to the central conflict.
This animated film features animal characters, primarily penguins, and its narrative focuses on a coming-of-age story within a surfing culture. Due to the absence of human characters, the film does not engage with human-centric racial or gender identity themes, nor does it critique traditional human identities. The voice cast demonstrates diversity, but the character roles themselves are not subject to traditional human racial or gender recasting.
Secondary
