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
Surf's Up is an animated film centered on a surfing competition among penguins. The narrative does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, leading to an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
Surf's Up is an animated family film centered on surfing penguins. The narrative does not include any transsexual characters or explore related themes, resulting in no identifiable portrayal to evaluate.
The film focuses on surfing competitions and character development, not physical combat. No female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.
