Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's narrative centers on universal themes of survival, the importance of community, and the dangers of corrupt leadership, balancing individual initiative with collective action without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The film primarily features animal characters, and while its voice cast includes diverse actors, the roles themselves do not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white human roles. The narrative focuses on an animal-centric heist and adventure, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional human identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes as central to its story.
Secondary
The animated film "Surly Squirrel" (The Nut Job) focuses on the adventures of a squirrel and his animal friends. No LGBTQ+ characters or themes are present in the story, resulting in no depiction to evaluate for positive, negative, or neutral impact.
The film "Surly Squirrel" (The Nut Job) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on anthropomorphic animals, a nut heist, and a bank robbery, with no elements related to gender identity or transition present in the plot or character arcs.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Nut Job" (2014), featuring the character Surly Squirrel and directed by Peter Lepeniotis, is based on his 2005 short film "Surly Squirrel." All main characters retain their established genders from the original short film in the feature adaptation.
The film, identified by its IMDb and TMDb IDs as "The Nut Job" (2014), is an animated movie featuring anthropomorphic animal characters. It does not include human characters, nor does it adapt source material where characters were established with a specific human race. Consequently, the concept of a race swap is not applicable.
