Primary

The film's core narrative champions environmental protection and empathy for non-human life, as a young boy learns to respect and defend an ant colony from human destruction, aligning with progressive values.

The movie features a predominantly white human cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative centers on a white male protagonist's journey of learning empathy, with themes of understanding and anti-bullying, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on human racial or gender diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.

Secondary

The Ant Bully is an animated family film that does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative focuses on a young boy's journey within an ant colony, emphasizing themes of empathy and teamwork. Consequently, the film has no discernible impact on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ identities.

The film features female ant characters, such as the warrior Kreela, who participate in battles against male wasps and the human exterminator. However, their combat contributions are primarily as part of a collective effort, utilizing natural ant abilities and overwhelming numbers, rather than individual, skill-based physical victories against one or more male opponents.

The Ant Bully is an adaptation of a children's book. All significant characters, including Lucas, Zoc, Hova, and the Queen, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material.

The Ant Bully is an animated film primarily featuring non-human characters (ants). The human characters' racial depictions are consistent with the source material, and no established character's race was altered.
