Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film is neutral as its core narrative focuses on universal themes of childhood emotional development, imagination, and family relationships, offering a psychological exploration of a child's internal world rather than promoting any specific political ideology.

The movie features traditional casting for its human characters, primarily focusing on a white family. Its narrative explores universal themes of childhood emotions and imagination, without explicitly addressing or critiquing traditional identities or incorporating DEI themes as central to its story.

Secondary

Where the Wild Things Are does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on a young boy's imaginative journey and his emotional development, without touching upon queer identity in any capacity, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

The film "Where the Wild Things Are" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a young boy's imaginative journey and emotional development, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.

The film focuses on a young boy's imaginative journey with large, emotional creatures. While there is playful roughhousing and emotional conflict among the characters, no female character engages in or wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents using skill or strength.

The film is an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's book. All main characters, including Max and the Wild Things, retain their established genders from the original source material. No character's gender was altered.

The film adapts Maurice Sendak's book, where the main character, Max, is depicted as a white boy. The movie portrays Max with a white actor. The Wild Things are non-human creatures, so the concept of a race swap does not apply to them. No characters meet the definition of a race swap.
