Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes environmental protection and anti-authoritarianism, championing coexistence with nature and empathy for the 'other' against destructive human expansion and control.
The film features traditional casting that aligns with its historical 17th-century Irish setting. However, its narrative strongly critiques colonial power structures, personified by a white male antagonist, and champions indigenous traditions and a harmonious connection with nature.
Secondary
The film features Mebh and Moll, who are wolfwalkers. In their wolf forms, they engage in direct physical combat against multiple male guards and hunters. They use their enhanced strength, speed, and natural wolf attacks to defeat their opponents in close-quarters encounters.
The film portrays a rigid, fear-driven, and oppressive form of Christianity through the Lord Protector, whose religious zeal fuels his destructive campaign against nature and the Wolfwalkers. The narrative clearly positions this interpretation of faith as a source of conflict and harm.
Wolfwalkers does not explicitly feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily explores the deep friendship between two young girls and their connection to the natural world, without incorporating queer identities or relationships.
The film "Wolfwalkers" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on folklore, nature, and the conflict between human civilization and the wild, without engaging with gender identity topics.
