Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central theme of self-acceptance and empathy for those with differences, while broadly aligning with values of inclusivity, is presented as a universal moral lesson rather than a political statement, focusing on individual growth and kindness.
This animated special features a traditional cast of anthropomorphic and fantastical characters, with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative focuses on themes of self-acceptance and embracing individuality, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering modern DEI themes.
Secondary
Rudolph's Shiny New Year does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on Rudolph's quest to find Happy, the Baby New Year, who has run away due to self-consciousness about his large ears, focusing on themes of self-acceptance and the passage of time.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is a sequel to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." All returning characters, such as Rudolph, maintain their established gender. New characters introduced in this installment do not constitute gender swaps.
The film features anthropomorphic animals and mythical figures whose 'race' is not a defined characteristic that could be subject to a swap. There are no characters established as one race in prior canon or history who are portrayed as a different race in this animated special.
