Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on universal themes of pursuing one's dreams and the strength found in friendship and community, rather than promoting a specific political ideology. While it features a diverse cast and resistance to individual exploitation, these elements are presented in an apolitical context of personal growth and collective achievement.
The movie features traditional casting for its time, with human roles predominantly white and no explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on themes of friendship and pursuing dreams, without critically portraying traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Miss Piggy, who uses her signature karate skills and physical strength to overpower and defeat multiple male henchmen in direct physical confrontations.
The Muppet Movie does not feature any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative centers on the Muppets' journey to Hollywood and their pursuit of fame, with no content relevant to LGBTQ+ representation.
The Muppet Movie does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on the Muppets' quest for fame, and gender identity is not a subject explored within the film's scope.
The Muppet Movie is the first feature film for the established Muppet characters. All main Muppet characters retain their canonical genders from their prior television appearances. No existing character was portrayed as a different gender.
The primary characters in The Muppet Movie are puppets, which do not possess a human race. There are no human characters in the film who were previously established as one race and then portrayed as a different race.
