Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative critiques the exploitation and systemic challenges faced by immigrants, advocating for collective action and solidarity to overcome these obstacles, which aligns with progressive values.
The movie centers on the experiences of a Jewish immigrant mouse family, highlighting themes of cultural identity and overcoming prejudice. While the narrative is deeply rooted in a minority experience, it does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.
Secondary
The film portrays the Mousekewitz family, who are clearly Jewish, with deep sympathy and respect. Their flight from persecution is a central theme, and the narrative unequivocally condemns the bigotry they face, aligning with the dignity of their experience.
An American Tail does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story is centered on the challenges of immigration and family reunion, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences.
The film does not feature any scenes where a female character engages in direct physical combat and defeats one or more male opponents. Female characters are present but are not depicted in such combat roles.
An American Tail is an original animated film, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material with established characters. All characters were created for this film, so there is no prior canon or historical record to establish a different gender for any character.
The film features anthropomorphic mice characters, not human characters with an established race in prior canon or history. Therefore, the concept of a 'race swap' as defined does not apply to this animated movie.
