Center
Primary
The film's central narrative champions environmental protection and empathy for non-human species, portraying human exploitation of nature as the primary threat and advocating for coexistence.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative positively frames traditional identities, focusing on a family's adventure with a mythical creature rather than exploring explicit DEI themes or critiquing traditional societal structures.
Secondary
Harry and the Hendersons is a family comedy centered on a suburban family's adoption of a Bigfoot. The film does not feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in a 'N/A' rating for its portrayal of the LGBTQ+ community.
The television series 'Harry and the Hendersons' (1991) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a family's comedic adventures with a Bigfoot, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The TV series is a continuation of the film, with all established main characters retaining their original genders. No character canonically established as one gender in the source material is portrayed as a different gender in the show.
The main human characters in the TV show, George, Nancy, Sarah, and Ernie Henderson, were all portrayed by white actors, consistent with their depiction in the original film. Harry, a Sasquatch, is a non-human character, and the race of the actors portraying him in a suit does not constitute a race swap for a human character.
