Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around environmental preservation against commercial exploitation, with a child's efforts to protect winter from a snow-melting product, aligning with left-leaning environmentalist themes.
This animated special features traditional character designs and voice casting, consistent with mainstream productions of its time, without explicit efforts to diversify or recast roles. The narrative primarily focuses on an environmental conflict, portraying an inventor as an antagonist based on his actions against nature, rather than engaging in a critique of traditional identities or centering on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The animated holiday special "Frosty Returns" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Frosty the Snowman's efforts to save winter, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film introduces new, original characters like Holly and Mr. Twitchell. No characters previously established in the Frosty the Snowman canon or source material are portrayed with a different gender in this installment.
Frosty the Snowman is not a human character and therefore has no race to be swapped. The primary human characters, Holly and Charles, are original to this specific animated special, not established characters from prior canon. Thus, no race swap occurs.
