Primary
The film's narrative centers on universal, apolitical themes of adventure, friendship, and survival, as an alien prince and his companion evade pursuers and seek a way home, without promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble, consistent with productions from its era. The narrative focuses on adventure and friendship without critiquing or explicitly addressing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
