Center
Primary
The film primarily focuses on an individual's journey of personal growth and finding love, rather than offering a political critique of class or wealth. While it contrasts the superficiality of the rich with the authenticity of the working class, its narrative solution is entirely personal and apolitical.
The movie features a predominantly white cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on a traditional romantic comedy plot without critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The animated series 'Arthur' presents a positive and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes. The marriage of Mr. Ratburn to another man is celebrated by the community and main characters, normalizing same-sex relationships and emphasizing acceptance without any negative framing or conflict.
The series portrays Christmas as a positive cultural event centered on family, generosity, and community spirit, affirming its positive societal role.
The series positively portrays Judaism through characters like Francine Frensky, who celebrates Hanukkah and shares her family's traditions. The narrative presents these practices respectfully, fostering understanding and inclusivity within the diverse community.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The animated series "Arthur" (1996) directly adapts characters from Marc Brown's book series. All main and supporting characters maintain the same established gender from the original source material, with no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender.
The characters in "Arthur" are anthropomorphic animals, not humans. The concept of human race, and thus a "race swap" as defined, does not apply to these characters.
