Overview
It’s true—to the public at large they are the clown princes of the parquet, the internationally renowned sports superstars The Globetrotters. But, unbeknownst to John and Jane Q. Sportsfan, high above the Earth orbits the Globetrotter Crime Globe, a different kind of "eye in the sky." Whenever and wherever the Crime Globe detects dastardly doings, the call goes out to the Globetrotters—Nate Branch, Liquid Man, Freddie 'Curly' Neal, Super Sphere, James 'Twiggy' Sanders, Spaghetti Man, Louis 'Sweet Lou' Dunbar, Gizmo, and Hubert 'Geese' Ausbie, and Multi Man—and they quickly ditch the b-ball court for crime-fighting.

Primary
The film's central conflict is a straightforward good-vs-evil narrative, with the Super Globetrotters using their powers to combat generic villains and maintain peace. Its focus on apolitical themes and universal concepts of heroism and teamwork prevents it from aligning with a specific political ideology.
The movie features an inherently diverse main cast, as it is based on the real-life Harlem Globetrotters. Its narrative, typical of a late 1970s superhero cartoon, does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.
Secondary
The Super Globetrotters, an animated superhero series from the late 1970s, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The show's focus is on sports, adventure, and superheroics, consistent with children's programming of its era, without addressing queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The animated series features the real-world Harlem Globetrotters, who were historically male, and portrays them as male characters. The show's original character, Granny, does not represent a gender swap of a pre-existing character.
The Super Globetrotters animated series features characters based on the real-life Harlem Globetrotters, who were historically and canonically Black. The animated portrayals accurately reflect the established race of these figures, thus containing no race swaps.
