Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores universal themes of childhood desires, family dynamics, and the spirit of Christmas without engaging in any explicit political discourse or promoting specific ideological viewpoints. Its focus remains on an apolitical narrative of a child's longing for a pet and finding contentment.
This animated special maintains the established Peanuts character lineup, which includes some diversity, but its central narrative and primary character focus are on traditionally portrayed roles. The story does not introduce explicit DEI themes or offer a critique of traditional identities, instead focusing on a child's simple wish for a pet.
Secondary
This animated Peanuts special does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on Rerun's wish for a dog and the antics of Snoopy's siblings, with no content relevant to LGBTQ+ representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This Peanuts special features established characters from the long-running comic strip and animated series. All characters, such as Rerun, Charlie Brown, and Snoopy, maintain their canonically established genders from previous installments and source material.
The film features established Peanuts characters whose racial depictions remain consistent with their long-standing canon from the comic strip and previous animated specials. No character originally established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
