Primary
The film focuses on universal themes of personal growth, mentorship, and the pursuit of passion, critiquing superficiality and commercialism without aligning with a specific political ideology. The decisive factor is the film's apolitical subject matter and its emphasis on individual character development as the solution to the central conflict.
The movie features anthropomorphic animal characters, which inherently sidesteps human racial or gender-based casting considerations. Its narrative is a traditional underdog story centered on a male penguin's journey, without any explicit critique of traditional identities or central DEI themes.
