Primary
The film focuses on apolitical themes of family, tradition, and the spirit of Christmas, presenting a universal conflict between selflessness and selfishness without engaging in specific political ideologies.
The movie includes visible diversity through the casting of mythological figures like Mother Nature and Sandman with minority actors. However, the narrative maintains a traditional framing, portraying its white, male protagonist positively without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
The film centers on the celebration of Christmas, a holiday with Christian origins, promoting themes of belief, generosity, and family. While largely secularized, the narrative affirms the positive spirit and virtues commonly associated with the season.
