Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict and resolution are explicitly centered on environmental preservation and the defense of nature against destructive forces, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.
The movie 'Epic' features visible diversity in its voice cast, including prominent minority actors in key roles, though these are for non-human fantasy characters rather than explicit race-swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a traditional framing, focusing on a classic good-versus-evil story without critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film's protagonist, Mary Katherine (M.K.), is a gender-swapped adaptation of Wally, the young boy who is the main human character in William Joyce's source book, "The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs."
The animated film 'Epic' does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative focuses on a young girl's adventure in a hidden forest world, with all depicted relationships being heterosexual or familial. Consequently, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate.
The animated film "Epic" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a fantasy adventure in a hidden forest world, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The film features female characters like M.K. and Queen Tara. While Queen Tara possesses powers and engages in defense, she is ultimately defeated. M.K. primarily contributes through strategy, evasion, and the use of human items, rather than direct physical combat victories against male opponents.
The film is an adaptation of a children's book featuring anthropomorphic insects and tiny human-like figures. The characters' races were not explicitly defined in the source material in a way that would allow for a race swap in the film adaptation.
