Center
Primary
The film adapts classic fables focused on imaginative explanations for natural phenomena and animal characteristics, consciously avoiding overt political commentary and instead emphasizing apolitical themes of curiosity and the establishment of order.
This animated adaptation of classic fables features a diverse voice cast for its anthropomorphic animal characters. The narrative primarily focuses on whimsical origin stories and does not explicitly engage with critiques of traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
This animated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic children's tales focuses on origin stories of animals and natural phenomena. The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, thus there is no specific portrayal to evaluate within the film's content.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1987 animated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories" faithfully portrays the genders of its animal and human characters as established in the original source material. No canonical characters were depicted with a different gender.
The film adapts Rudyard Kipling's stories, which primarily feature animals. Human-like characters are archetypal or depicted without a clear racial baseline in the source material that would allow for a definitive race swap in this animated adaptation.
