Center
Primary
The film's narrative centers on universal themes of individual growth, community cooperation, and defending one's home from external threats, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. The balance between individual heroism and collective action contributes to its neutral stance.
Zambezia is an animated adventure featuring animal characters, which inherently sidesteps direct human racial or gender representation. The voice cast includes a diverse group of actors, but the narrative primarily focuses on themes of community and heroism without explicitly engaging with or critiquing traditional human identities.
Secondary
Zambezia, an animated family film, does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story centers on a young falcon's journey and coming-of-age, without addressing queer identities or experiences, resulting in a 'N/A' rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film features female characters, primarily Zoe, who participate in aerial action sequences and the defense of Zambezia. However, there are no specific scenes depicting a female character individually defeating one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat through skill, strength, or martial arts.
Zambezia is an original animated film featuring new characters created for this production. There is no prior source material or established canon from which characters' genders could have been swapped.
Zambezia is an original animated film featuring anthropomorphic bird characters. There is no prior source material or historical context establishing a specific race for any character, thus precluding a race swap.
