Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on universal themes of self-acceptance, courage, and friendship within a classic good-versus-evil narrative, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The animated film features animal characters voiced by a predominantly mainstream cast. Its narrative explores themes of individual uniqueness and self-acceptance through an albino koala protagonist, without explicitly addressing human diversity, equity, or inclusion themes or critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The animated film "The Outback" (also known as "Koala Kid") does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a koala's adventure to become a hero, without incorporating any elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The animated film primarily focuses on male characters engaging in physical conflict. Female characters, such as Cordelia and Nerissa, do not participate in direct physical combat against male opponents. Their roles are supportive or as objects of protection, rather than active combatants.
The Outback (2012) is an original animated film. Its characters were created specifically for this production and are not based on pre-existing source material or historical figures with established genders. Therefore, no gender swaps occurred.
The film "The Outback" features original anthropomorphic animal characters. Since these characters are not human and have no prior established human racial identity, the concept of a "race swap" as defined does not apply.
