Leans Progressive
Primary
Shape Island is apolitical in a partisan sense, focusing on universal themes of friendship, empathy, and cooperation. While promoting values sometimes associated with progressive social ideals, these are presented in a non-ideological, broadly applicable manner that transcends specific political divides.
Shape Island features a diverse voice cast for its anthropomorphic characters, though the roles themselves do not represent traditional human identities for recasting. The series' narrative explicitly centers on themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion, celebrating differences, fostering friendship, and promoting community values like kindness and collaboration.
Secondary
Shape Island is a stop-motion animated children's series centered on friendship and social-emotional learning. The show does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on the interactions of its shape characters to teach acceptance and cooperation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The characters in Shape Island are original creations without pre-existing canonical genders in any source material or historical record. Thus, no on-screen portrayal can constitute a gender swap from an established gender.
The characters in "Shape Island" are anthropomorphic geometric shapes without human ethnicity or phenotypical traits. As such, there is no established race for these characters in the source material, making a race swap impossible by definition.
