Primary
The film focuses on universal human experiences of fear, empathy, and personal growth, without promoting a specific political ideology or engaging in partisan commentary, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie incorporates diversity through its voice cast and features significant male and female characters, though human characters' racial or ethnic identities are not explicitly defined. Its narrative subtly addresses themes of mental health, intergenerational support, and the value of diverse perspectives, without explicitly focusing on traditional identity categories or critiquing traditional roles.
Secondary
"Orion and the Dark" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative centers on universal childhood fears and family relationships, with no explicit or implicit portrayal of the LGBTQ+ community within its story or characterizations.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Orion and the Dark is an original animated film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no pre-existing source material or historical record that establishes canonical genders for its characters, thus precluding any gender swaps.
The film's major characters (Orion, Dark, Hypatia) do not have a specified or detailed race in the source material. The movie also lacks a specific historical setting. Therefore, the casting choices do not constitute a race swap.
