Center
Primary
The film's central narrative is an apolitical underdog story that champions universal themes of self-belief, perseverance, and achieving dreams through individual effort, rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
This animated film features animal protagonists and traditional depictions of human characters, such as Santa and Mrs. Claus, without any explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative centers on an underdog's journey to achieve a dream, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and not incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Blitzen, one of Santa's reindeer, is traditionally depicted as male in widely established lore. In this film, Blitzen is portrayed as female, constituting a gender swap.
The film is a Christmas story, centered on Santa Claus, reindeer, and the spirit of the holiday. It portrays these elements, which are culturally tied to Christianity, in a wholly positive and affirming light, emphasizing themes of hope, perseverance, and the magic of giving.
The film 'Elliot: The Littlest Reindeer' does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on a Christmas-themed adventure, and there is no content related to queer identity or experiences within the story.
The film is an animated family movie focused on a miniature horse's journey to join Santa's sleigh. While female characters like Hazel and Mrs. Claus are present, the narrative does not include any scenes of direct physical combat where a female character defeats one or more male opponents.
This animated film features original characters and does not adapt pre-existing material with canonically established racial identities for its characters. Therefore, no race swaps occur.
