Center
Primary
The film explores how adapting traditional structures through diversity and inclusion can strengthen leadership and ensure the protection of an established natural order, balancing progressive ideas of inclusion with conservative values of order and responsibility.
This animated film features animal characters, which makes direct assessment of human racial or gender representation inapplicable. The narrative centers on themes of responsibility and teamwork within an animal kingdom, without critiquing traditional human identities or explicitly foregrounding DEI themes.
Secondary
The film does not contain any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on its animal protagonists and their adventures in the Pride Lands. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding queer identity or related narratives.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film introduces new characters while retaining the established genders of returning legacy characters from "The Lion King" franchise. No previously established characters have their gender altered.
The film features anthropomorphic animal characters. The concept of 'race swap,' as defined, applies to human racial categories and is not applicable to animal characters.
