Center
Primary
The film's central themes of personal ambition, friendship, and adventure are universal and presented in an apolitical context, without promoting any specific progressive or conservative ideology. The narrative focuses on character growth and the pursuit of a dream, which are neutral concepts.
The movie primarily features an anthropomorphic animal cast, with real-life celebrity voice actors for the human roles, contributing to a diverse voice ensemble without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white human roles. The narrative is a lighthearted adventure comedy that does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or center explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Surf's Up 2: WaveMania is an animated comedy about surfing penguins. The film does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, nor does it address issues related to queer identity. Consequently, its portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements is N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is a direct sequel featuring returning characters who maintain their original genders. New characters introduced, including those based on real-world WWE personalities, also align with their established or real-life genders. No character's gender was altered from prior canon or historical record.
The film features anthropomorphic animal characters, not human characters. The concept of a 'race swap,' which applies to changes in human racial portrayal, is not applicable to animal characters.
