Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict is rooted in environmental destruction by human expansion and the displacement of a native species, championing themes of coexistence and the preservation of nature, which aligns with left-leaning values.
The film features a predominantly white main cast and voice actors for its central characters, though it includes visible diversity in some supporting human roles. The narrative centers on a positively portrayed white male protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The character Zubeida Ghalili, who is depicted as female in Cornelia Funke's original novel "Dragon Rider," is portrayed as male in the 2020 film adaptation.
The film "Dragon Rider" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is a straightforward fantasy adventure centered on a dragon, a boy, and a brownie, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The animated film "Dragon Rider" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on fantasy creatures, adventure, and environmental protection, with no elements related to gender identity or transsexual experiences.
The film features Sorrel, a female forest brownie, who is agile and resourceful. However, her actions do not include direct physical combat victories against male opponents. The main conflict involves a large dragon-like creature, and the resolution does not feature Sorrel defeating male characters in close-quarters physical contests.
The film is an adaptation of a German children's novel. The primary human character, Ben, is depicted in the film as a light-skinned boy, consistent with the general, non-explicit depiction in the source material. Other main characters are non-human. No character established as one race in the source material is portrayed as a different race.
