Center
Primary
The series focuses on universal themes of social-emotional learning and practical problem-solving for young children, offering solutions to common childhood challenges without engaging in specific political or ideological discourse.
The animated series features a visibly diverse cast, including a main character depicted as a girl of color, within an original world of various human and monster characters. The narrative focuses on positive social-emotional themes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI as a primary narrative theme.
Secondary
The show features a minor character, Simon, who has two mothers, depicted as a natural and accepted part of his family structure. This inclusion is incidental, presenting a diverse family without making it a central theme or source of conflict. The portrayal is neutral, neither explicitly affirming nor denigrating LGBTQ+ identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
