Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's core conflict and resolution are rooted in universal themes of adventure, friendship, and self-discovery, making it an apolitical narrative that does not align with or promote any specific political ideology.
The film features visible diversity in its cast, including a Black actor in the lead role of Jim Button, which aligns with the character's original non-white coding. The narrative, typical of a children's adventure, maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The children's fantasy adventure film 'Jim Button and the Wild 13' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal of queer identity or related narratives to evaluate within the movie's storyline.
The film "Jim Button and the Wild 13" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a children's fantasy adventure, and there are no elements within the plot or character arcs that pertain to transgender identity or experiences.
The film features Princess Li Si as a significant female character. While she is resourceful and plays a crucial role in the plot, she does not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents. The primary combat roles are filled by male characters.
The film is an adaptation of Michael Ende's novel. All major characters, including Jim Button, Luke the Engine Driver, Princess Li Si, and the Wild 13 pirates, maintain their established genders from the source material.
The character Jim Button, who is the protagonist of the original German children's novel, was canonically established as Black. The film's portrayal of Jim Button by a Black actor is consistent with the source material, thus not constituting a race swap.
