Primary

The film's central narrative revolves around a child's imagination and individual problem-solving, focusing on apolitical themes of creativity and self-reliance without engaging in partisan political discourse.

The movie features a diverse supporting cast, including a Black actor voicing a key magical element and a South Asian actor in a supporting role. However, the central protagonist is played by a white actor, and the narrative primarily focuses on themes of imagination and adventure rather than explicitly addressing or critiquing traditional identities or foregrounding DEI themes.

Secondary

The narrative focuses on a young boy's imaginative adventures, and there are no elements within the show that depict or allude to queer identities or experiences, resulting in a classification of N/A.
