Center
Primary
The show's central subject matter, a band of singing raisins, is inherently apolitical, and its episodic narratives focus on universal themes of friendship and perseverance without promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features a diverse cast of anthropomorphic raisin characters, who are original creations rather than explicit race-swaps of traditional roles. The narrative maintains a neutral and positive tone, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The California Raisin Show, a children's animated series, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the musical adventures of the California Raisins without engaging with queer identity or experiences.
The California Raisin Show is an animated television special that does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the musical adventures of the anthropomorphic raisin characters, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The California Raisin Show features the established characters from the original commercials, all of whom retain their canonical male gender. No previously established characters are portrayed as a different gender.
The California Raisins are anthropomorphic food characters, not human. The concept of race, and therefore a 'race swap,' does not apply to these characters as they were never established as any human race in their source material.
