ThunderCats (1985)
Overview
The inhabitants of the planet Thundera evacuate just before it is destroyed. They were pursued by a band of mutants. All but one of their escape ships was destroyed. Only a small group of Thunderans (Thundercats) remained. With only half engine power, the group, which was led by Jaga, had to set a course for the nearest planet. Jaga commanded their ship while the other seven were in their stasis tubes. Jaga died on their journey to Third Earth and their ship crashed there. Soon they made friends with various groups in the area and they designed a fortress. Mumm-Ra the centuries-old embodiment of evil, along with the mutants that destroyed the rest of the Thunderans are a constant threat. But Lion-O, the new leader of the Thundercats, with his weapon the "Sword of Omens" will help the Thundercats to have a standing chance.

Center
Primary
The film's core narrative is a classic heroic adventure focused on good vs. evil, survival, and leadership, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies from either the left or the right.
The 'ThunderCats' animated series features anthropomorphic alien characters, which means traditional human racial or gender casting considerations are not applicable. The narrative focuses on a classic good versus evil conflict without critiquing or explicitly addressing traditional human identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The show features Cheetara, a prominent female warrior, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, primarily using her staff and martial arts skills.
The Thundercats animated series does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate under the provided framework.
The animated series "ThunderCats" (1985) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on sci-fi adventure and fantasy elements, with no exploration of gender identity or related topics.
