Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores the universal themes of war trauma and rehabilitation through the lens of a human-animal bond, emphasizing the healing power of love and patience without promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features a traditional cast predominantly composed of white actors, consistent with films of its era. Its narrative focuses on an animal's journey and human-animal bond, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "Courage of Lassie" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a collie dog's experiences during wartime and its bond with a young girl, without any elements related to queer identity.
The film focuses on the adventures of a collie dog and its young owner, Kathie Merrick. There are no scenes depicting any female character, including Kathie, engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The character of Lassie, canonically female, is portrayed as female in the film. While a male dog played the role, the character's gender within the narrative remains consistent with the source material, thus not constituting a gender swap.
The film "Courage of Lassie" (1946) features original human characters for its story. There is no prior source material or established canon for these specific characters that defines their race differently from their on-screen portrayal, thus no race swap occurred.
