Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject of circus life and personal drama is largely apolitical, and while themes of tradition and resilience are present, they are not framed ideologically, leading to a neutral rating.
This animated short film does not feature human characters, therefore, the concepts of diverse casting or explicit identity representation are not applicable. The narrative focuses on abstract themes related to the circus atmosphere and does not engage with social commentary regarding traditional identities or DEI themes.
Secondary
Roman Kroitor's 1964 documentary 'Circus World' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film provides a factual look at the daily life and work within a circus, without engaging with specific identity-based narratives beyond the general human experience of the performers and crew.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Circus World (1974) is an original animated short film. It does not feature characters adapted from prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters from an existing franchise. Therefore, there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a previously established portrayal.
