Primary

The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble, reflecting its historical setting and production era. Its narrative centers on animal welfare and the human-animal bond, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Set in Victorian England, the film implicitly aligns with Christian virtues such as compassion, kindness, and justice through its narrative. While some characters exhibit cruelty despite their nominal faith, the film's overall message champions these positive values, positioning the audience to condemn hypocrisy and affirm humane treatment.
