Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict against absolute evil and its solution through individual sacrifice and the restoration of a benevolent, traditional order present themes that resonate across the political spectrum, leading to a neutral rating.
This animated adaptation of 'The Lord of the Rings' maintains traditional character depictions consistent with its source material, without incorporating explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on classic heroic themes and does not critically portray traditional identities or feature explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the epic fantasy quest without exploring queer identities or relationships, resulting in no explicit portrayal within the film.
The film features female characters such as Galadriel and Arwen. However, none of these characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Their roles do not involve direct physical confrontation.
The 1978 animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' faithfully portrays the established genders of all major characters from the source material. No characters canonically male or female in the books were depicted as a different gender in the film.
The 1978 animated film adapts J.R.R. Tolkien's novels. The characters' visual portrayals in the film align with their established racial depictions in the source material, with no instances of a character canonically established as one race being depicted as a different race.
