Center
Primary
The film's narrative centers on universal, apolitical themes of friendship, courage, and defending one's home against an external magical threat, rather than promoting specific progressive or conservative ideologies.
This animated film primarily features non-human, anthropomorphic characters, which means the criteria for racial or gender recasting of traditional human roles do not directly apply. The narrative focuses on a fantasy adventure without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on traditional children's fantasy elements, focusing on friendship, courage, and overcoming evil without any explicit or implicit queer representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of the My Little Pony franchise, which consistently features characters with established genders. There are no instances where a character canonically established as one gender in the source material is portrayed as a different gender in this movie.
The film features anthropomorphic ponies, not human characters. The concept of 'race swap,' as defined by human racial categories, does not apply to these non-human characters.
