Primary

The film's central focus on science education, curiosity, and the scientific method is fundamentally apolitical, aiming to foster general knowledge and critical thinking rather than promoting a specific political ideology.

The movie showcases a visibly diverse main cast, which is an integral part of its original design rather than a result of explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative centers on science education and adventure, portraying all characters, including those representing traditional identities, in a neutral or positive manner without explicit DEI themes or critiques.

Secondary

The Magic School Bus is an educational children's animated series primarily focused on science. The show does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, as its narrative scope is centered on scientific exploration and learning for a young audience.
